Meet our local barber who gave Manchester United players a trim!
Mr Muhammad Khairi, 28, is the owner of The 'A' Street Barber Shop which opened since 4 years ago.
In an interview he said,
“When I first got the text to give haircuts for the Manchester United players, I was just sitting and relaxing after Friday prayers. I didn’t believe it. I thought it was a scam.
I think I’ll remember cutting every single one of the players’ hair for the rest of my life, especially Paul Pogba. He is well known for his lifestyle. He is also very particular about his hair, so that got me a bit tense.
After this experience, yeah, I think I can call Ashley Young my friend. When he was getting booed at the stadium last Saturday, I was very protective of him - like eh, why were you booing my friend?
I’ve been cutting hair professionally for six years. I started cutting my friends’ hair when I was 15, but I only thought about making it my career after National Service.
Back then, those gentleman barbers were trending. So, I jumped onto the bandwagon and opened The 'A' Street Barber Shop four years ago.
As a barber, you need to be passionate about cutting hair and love making people look good. I hope I can cut Gurmit Singh’s hair next as I think he’s a very nice guy. He seems super genuine.
I wouldn’t say this has made me a better barber, but it made me a better person. People are complimenting and congratulating me. I feel so humbled.”
Congratulations and don't ever give up on your dreams!
And thank you for standing up for Ashley.
