At No.1 Barbers, we’ve always said there’s more to a great barbershop than just sharp fades and clean beard trims… but we didn’t quite expect our barber chairs to make it onto BBC TV during Winter Olympics coverage!

On Saturday night, millions of viewers watching the Winter Olympics on BBC TV were treated to a surprise feature; our team of talented barbers in Milton Keynes racing down an imaginary ice track in a four-man “bobsleigh”… powered entirely by barber chairs and questionable athletic ability. 🛷💈

And if that wasn’t enough, this is actually the second time the BBC have featured No.1 Barbers during Olympic coverage…

🧹 Flashback: When We Took Curling Very Seriously

During the previous Winter Olympics in 2022, we swapped sleds for sweeping brushes and transformed our shop floor into a curling rink - using nothing more than a broom, Mr Muk Styling products and a healthy dose of imagination.

That clip was also picked up and shared during Olympic coverage, putting our independent Milton Keynes barbershop in front of a national audience.

From curling to bobsleigh… we’re starting to think Team GB might just need Team No.1 Barbers. 😉
