Congratulations to Chris O’Riordan on his recent win in The Bike Shed on Shoreditch, London. Chris won the American Crew All Star Challenge where he was required to present a commercial look using the American Crew products.  Chris, a native of Glencar, has been in the barbering industry for over six years and has been a leading influence on pushing the boundaries on men's grooming to the limit at Sean Taaffe Group.

He has a very clear vision of where he wants to go and has been on a whirlwind journey over the past year, winning four competitions. He picked up the Irish Men's Visionary Award and the Global American Crew All Star Challenge Ireland, as well as the International Men's Visionary Award and OMC Gent's Stylist Award.

His next challenge is in Barcelona, where he will be putting his best foot forward in the Global American Crew competition for Ireland.

Chris said: "I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to have won this competition. I cannot believe how far I have come and this is been an absolutely great start to my year. Roll on Barcelona."

Speaking for Sean Taaffe group manager Kara McDonagh said "Everyone at Sean Taaffe is very proud of what he has achieved on his journey and wish him all the very best in his next competition."
