Art and Science is the Gold Standard. Thirty years of history in the hair industry with barbering in their DNA from the very beginning. No where in the world will you find a group that has developed more products, technical education and business systems to support the Prestige Mens Grooming initiative. Rigor, education and execution is their formula. Art and Science currently houses more International educators than any other group in the US, and is single mindedly focused on growing in the Mens category.
