About
MaxOliver specialise in the technical mechanics of men’s hairdressing so you don’t have too, welcome to the barbershop with a salon service, founded by the three brothers Max, Oliver and Josh in April 2013.
After four fantastic years of building the brand, clientele and reputation at the MaxOliver salon in Crowborough, the brothers decided to extend their reach. MaxOliver Royal Tunbridge Wells was born. Being perfectly positioned on the edge of The Pantiles, it didn’t take long for the word to spread and for people to recognise the talent and standards these boys were achieving.
After another three exciting years strengthening the two busy salons they had and upskilling their fantastic stylists, they tightened their seatbelt’s and went for a third location.. Lewes is the home to the newest MaxOliver salon, and what a stunning space it is.
The success of MaxOliver has ultimately come from listening, interpreting and understanding their client’s needs. Following a brief consultation; MaxOliver can achieve a perfectly tailored, bespoke hairstyle that complements you and your lifestyle.

MaxOliver’s internal education program has been built to thoroughly educate their stylist’s in both classic barbering and modern day hairdressing. Bringing together the best parts of each to build something stronger.
So whether you are looking to have the latest trend that you’ve seen online, or simply unsure and looking for some expert advice on how to freshen up your style. MaxOliver will be happy to advise and go through the options that are available to you, factoring in your hair type and daily maintenance requirements.
