Founded in 1979 by Wayne Clark, a hairstylist, that grew frustrated by the lack of quality and innovation when it came to apparel, brushes, combs, shears, etc. The 1st product launched was a round brush with wooden handle and nylon bristles. After this successful launch, Cricket continued to pioneer and market compelling tools to stylists. Cricket was the 1st company to introduce "Static Free" brushes to the market.
