Australian Barber-Built Grooming — Matte Finishes, Beard, Shave and Skin

Uppercut Deluxe was started in 2013 by two barbers, Steve Purcell and Nick Barnett, working out of a shop on Sydney's Northern Beaches. That is the most useful fact about the brand, because it explains the shape of the range: it was built around what a barber reaches for during a service, then extended outwards — which is why it runs from styling into beard, shave, face and scalp, and then keeps going into capes, combs and shop fittings.

It also explains the finishes. Uppercut leans matte, dry and reworkable rather than wet-look and glossy. The Clay Spray builds grip at the root before you style; the Control Cream groups curls and kills frizz without holding anything; the Foam Tonic is the only product in the line carrying heat protection. On the beard and shave side the range is unusually complete for a hair brand — oil, balm, a rich shave cream with allantoin, a transparent gel for edging a beard line, and a low-alcohol Aftershave Cologne.

ProHair carries 20 Uppercut Deluxe products in Canada, including the 3 in 1 Wash in both the 240 ml bottle and the 1 L backbar litre, and the barber capes and combs that go with them. One honest limitation before you shop: Uppercut Deluxe does not make a conditioner, in this market or any other. If your hair needs conditioning, that comes from another brand — and we stock plenty.

Uppercut Deluxe Clay Spray 150 ml — 150 ml clay spray bottle, front label, plain white background
Start here

Styling

Three stylers that are not interchangeable. Clay Spray ($22.50, 150 ml) goes into damp hair before you style and leaves grit and grip at the root — the fix for hair with no volume. Control Cream ($22.50, 120 ml) barely holds anything on purpose: it groups curls and stops frizz. Foam Tonic ($21.00, 150 ml) is a light-hold foam and the only product in the range with heat protection built in.

Five products

Beard & Shave

The most complete half of the range. Beard Oil ($21.00, 30 ml, argan and jojoba) softens the hair and calms the skin underneath at any length; Beard Balm ($21.00) adds light control once the beard is past stubble. Shave Cream ($17.25, 120 g) lathers rich with allantoin for skin that goes red; Clear Shave Gel ($17.25, 120 ml) is transparent so you can see the line you are cutting. Aftershave Cologne ($26.49, 100 ml) is a low-alcohol woody citrus that lasts.

Uppercut Deluxe 3 in 1 Wash 240 ml — black 240 ml bottle, front label, plain white background
Includes the 1 L litre

Wash & Scalp

3 in 1 Wash ($17.25 / 240 ml, $52.50 / 1 L) is the gentle everyday default for hair, face and body — and the litre is 27% cheaper per millilitre. Detox & Degrease ($17.25) uses charcoal and a wax-removal complex to strip styling product out; use it weekly, not daily. Clear Scalp Shampoo ($17.25) clears a congested scalp and soothes it on the way out, which is what makes it safe for frequent use.

Around the shave

Skin

Two products, both $17.25 and both 120 ml. The Exfoliating Cleanser uses pumice and charcoal and is gentle enough for daily use — its real job is pre-shave, lifting flat hairs so the blade takes them first time. The Hydrating Moisturizer is oil-free and finishes properly matte, which is the thing men with oily skin normally cannot find, and it is calm enough to go straight onto a just-shaved face.

Barber Capes & Combs

Three barber capes at $36.44 — Bridge Burner, Collage and Groomzilla. One cape in three artworks: same cut, same eight snap closures, same past-knee length. Two combs at $13.50: the CB11 Rake Comb has wide-set teeth for thick hair and a softer comb line, the CT7 Flip Comb folds into a pocket. The cape artworks are discontinued by the brand, so what we hold is what exists.

Gift & Shop Objects

The Matte Pomade & 3 in 1 Wash Duo ($33.00) is two full-size products rather than travel minis — and it is the only way to buy the 100 g Matte Pomade here, which works out around $15.75 once you account for the $17.25 wash. The Panther Head Candle ($33.75) is a sculpted 95% beeswax panther head, unscented, and discontinued: a shop object for a station or a shelf, not a grooming product.

Which Uppercut Deluxe Products Are Right for You?

Volume & Texture

Best for: Fine or flat hair

Clay Spray is the one product here that adds grip rather than hold. Into damp hair, roots first, then dry with your fingers — it leaves a dry, slightly rough texture that everything you do afterwards can hold onto. It is a pre-styler, which is the part most people get wrong.

