Establish Your Brand & Name.

More than a cut — it’s your calling card. The Honest Barber Expo is where emerging barbers go from unknown to unforgettable. We offer the platform, the spotlight, and the audience — you bring the craft. Step into the ring, show your work, and leave with recognition that lasts beyond the weekend.

There's A Problem With Our Industry:

Nepotism.

Clout Chasers.

Durham Regions’s first real Honest Barber Expo:

Nepotism Free.

Challenge your craft. Earn respect through skill, not connections. At Honest Barber Expo, every contestant enters on equal footing — no favorites, no politics. Just raw talent and community spirit.

Politics Free.

We cut through the noise. No favoritism, no behind-the-scenes agendas — just pure talent and passion for the craft. This expo is where barbers earn their spotlight through skill and hustle, not politics. Everyone gets the same shot.

Meet The Pro

Judges

Most Judges you come across have a following of friends who vote for people who clearly lost.
We’re careful who we picked as Judges.
