T-Jos Achieves A 154-hour Guinness World Record

Nigerian barber Joshua Aiyeniro, widely known as T-Jos, has officially completed the Guinness World Records attempt for the longest premium haircuts marathon, reaching an outstanding duration of 154 hours.

The marathon, which spanned seven days, commenced at 10 pm on June 10, 2025, at the Velodrome of the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja and concluded exactly at 10 pm on Wednesday night.

T-Jos was actively engaged in the challenge for 168 hours, with 14 hours subtracted as rest time, in line with Guinness World Records guidelines that permit one hour of rest for every 12 hours of work.

According to a statement released by Alhaji Gambo Jagindi, head of media and publicity for the planning committee, the extraordinary accomplishment reflects T-Jos’s unwavering commitment, enthusiasm, and determination.

The event attracted high-profile attendees, including the Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who was present earlier at the venue to officially launch the countdown to the closing ceremony.

The statement also noted that the governor’s attendance, alongside other distinguished guests, highlighted the importance of T-Jos’s success and its role in encouraging vocational skills and motivating young people.

“T-Jos’s achievement is not only a personal triumph but also a source of inspiration for many. We are proud to have supported him on this journey, and we look forward to seeing the impact his achievement will have on the nation’s youth,” the governor said.

“T-Jos’s record-breaking attempt has captivated audiences worldwide, showcasing the art of barbering and inspiring many.

We congratulate T-Jos on this incredible feat and wish him continued success in his future endeavors,” he added.
