BARBER EXPO - THEE BE JUDGED

THESE BE JUDGES

EL JUDGE SUPREMO - DAN DIXON

I am passionate about our industry and have had many great career highlights on ‘the tools’. I have competed and won numerous regional and state awards for hairdressing and have represented American Crew, EVO and Kevin Murphy on stage and in salon. My work has been featured in GQ, Men’s Health, FHM, VOGUE & Inked Mag. I still own a business, contribute to The Cutthroat Journal and enjoy offering my time to mentor business owners.”

I'll be looking for Showmanship & Attitude, they pay homage to the older ways and I believe they create a difference between a good haircut and a great one. Obvious technique, directional cutting and power moves that show method and thought will

I will be looking for skill, technique, shape and form, suitability, cleanliness, professionalism and attention to detail.

I’ve always loved looking ahead... it’d be cool to see some fashion forward work... pushing the envelope and building really cool shapes. I’ve always been a perfectionist and so for me it’s all about the detail... so i would love to see really cool, crisp finishes especially through the taper if you’re going short and lots of movement and direction with purpose if it’s a longer look. After last year’s amazing work i can’t wait to see what you all bring to the table.

The main thing I’ll be looking for in the barber competition heats is attention to detail & creativity. I think they are a must in today’s modern barbering. The use of many techniques within the one haircut to create a unique style.

I'm looking for a visionary and innovator in technique and style. For me, it's not always about the most outrageous, creative cut. But sometimes more about being disciplined in execution creating something beautiful with a little edge and personality.

Rob Szincsak

I’ll be looking at technique, suitability and styling of the finished look.

Thinking outside the box is my winner… barbering can easily be branded as skin fades and short cropped tops, whereas coming from an American Crew education background, hair is much more and I think celebrating length with shape with the ideas of masculinity is something that’s truly missed when we talk men’s business.
