Manufacturing Process

Kent’s trademark design, detail, and craftsmanship easily set the brand apart from other manufacturers.

Producing a Kent brush is similar to producing a valuable piece of art that requires special technique and close precision. Consumers are surprised to learn that many of their original hair brushes are still produced by hand in their Apsley, Hertfordshire factory. Its attention to detail separates Kent from its competitors. One brush can take up to 540 hours to complete because of the fine and precise details inherent in the brushes!

Sustainable and Quality Materials

Whether handmade or factory produced, Kent remains committed to excellence and uses the same high-quality materials for all their brushes. High-quality bristles, available in black and white, are sourced from China and India to ensure that each brush is gentle and effective.
