WHEN you’ve got friends in high places…
Ahmed Alsanawi first caught our attention when we discovered he was Paul Pogba’s barber of choice.
The owner of A Star Barbers has also cut the hair of Chelsea stars John Terry, Eden Hazard, Benjamin Mendy and most recently Danny Drinkwater.
After much success, Ahmed opened a new shop two weeks ago.

And he has now celebrated with a star-studded launch in Chessington, Surrey.
John Terry, Eden Hazard and his brother Kylian all dropped into show their love for their favourite hairdresser.
“We were in a little shop, but now we’re in a much bigger one and things are working out well,” he told SunSport.
“I’ve always got a lot of support from the footballers, they’ve been amazing to me over the year.

“It was great that John and Eden turned up to the launch party. I’ve known them a few years, so it was nice of them to come along.
“I feel blessed having that support from two massive names like that in the game, as do the rest of my hardworking team.”
Ahmed added: “We got a lot of love from footballers on Instagram too, so everyone’s happy for us.”
The 26-year-old self-taught barber began cutting footballers’ hair ten years ago, beginning with the Chelsea youth team.

@paulpogba“We have great banter. If you ask that old barber’s faithful question, ‘Where did you go for your holidays?’ you hear amazing stories.
“The most famous cut I’ve done was Pogba’s. The first time I did his hair I shaved #Equal into it, for the anti-racism campaign.”
For just £30 for a trim, you too could get a haircut like a Premier League star.
Make a booking with Ahmed, you won’t regret it.
