    Sons of Hollis 

    During a Subway ride in New York City in the Summer of 2015, founders Neville and Tony learned their friends were dealing with the same issues around men’s grooming —  there was no singular voice that spoke directly to them and their unique coarse and curly hair pattern. Neville and Tony started their careers by working with women in the natural hair care space and learning what works best with natural hair. That time paid off and now Sons of Hollis serves an often-overlooked demographic – men with pigmented skin. Thus, Sons of Hollis was born in a tiny basement in Hollis, Queens and since their humble beginnings in 2015 they’ve amassed loyal customers from across the world. All products are ethically sourced, and 100% organic. Their mission is to ensure a better future for the next generation.  5% of all sales go to local nonprofits that are dedicated to youth development in inner city neighborhoods.
