Barbers set new Guinness World Record in Dubai
DUBAI – A new Guinness World Record was set at Beautyworld Middle East 2025 in Dubai, where 48 barbers from across the GCC and Lebanon completed 190 beard trims and shaves in just one hour.
The record attempt, held under BeautyLive by Fresha in collaboration with STMNT Grooming, took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The barbers worked in pairs across 24 grooming stations, with every move timed and monitored by Guinness officials. Each barber managed around four clients, completing a trim roughly every 19 seconds.
This was the first-ever attempt in a newly created Guinness category for the most beard trims and shaves completed by a team in one hour. After detailed verification, officials confirmed the attempt successful, declaring Dubai’s event a record-making moment for the barbering world.
The atmosphere at the venue was charged with excitement, music, and cheering crowds as professionals showcased precision, teamwork, and artistry. Participants described the experience as a proud moment that highlighted barbering as both a craft and a community effort.
The record added another highlight to Beautyworld Middle East, one of the region’s largest trade shows for the beauty and grooming industry.
