Who is Dear Charlie?
Our core mission is to be the leading men's hair brand dedicated to educating on self-care and men's grooming. We believe in quality ingredients that support healthy hair and cater to the lifestyle of today's modern man. Our commitment to education, service, and support extends beyond our products; it's a guiding principle in everything we do.
Our Philosophy
We take pride in offering not only top-notch grooming products but also a wealth of accessible knowledge. Our aim is to empower individuals to look and feel their best in life, fostering confidence through self-care and personal grooming. By providing a rich resource of 'how-to' short videos, we guide individuals on their journey towards self-improvement.
In our dedication to sustainability, we prioritize not only the well-being of our customers but also that of the planet. We use advanced, plant-derived ingredients in our products, and our commitment to eco-friendliness extends to our packaging. We've chosen to embrace Vivomer, a revolutionary material that is completely vegan, petroleum-free, and compostable. So, when you choose Dear Charlie, you're not just making a choice for your grooming needs; you're also making a choice for a greener, more sustainable future.
We're not just a brand; we're a trusted companion that helps you navigate the world of grooming and personal style.
Our vision is to be the go-to brand for guidance and quality products, whether you seek shaving tips, hair care solutions, or styling advice, all delivered in a way that's detailed, helpful, and tailored to your needs.
