You heard right! You can win the complete line of Wahl's 5-Star clippers, trimmers and shavers, plus an honorary place on the Wahl Education and Artistic Team (W.E.A.T) for one year.
The 5-Star collection features a line of clippers, trimmers, combos and finishing tools. See them all here.
All you have to do is participate in Wahl Professional's Barber Battle on June 1, 2017. Competing barbers will complete blade-to-blade for the grand prize in Wahl Professional's first exclusive online barber battle.
“We’re excited to be the first professional clipper company to ever host our own online barber battle competition,” says Lance Wahl, Global Vice President Professional Products, Wahl Clipper Corporation. “The competition is for U.S. professionals only who are registered in our Wahl Ambassador program, and features a video submission limited to 15 minutes or less.”
The second place winner will receive a Wahl prize package with 3 clippers, 3 trimmers and the 5-Star Finale Finishing Tool and the third place winner will receive the Wahl 5-Star Barber Combo and the 5-Star Finale Finishing Tool.
Contestants entering Wahl’s Barber Battle will submit a video competing in three different looks: the pompadour, bald fade and a creative cut, a freestyle look determined by the artists. Because this competition is a first of its kind, judging officials anticipate a variety of talent and creativity. Each video submission must total 15 minutes or less, allowing five minutes per haircut. All contestants must be a member of the Wahl Ambassador Program and use all Wahl tools to complete the looks.
