Andis Battle Royale Winners 2024
Creative Freestyle Barbering
Claston Gordon aka @iam_bladecutbarber
“I feel absolutely amazing especially because I came 2nd place in 2023, so I came back for 2024’s competition and put my all my art and creativity into the cut and won.”

Rookie Freestyle Barbering
Harry Cowan aka @harrycowan06
“I mean I didn’t expect it if I’m honest. I was nervous to begin with but once on that stage I knew I just had to lock in and think that’s ‘its just like being in my shop’. Not paying attention to anyone else’s work I think really helped me excel and winning my first competition felt amazing.”
