American Crew announces that Chris O’Riordan has joined its All-Star Team…making a champion for Ireland. Based in the Emerald Isle, Chris has established a loyal clientele and works under his newly launched brand name Core. With more than a decade in the industry, he was chuffed to be awarded the title while attending The American Crew retreat in Barcelona this October. All-Star is a global honour, given in recognition to some of the world’s leading barbers. The award paves the way for Chris to spread more of his inspiring work under the banner of American Crew.

Matt Horder, Revlon Professional general manager for UK & Ireland, says: “It’s fantastic to have an American Crew All-Star back in Ireland. Chris is an extremely skilled barber and a talented educator. We’ve seen his journey progress alongside the American Crew brand as an educator and this is a fitting way to acknowledge his outstanding commitment and achievements.”
“American Crew is more than just a product company, we are also dedicated to developing people, which we do through our network of All-Stars, who act as figureheads for the brand and in turn create a strong community, which we’re extremely proud of.”
