A pair of Ipswich barbers are hoping to be a cut above the rest as they compete to win a national hairdressing title.
Giovanni and Fabio De Lellis, of the Francesco Hair Slaon, have already been named amongst the country's top cutters by reaching the finals of the Britain's Best 2019 competition at Salon International.
Fabio, 27, is in the Barber of the Year category while Giovanni, 32, is in the Men's Cut and Finish category.
They will find out if they have won at the finals of the competition, run by the National Hairdressers Federation, at the ExCeL Centre in London on October 6.
Giovanni De Lellis said: "We are really looking forward to it. It is going to be a very big event."
