Sergiy Shapochka from Ukraine was named the Champion of the American Crew 2014-2015 All-Star Challenge, an annual global competition for men’s hair styling. The announcement was made on April 20, 2015 at the Fiera Roma Arena, in Rome, Italy.

Sergiy’s look was inspired by the movies of the ‘60s and ‘70s, including “Rebel Without a Cause.” “He is a character like James Dean and James Bond; the guy that is quiet, masculine and discreet, and speaks with his actions, not with his words,” said Sergiy.
