This barber is behind the haircuts of some of the world's most famous soccer players. Ahmed Alsanawi has styled everyone from Paul Pogba to Eden Hazard.
We went to his shop near London to get a fresh new cut and find out more about him and his rise in the barber game. So how exactly do you become a barber to all these stars?
- It started when I was a young kid, going to the barbershop and just had enough of people messing with my hair, so I took matters into my own hands, literally, and started cutting my own hair. Then it started becoming my brother, my dad, my neighbors and then eventually worked in a shop, built a clientele, and then opened up A Star Barbers in 2013. All right, Huey, can you mix the bleach for me please, mate?- It's probably about a year and a half ago people started bleaching their hair.
- [Ahmed] I was born in Baghdad, come here when I was 9 years old. So yeah, certain people say I've come far, you know? Where I've come from and opened up a lot of opportunities, and you've gotta grab them. I cut Pogba's hair, I think it was two years ago.
