November 2009: The crowds turned out in force in Manchester for the inaugural American Crew Face Off competition. Stylists from across the UK had submitted their black and white contemporary shots to be judged by American Crew‘s founder, David Raccuglia, and were awaiting the results.

100 finalists were whittled down to just 20 for the big final in London in February 2010. Prizes include an LA shoot with David and international media coverage.

Norah from Jason Shankey Male Grooming Ballyhackamore scooped a revered place in the final, cheered on by Jason Shankey teams from London and Belfast. We all wish her luck for the February final in London.

Brenda Shankey congratulates Norah.
