Hj's barber of the year competition back for 2015

After record-breaking entries last year, HJ's Barber of the Year competition is back and bigger than ever for 2015. Sponsored by Andis, the competition tasks talented barbers with creating an on-trend look live on the show floor at Salon International. To enter, all you need to do is upload a photo of a men's hairstyle that you've created. You don't need to use a professional model or photographer; just snap and send your work! Lucky finalists will then be invited to recreate their look live at Salon International - using a free pair of Andis clippers - where a panel of men's hairdressing experts will be on hand to pick a winner. Last year's winner, Miguel Gutierrez, has gone from strength to strength since winning, including the opening of his own salon in Shoreditch. Feeling inspired to enter? Just upload your picture today!
