My name is Connor and I’m a 21-year-old barber and the proud owner of CT Cutss, a company I started after leaving my previous salon last year. Since then, I’ve worked hard to make a name for myself in the industry. I’m honored to have won the Modern Barber Raw Talent competition, which really helped to push me further. I’ve also had the opportunity to do stage work with Modern Barber, sharing my skills and passion with a wider audience. I’m excited to keep growing and can’t wait to show everyone the work I’ve been putting in.

After moving from Romania to the UK, I immediately focused on my barber education at the London School of Barbering. I quickly honed my unique skills and utilized social media to grow my clientele. After winning my first competition as a Raw Talent, I was entered into the 2025 Barber of the Year contest and had the opportunity to perform at Modern Barber, sharing my knowledge with others. Make sure to prepare your questions for my seminar at Modern Barber in BC Birmingham on May 18th at 14:30. This is an event you won’t want to miss.

I've been a barber for 12 years since moving away from journalism. In those years I’ve had the pleasure of working and knowing some of the best barbers and working with companies like Matakki Scissors who have supported me for the past couple of years. I’ve worked with Southampton college at times with education which is a direction I would like to move into as I enjoy showing and teaching what I know. I’m so happy to be back at Barber connect with Modern Barber to showcase some of my skills and work with some amazing barbers in the industry

Over the past 13 years, I’ve traveled from the vibrant streets of South Africa to the dynamic barbershops of England, transforming my passion for barbering into an exciting and fulfilling career. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of owning my own salon and winning the Perfect Cut and Street Style awards in 2020—moments that continue to motivate and inspire me. I’m always striving to push myself to grow, innovate, and stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry. While education and learning are key elements of my journey, it’s the satisfaction of helping people feel confident and look their best every day that truly fuels my passion. Now, I’m thrilled to be a part of the talented team at Luchmun Studios, where I continue to hone my craft and provide clients with exceptional service.
