In a remarkable display of precision and teamwork, 48 barbers from across the GCC and Lebanon made history at the Beautyworld Middle East 2025 event in Dubai. Under the banner of BeautyLive by Fresha and in collaboration with STMNT Grooming, these skilled professionals achieved a Guinness World Record for the most consecutive beard trims and shaves completed in one hour by a team. The event, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, saw 190 men groomed in just 60 minutes, averaging one trim every 19 seconds. Each barber attended to approximately four clients, spending around 15 minutes per person. The achievement not only set a new benchmark but also introduced a fresh category to the Guinness World Records. The atmosphere was electric, with music playing, cameras rolling, and the crowd cheering as the barbers worked in perfect harmony. For participants like Khaled Kabboul from Director’s Cut and Amir Manzour from Mantis Barbershop, the event was a testament to the artistry and community spirit of barbering. ‘This moment is huge for us,’ said Kabboul. ‘We showed that barbering isn’t just a service; it’s a form of art, skill, and community.’ Manzour added, ‘Being part of something this historic means a lot. It was intense but deeply fulfilling.’ The successful attempt was meticulously monitored and verified by Guinness World Records adjudicators, who confirmed the new record. This event not only celebrated the craft of barbering but also highlighted Dubai’s penchant for hosting extraordinary achievements.
