Barber Pete drafted in to prepare pop star...

- By Josh Timlin

BARNSLEY-born hairstylis­t-to-thestars Pete Burkill created two looks for pop sensation Bebe Rexha for a prestigiou­s awards night in Cannes last week.

Pete has been jetting around the globe as one of the most in-demand hairstylis­ts for the A-list and was commission­ed again by Grammynomi­nated Bebe at the NRJ Awards following their last collaborat­ion at the MTV EMAs.

Pete, whose parents Dave and Teresa hail from and remain in Barnsley, counts Kylie Minogue, Emma Thompson and Bobbie Brown on his client list.

He said: “I always knew I wanted to work in a space beyond the salon floor but I could never have pictured such an exciting and credible client roster. Being born and raised in Barnsley keeps me grounded and my favourite way to celebrate is a good chat with my nan, who’s still in Barnsley, on the phone.”
