My name is Conor, the owner of Fry’s. I have been a barber since 2016 but my journey into hair started long before that. I grew up in the structured world of a military boarding school where discipline and tradition shaped my early years. It was a world of precision and uniformity but I found my creative outlet in hair & design. They were some of the few spaces where individuality could shine and where I could craft something personal for others.
Despite years of working with different products I always struggled to find something that felt right. I have curly hair and I wanted a product that looked and felt natural. Too many products were heavy artificial or just didn’t sit right in the hair. I wanted something effortless something that respected both the sharp refined aesthetic of British barbering and the laidback undone texture of Byron Bay surf culture.
Beyond style I have always been conscious of what goes into the products I use. I am an animal lover and I do not believe that good hair should come at the expense of animal welfare. That is why I have always looked for products free from animal traces ones that align with my values without compromising on performance.
Fry’s is my answer to all of this. A brand built on quality simplicity and authenticity. It is about creating products that work with your hair not against it. Products that enhance texture without weighing it down. Products that reflect both my heritage and my lifestyle.
