According to the Company:
The Cricket® Company was founded in 1979 by Wayne Clark. Wayne was a hairstylist and was very frustrated by the quality and lack of imagination by sundry manufacturers when it came to brushes, combs, shears, apparel, etc.
The first Cricket® product was launched as an exclusive for West Coast Beauty in their selling area. The product was a brush called the "RP". This was a wooden handled round brush with nylon bristles, as well as the first brush that was really marketed for salon retail. It was such a success in the West Coast Beauty Supply market that Wayne made the decision to take Cricket® nationally.
From there Cricket® continued to pioneer and market compelling tools to hairstylists. Cricket® was the first company to introduce "Static Free™" brushes, high end round brushes such as Technique (still the #1 round brush in the salon industry), Silkombs™, Boar Bristle, Nylon/Boar Mix, and countless other innovative products. Cricket® also developed a high quality line of apparel that featured "high fashion" and trendy patterns as well as everyday capes, cover-ups, and aprons in the haircutting, waterproof, and all purpose categories. Cricket's® award winning marketing and design has brought home 7 ABBIES Awards over the past few years as well as the winner of the first ever "Golden ABBIE". In 2003 Cricket® won the ABBIES for the "Best Overall Sales Promotion". This award competed against every category in the professional industry....quite an accomplishment.
Wayne then got into the shear business and Centrix® was created. Innovative design, ergonomic comfort, and performance all came together to create Centrix® shears. Centrix's® marketing discouraged "price off" and Wayne found "premiums" and other professionally based gift with purchase that enticed stylists to buy Centrix® shears knowing they would be buying a quality product and receive a high value gift in appreciation for their business. Since the creation of "The Stylist Choice" awards 5 years ago, Centrix® has won that award for shears every year.
The Cricket® Company continues to grow at a remarkable pace. In a single digit growth industry, Cricket® is showing increases of 23% over the last couple of years. New and innovative products such as the Sci:Tec™ brush collection, StraightCrazy™ and X2 Ceramic flat irons, and plans for much more.
Jared Clark, Wayne's son is the General Manager and leader of the company. He started in the industry as a teenager and has proven himself as a true visionary. The rest of the Cricket® team is made up of people with great industry experience combined with creativity, customer care, and a strong work ethic.
