Why We Carry Byrd

Born in Newport Beach and backed by barbers, Byrd brings surf culture to your bathroom shelf — but this isn’t just a beachy vibe in a tin. These products are performance-first. Tested by guys who actually live in the sun, salt, and surf.

So yeah, Byrd might look chill. But it performs like it’s on deadline.

What Makes Them Different

Byrd was founded by pro surfer Chase Wilson, who wanted styling products that could handle a full day on the beach — and still look good for dinner. That means strong hold, clean ingredients, and salt-spray-level texture without drying you out.

Their formulas are paraben-free, sulfate-free, made in California, and infused with ingredients that strengthen hair (think vitamin B5 and castor oil). The signature scent? Think surf wax meets citrus — subtle, fresh, and unmistakably Byrd.

Plus, they’re all about the essentials: pomades, sea salt spray, shampoo, conditioner. No fluff, no filler, no 16-step routines. Just what works.

Why It Earned Its Place at Henkey’s

At Henkey’s, we’re big on function. Every product we carry has to earn its place. And Byrd does — especially for guys who want clean, strong, unfussy haircare that doesn’t overpromise or underperform.

It’s California-cool with actual substance. Grooming for guys who show up — to the office, to the waves, to wherever the day takes them.
