In the late sixties, no wood-paneled, shag-carpeted basement was complete without a blacklight poster glowing under UV. Bright, shimmering, electric, they captured the spirit of freedom, experimentation, and self-expression.
Black Light is the latest in Uppercut Deluxe’s collector series — a limited-edition twist on our best-selling Matte Pomade. Same trusted hold and natural finish, now in a bold Orange Fade colorway with tin artwork inspired by sixties poster art. Infused with a Highland fragrance of sandalwood, peppermint, and grapefruit, this collectible glows under UV light — a fresh take on a global favorite that embodies individuality and timeless style.
“Uppercut Deluxe has always been about more than just great hair products—it’s about capturing an essence of a counterculture.
The Black Light campaign came to life because we wanted to capture some of the creativity of a time when self-expression was bold, unapologetic, and rebellious. I wasn’t around in the late ’60s and ’70s, but I’ve always been inspired by the spirit of that era. Black light posters were a symbol of freedom and experimentation. They stood for individuality and culture, which is exactly what we try to put into every tin we make.
Pairing this idea with our Matte Pomade felt like the perfect fit. Matte has become a cornerstone for us—versatile, reliable, and trusted. By wrapping it in the Black Light concept, we wanted to give barbers and customers a chance to experience a familiar favorite in a new light—literally.” ~ Steve Purcell | Uppercut Deluxe Founder
