Thousands of stylists from 26 countries around the world submitted their interpretation of the American Crew man: the personification of a brand whose roots were inspired by the classic grooming and style of the men of the 40s and 50s. After preliminary events in their home countries, 15 finalists were flown to Rome, Italy, for a head to head competition. For the final round, each stylist was given 30 minutes to shoot and select a photo to represent their final cut to the judges.

"The American Crew man is one who modernizes the classic looks that inspired the creation of our brand. That's what Sergiy accomplished today. Sergiy's winning look is a unique representation of the groomed pompadour," said Paul Wilson, American Crew Artistic Director.

The following finalists were selected to represent their country on the global stage: David Andreas Kyrkiris, Canada; Kevin Birk, Denmark; Guillaume Fort, France; Marcel Kuchenbrod, Germany; Zsanett Fabian, Hungary; Sergio Criscino, Italy; Armando Rivas De La Cruz, Mexico; Inger Lise Moa, Norway; Jaime Ruiz Tello, Peru; Krzysztof Chodorski, Poland; Raul Santana, Spain; Homan Taghizadeh, Sweden; Leonard Cakolli, Switzerland; Sergiy Shapochka, Ukraine; and Alyssa Brasket, United States.

"Since its inception twenty years ago, American Crew has been committed to supporting stylists," said David Raccuglia, founder of American Crew. "The All-Star Challenge provides the ultimate platform to highlight the incredible talents of these artists who set the trends for men's grooming and style across the world."

The All-Star Challenge is widely considered one of the top men's grooming competitions among professional hairdressers. The competition's global judging panel consisted of: Raccuglia; Wilson; Wayne Gross, Fashion Director, Maxim; Sergi Bancells, General Manager USA, Spain and Latin America, Estetica Magazine; and Jerome Kantner, 2013-2014 American Crew All-Star Challenge Global Champion.
