Barney Martin is a name synonymous with hairdressing excellence. Over the past 18 years Barney has become an internationally known stylist with a reputation for producing beautiful hair and individual styles. Europe or Australia, celebrity or girl next door, Barney uses his skills and talent to make a lasting impression. Over the past few years Barney has worked with iconic hairdresser and Global Pantene ambassador Sam McKnight in Europe for London and Milan Fashion Weeks. In London, Barney worked as part of the team responsible for the Armani show which had a cast of 95 models. In Milan, the shows included Etro, Byblos, Blumarine, Anna Molinari and D Squared. Whilst in London, Barney worked on a five day Mario Testino shoot for British Vogue, titled ‘Best of British’. He also worked with Sam on a French Vogue shoot with photographer Nick Knight.

Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Oyster, Cleo, New Woman, NW, WHO weekly, Australian Style, The Sydney Morning Herald, Russh, Channel V, Voyeur magazine, Sunday Magazine the Daily and Sunday Telegraph.
