Barbershop group, Ruffians, has appointed Denis Robinson as its artistic director. Denis brings more than 35 years’ experience to the role, which will see him developing the creative talents of the Ruffians team. Denis’s career includes working as an educator of the senior team at Charles Worthington, before heading up the brand’s artistic division. More recently he worked at the London Hair Academy. Said Andrew Cannon, CEO of Ruffians: “We are delighted to have Denis heading up our artistic team and creative vision. Men’s hairdressing has come on leaps and bounds over the past four to five years, our desire is for Ruffians to continue as the driving force.
