BARBinc News
BARBinc.com is proud to announce the winner of its first annual Black History Month #BarberArt Contest. Sponsored by BlackFacts.com, our winner is “Sea The Barber” (Instagram: @sea_thebarber) with an impressive portrait of Nelson Mandela…
But, who is “Sea The Barber”…?
“Sea” (not her real name) is the only female barber on staff at New York-based The Hustle Barbershop.
Cutting hair since 1998, Sea’s first BarberArt piece was a ninja cut (made with T-Outliners) that was posted on Instagram in August-2012 with the prophetic caption: “and so it begins…”
It’s also obvious that Sea is very well-liked within the industry as photos with Lena Piccininni, Eric “Pacinos” Roa, Eli Da Barber and other top-level barbers are spread throughout her photostream…
So… What’s Next…?
When asked what she would do with the $200 BlackFacts.com cash prize, Sea responds with true humility and professionalism:
“I believe in paying things forward so I plan on donating some money to a non – profit art organization for children. The rest will go to tools and art supplies that I’m in need of to help me advance in my work.”
– Sea The Barber
We at BARBinc couldn’t ask for a better contestant/winner and we wish Sea the best in all her future endeavors..!
