Why We Co-Host

We love this event. It’s a chance to give back. Our students and grads see top talent up close. It helps them meet the wider barber world.

How an Expo Helps Your Business

An expo is a great tool for growth. Here’s how it can help:

  • Learn fast. Watch live classes, cuts and new styles. Take these skills back to work.
  • Meet other barbers. Make ties that lead to new clients or jobs.
  • Try new gear. Test new tools before you buy them.
  • Build your name. Enter a contest. Get seen by more people.
  • Get inspired. New ideas can spark fresh work.

What Students See

Our students learn a lot at the expo. They see all the paths open to a barber:

  • Work at a busy shop and meet shop owners
  • Own a shop one day, get inspired
  • Work with top brands
  • Teach or judge contests
  • Build a following online
