About Barber Expos
Barber expos have a buzz all of their own. Think platform cuts from top educators, fade and design battles, stands piled with clippers, trimmers and grooming products, and a crowd of barbers swapping ideas between sessions.
North America has the busiest scene. Premiere Anaheim opens the year in February, Be+Well New York and the Klutch Barber Expo in Owensboro follow in March, and the CT Barber Expo and Barber Grammys take over Mohegan Sun in May. The HEBS Barber Games come to Secaucus that same month, Toronto Barber Expo brings Hairfest to the city in July, and the Los Angeles Barber Expo usually lands in midsummer. Across the Atlantic, HairCon Manchester runs in June and hair Düsseldorf in April. Australia has Expo4Barbers on the Gold Coast in April, and Latin America has Expobelleza in Medellín in June and Expo Beauty Show Mexico, with its own Expo Barber area, in late October.

Plan your trip
Mapping your barber year
Spring and early summer are packed with barber events in the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia, so many barbers choose one big expo and one battle or awards night. Autumn is quieter but brings shows in Mexico, Atlantic City and London.
Picking the right expo
- To learn: Premiere Orlando, Premiere Anaheim and HairCon Manchester mix main stage cutting with hands on education.
- To battle: the HEBS Barber Games, the Klutch Barber Expo and Battle of the Champions in Alsip put your skills to the test.
- To shop: large trade fairs such as Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna and America's Beauty Show bring the most brands together.
- To be recognised: the CT Barber Grammys and the ANZ Modern Barber Awards celebrate the best in the trade.
Travelling with your kit
If you are flying to a battle or class, check your airline's rules on blades, clippers and batteries before you pack. Book hotels near the venue early for weekend expos, as many barbers travel in groups.
