College prepares for Great British Barber Bash 2022

The Great British Barber Bash crew are heading to East Sussex College’s Lewes campus to showcase the finest cuts and techniques in barbering.

Members of the Great British Barber Bash crew come to Lewes on Tuesday 22nd February to put on a three-hour spectacle, demonstrating the latest cuts and styles in barbering. Four models will be presented for the event, displaying the newest trends.

Doors open at 6pm and the show will get underway at 6:30pm. All attendees will receive a goody bag worth £15 from The Great British Barber Bash sponsors, OSMO, and a £10 voucher to redeem at Salons Direct.

The Great British Barber Bash team regularly tour all over the country, creating magnificent hairstyles for men and women, while putting on an entertaining show in front of a live audience. The team previously put on a successful show at the College in 2017 when they visited the Hastings campus.

Hairdressing lecturer, Allan Hyatt, expressed his excitement ahead of the 2022 edition of the Great British Barber Bash and said, “This is an amazing opportunity for the College to continue to build links with employers by holding a networking event and enriching the learning for our students.

“This event is about bringing our industry communities together. There will be six creative design looks being displayed live on stage by leading industry professionals. It’s a fantastic opportunity for people to keep up to date with trends, skills and products, but also to help students have more opportunities to continue their development whilst meeting with industry professionals.”

Allan added that barbering students will gain further insight into the skill and techniques used in the industry. He said, “Hosting this event allows us to engage with industry professionals and form links to enrich our students' learning, knowledge and skills. Some of the students will be helping out at the event too, so it's a great experience for them.”
