Conceived and created entirely by and for men.

Hedbanger is the property of We Saw Satan, a Design Factory comprised by an Industrial Designer and a Metal Sculptor. Hedbanger is the hangout that we created for ourselves.

It all began because we longed for the barbershops of old; a place where men can spend time together as friends. Every single item in this space, right down to the wheels on the tables, was designed and given shape by We Saw Satan to transform our lair into Hedbanger.

We created a place infused with testosterone.

Where men are free to be Men.

Hedbanger means making new life-long friends. With each shave or haircut, our clients receive a complementary whiskey or beer. But they don’t just come for a cut, we are more than a whiskey bar and more than a barbershop; here old friends reunite and a new brotherhood is forged.

The Hedbanger atmosphere is achieved through the fusion of four distinct elements: the best barbers, great bartenders, excellent whiskies, and a space designed by and for Men.

The Bartender

All of our bartenders are experienced and knowledgable with whiskey. Many of them, as well as our barbers, are dedicated professionals that have many years of experience in their respective trades.

The Barber

Fed up with soulless bars and the disappearance of traditional barbers, we set out to recover the spirit of the barbershops of yore. And we resolved to open a space dedicated to rediscovering these essential bastions of masculinity.

Partnerships

The brand is the message: deciding which brands share our Hedbanger spirit is a blend of creativity, strategy, and a profound knowledge of what Men want. This is why we are always on the look-out for alliances that can make our journey more fullfilling.

The Chair

There are an abundant variety of barber’s chairs in the world but Belmont chairs are renown for their quality and tradition; they dominated the market during the golden-age of barbershops. Now, thanks to Takara and Hedbanger everyone can share this experience.

The Beer

Beer is an essential part of Hedbanger, which is why we have only partnered with those brands that share the Hedbanger spirit.

The Whiskey

At our whiskey bar we believe in two things: Dedication and Respect, this is why we will be the best whiskey bar in the country.

Jack Daniel´s

From the beginning the relationship between Jack Daniel’s and Hedbanger has been unique.

The Style

Exclusive distributors of Uppercut. A brand established by barbers, that follows the timeless tenets of style; Uppercut represents the best in grooming products for men.

The Art

The artwork on display in Hedbanger represents our own collection; we invest in local artists with a national and international presence such as: Guillermo Colmenero, Gustavo Montes and Román Eguía. Many of them regulars at Hedbanger. Our gallery concept will be replicated in every city where we open a locale in order to support local talent.
