Self-Taught Barber Wins UK Title | Leicester News

A 27-year-old barber from Leicester, Rahul Tanna, just won the UK’s Best Barber award for 2026—after teaching himself how to cut hair via YouTube in 2019. Now owner of Tannatrims, he beat top competitors nationwide with his precision, creativity, and flair. Beyond the scissors, he gives free cuts to homeless folks and styled stars like Mist, Likkleman, and even his idol Bugzy Malone. He calls barbering “the best job in the world,” saying it feels more like hanging out with friends than work. With plans to defend his crown next year, Rahul’s story is proof that passion, hustle, and a little YouTube know-how can turn dreams into national acclaim.
