American Crew’s All-Star Challenge

American Crew has culled through thousands of All-Star Challenge submissions to select the 15 finalists in its quest to find best men's grooming stylist in the world.

The brand's All-Star Challenge is widely considered one of the top men's grooming competitions among professional hairdressers. For the final round, each stylist will be given 30 minutes to shoot and select a photo to represent their final cut to the judges. The contest encourages stylists around the world to submit their interpretation of the American Crew man: the personification of a trend-setting brand whose roots were inspired by the classic grooming and style of the men of the 40s and 50s.

The finalists, who will be flown to Rome, Italy  for a head to head competition, are: David Andreas Kyrkiris, Canada; Kevin Birk, Denmark; Guillaume Fort, France; Marcel Kuchenbrod, Germany; Zsanett Fabian, Hungary; Sergio Criscino, Italy; Armando Rivas De La Cruz, Mexico; Inger Lise Moa, Norway; Jaime Ruiz Tello, Peru; Krzysztof Chodorski, Poland; Raul Santana, Spain; Homan Taghizadeh, Sweden; Leonard Cakolli, Switzerland; Sergiy Shapochka, Ukraine; and Alyssa Brasket, US.

“American Crew has spent twenty years supporting the stylists who continue to reinterpret, reimagine and modernize the classic looks that inspired the creation of this brand,” said David Raccuglia, founder of American Crew. “The All-Star Challenge provides the ultimate platform to highlight the incredible talents of these artists, who keep the world of style and grooming so exciting.”
