Rhys Whitehouse, head of education at Hinces, has been named Pro-Barber World Series British Barber of the Year 2022, having previously been named Wahl British Barber of the Year 2021.

These awards are recognised as two of the highest accolades in the industry and they are held by Hinces at The Parade Shops, located just off St Mary’s Street in Shrewsbury.

“It is such an honour to receive this award – one of the most prestigious titles in UK barbering,” Rhys said. “This award will have a huge effect on my career. Last year I was a finalist, and to win it this year is amazing. I’m really excited to be on the panel of judges for next year’s applicants.
