My real interest in barbering started when I was 14 years old. I developed an interest in, and admiration for, different styles and techniques of hairdressing. I found myself becoming increasingly keen to keep up to date with the latest hairstyles and fashion trends through magazines and social media. At the age of 16 I was granted a two week work experience placement in Wayne Lloyd Creative Hair, and it was here where my barbering career started. Since then I have been trained under the careful eye of my mentor Wayne Lloyd, who was the person that gave me the chance to pursue my barbering career. I have also learned and developed my barbering skills from Adam O’Callaghan, John Keegan and Aaron Healy. All of these experiences have resulted in me being in the position to where I am now, which is being a finalist in the American Crew All-Star Challenge.