Frizz & Curl Control

Best for: Wavy and curly hair

Control Cream for definition without crunch, Foam Tonic for curls that need encouraging rather than controlling. Both are light. Neither will hold a structured shape, and that is deliberate — the point is hair that looks like you did nothing to it.

Heat Protection

Best for: Anyone who owns a dryer

Foam Tonic is the only Uppercut Deluxe product with heat protection in it. Scrunch a golf-ball through damp hair before you dry. If you blow dry regularly, this decides the purchase on its own, whatever else you were weighing up.

Deep Clean & Scalp Reset

Best for: Daily product users

Matte stylers are wax-based and an ordinary shampoo leaves a film behind, which is why hair goes flatter and duller through the week. Detox & Degrease once a week resets it. Clear Scalp Shampoo is the other one — for a congested or irritated scalp, and gentle enough to use often.

Beard Care

Best for: Any length past day three

Oil is for the skin and the hair; balm is for the shape. Under about two months of growth, oil only — the itch that ends most beards in week three comes from the skin underneath, not the hair. Past that, most people use both, oil on damp hair and balm to finish.

Shave & Post-Shave

Best for: Sensitive or oily skin

Shave Cream for razor burn and dry skin, Clear Shave Gel for oily skin and for edging a beard line you need to see. Exfoliating Cleanser before, Hydrating Moisturizer after, Aftershave Cologne last once the skin has settled.

Barbershop Supplies

Best for: Working barbers

Eight snap closures mean the neck adjusts to every client instead of one fixed size; past-knee length means clippings land on the floor rather than in someone's shoes. Add the CB11 for dense hair and the 1 L 3 in 1 Wash at the basin — 5.25 cents per ml against 7.19 for the small bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Uppercut Deluxe make a conditioner?
No — not in Canada and not anywhere. Uppercut Deluxe makes washes, not a cleanse-and-condition system, and the 3 in 1 Wash is a wash. If your hair is long, coloured, dry or damaged you need a conditioner or mask alongside it, from another brand. We would rather tell you that than sell you a third wash. It is the single most important thing to know before you build a routine around this line.
Where is the Matte Pomade?
The brand's best-known product, the 100 g Matte Pomade, is not stocked as a standalone at ProHair at the moment. It is available inside the Matte Pomade & 3 in 1 Wash Duo at $33.00. Because the wash on its own is $17.25, that effectively prices the pomade around $15.75 — a good route to it, as long as you also want the wash.
Which shampoo actually removes clay and pomade?
Detox & Degrease. It carries activated charcoal and a dedicated wax-removal complex, which a normal shampoo does not. Use it once a week: it is a deep clean, and used daily it will strip more than you want. If your scalp is the problem rather than your hair, Clear Scalp Shampoo is the one you want instead — it clears congestion and soothes on the way out, so it is safe to use often.
Shave Cream or Clear Shave Gel?
Neither is better; they answer different questions. The Shave Cream gives a dense lather and carries allantoin, so it is the pick for dry or sensitive skin and for anyone whose neck is raw by the end. The gel is transparent and light, which matters enormously if you are shaving around a beard line and need to see the edge, and it suits oily skin that finds creams heavy. Both are $17.25.
Is the 1 L 3 in 1 Wash worth it?
On the arithmetic, yes. The 240 ml at $17.25 is 7.19 cents per millilitre; the 1 L at $52.50 is 5.25 cents — 27% less per wash. Both sizes live on the same product page as size options. It is the obvious call for a backbar, and a sensible one for a heavy household user.
Are the three barber capes different?
Only in artwork. Bridge Burner, Collage and Groomzilla are the same cape underneath — identical cut, identical eight snap closures, identical past-knee length, all $36.44. Pick the print that suits the shop. Worth knowing: these three artworks are discontinued by Uppercut Deluxe, so if you want matching capes for a shop, buy them together.
Is Uppercut Deluxe worth the price against a drugstore brand?
Most of the line sits between $17.25 and $26.49, which is professional tier. What you are paying for is formulation aimed at a specific problem — heat protection in the Foam Tonic, a wax-removal complex in Detox & Degrease, allantoin in the Shave Cream, an oil-free matte finish in the moisturizer. If you just want clean hair and a cheap shave, a drugstore product will do that and we will say so.

Yes. ProHair is an authorized Canadian stockist and has supplied salons and barbershops since 1996. Everything on this page is held in Canada, ships domestically, and is priced in Canadian dollars, with free shipping over $120. No grey-market imports and no parallel stock.
