American Crew has named Alyssa Brasket, from The Barbers in Vancouver, WA, the 2014-2015 U.S. All-Star Challenge Winner. She was named the winner at the International Salon and Spa Expo Long Beach on Sunday, January 25th.
Alyssa won a $5,000 monetary prize, recognition in a 2015 professional salon magazine advertisement and inclusion in the 2016 American Crew Style Selector, a compilation of the Brand’s annual cut/style collection. Alyssa will represent the United States as one of 15 finalists chosen to compete in the global 2014-2015 American Crew All-Star Challenge held in Europe, April 2015.
Alyssa has been a key player in Vancouver’s grooming space for the past nine years and is recognized for her ability to create classic looks with a trendy edge. Drawing inspiration from classic style icons of the past, Alyssa paired timeless length with a modern flare for her winning look.
Entrants cut and styled a male model with American Crew products and submitted photos to a judging panel of industry experts who selected the winner based on technique, styling and individual inspiration for a modern, masculine look. The All Star Challenge judging panel consisted of: American Crew Artistic Director Paul Wilson; Men’s Fitness Style and Grooming Editor Barret Wertz; MaleStandard.com Co-Founder Victor Macias.
