KEEPING IT BARBER STRONG

The Premiere Orlando tradeshow this year gave barbers the opportunity to strengthen their skills with a variety of educational classes, exhibiting brands, hands-on workshops, and competitions – plus, an exclusive BARBER STAGE. This was an incredible opportunity for barbers to grow their personal brand and gain valuable knowledge.

Barber Strong stood, well, strong on the exhibitor’s floor with their Barber Strong Stage, showcasing the very best apparel and cutting skills in the game, from barber jackets to capes, with some of their best barbers hitting the education stages. Including Jovanni Rosado (@jrthebarberx_), the iconic Steven Rivera (@ canesbarber), the masterful C the Barber (@ cycStylz), and NFL barber Sway Styles (@ swaystylez_). Master barbers Wes Lane (@ wesslanehaircuts) and Ace Barber (@acebarber_) held some top-quality demos too.

We personally want to say a massive THANK YOU to the Barber Strong team for helping us bring together the EVO booth and media zone this year. We had a top-level collection of their best capes and apparel behind us in our interview zone.

Support from this performance-focused brand showed that we’re legit and are as committed to creating quality content as Barber Strong are committed to designing the best capes in the game. They also made the booth look sick as hell too. We showed some of the Barber Strong capes, polo shirts, and barber jackets and vests to our

friend DG Cuts (@dgcuts) on camera. She’s an artist with STMNT and BaBylissPRO and told us what she thinks of the Barber Strong Barber Jacket and Barber Strong Shield Collection Cape. The cape: “I love the length, the light weight, and the elasticated neck. Capes can be super heavy and feel like blankets on my clients, so this is refreshing. The hair repellent technology is perfect because I hate hair sticking to everything – it’s messy and unhygienic. So these are a dream come true,” she laughed.

The jacket: “I like how there’s pockets on the bottom and I think the collar is cool. I like the longer length – super comfy. The design is just cool. Sometimes barbers will keep combs etc in their pockets as they work, which gets hair in their clothes. Any barber jacket I bought just gets gross. However, this zip I see on the bottom of the Barber Strong Barber Jacket allows you to easily remove hair that comes off of combs when you put them in your pockets as you work – that’s real innovation.”

Trevor Moots (@tailorfade) told us what he thinks of Barber Strong's The Barber Vest: "The difficulty as barbers is that we want to look good, but we do get covered in hair. Half the time, I don't want to wear my nice clothes, but with The Barber Vest and the The Barber Polo too, I can still look good and protect me from the mess. So, I'm still able to wear my nicer stuff every day, feeling good, performing well, protecting my clothes, and still be comfortable."
