FRASER FORSEY MAKES INTERNATIONAL DEBUT

On May 6th 2024, in Connecticut USA, Fraser Forsey, the renowned barber behind Expo4Barbers, made his international debut for BaBylissPRO Australia at the Connecticut (CT) Barber Expo 2024. Joined by fellow BaBylissPRO Barberology G.O.A.T Ambassadors, Fraser captivated the audience with his expertise in freehand cutting techniques.

CT Barber Expo is a vibrant celebration of the barbering industry, bringing together professionals and enthusiasts from around the world. Hosted in Connecticut, USA, this annual event serves as a melting pot of creativity, innovation, and camaraderie within the barbering community. With over 500 vendors showcasing the latest trends, products, and techniques, attendees are immersed in a dynamic atmosphere of learning and networking.

With a passion for barbering cultivated since the age of 13, Fraser Forsey has emerged as a leading figure in the industry. As the lead educator for BaBylissPRO Australia, creator of 4Barbers, and the visionary behind EXPO4BARBERS, Fraser’s influence extends far beyond the salon. He advocates for continuous growth within the barbering community, urging his peers to strive for excellence.

The bustling BaBylissPRO Booth served as the epicentre of BaBylissPRO Barberology’s showcase, featuring a stand and stage where Fraser and his colleagues demonstrated their craft throughout the event.

On day one, Sunday, May 5th, Fraser took to the BaBylissPRO stage with Barberology stalwarts Frank Soto and Josh Hawkins showcasing a fade with freehand finishes from start to finish using the newly launched BaByliss PROFXONE tools - one battery, unlimited tools, Fraser shared his unique perspective on barbering and barber education from the point of view of the Australian industry. “It’s a surreal feeling being up on stage with brothers [Frank Soto and Josh Hawkins], doing what I’ve loved for the past 19 years!”, Fraser reflected postdemonstration.

Day two, Monday, May 6th witnessed Fraser’s return to the BaBylissPRO stage for an evening showcase alongside BaByliss PRO Barberology Ambassadors Brandi Lashay and David Connor. Here, Fraser showcased fading and texture techniques, offering yet another glimpse into the unique approach to barbering from Down Under.

A highlight of the evening was Fraser’s surprise collaboration with Josh Hawkins, demonstrating popular enhancement techniques from the US. These techniques are often used to create a sharper, more defined look where the natural hairline may be less dense, or imperfections exist.

Fraser’s commitment to education extends beyond the stage, serving as a beacon for the Australian barbering industry on a global scale. “Thank you to BaBylissPRO Australia and Dateline Imports for our ever-growing partnerships and opportunities!... Thank you to every single amazing human that has had anything to do with the growth of myself, our team, family and network in AU and NZ!”, Fraser said.

This milestone marks just the beginning of Fraser’s journey with BaBylissPRO Australia and Dateline Imports, as they continue to elevate the Australian barbering industry to unprecedented heights.
