Are you an incredible barber with unique skills?

Showcase your precision, creativity, and mastery at the Fades & Blades Barber Battle at the legendary IBS New York!

The competition is broken into two high-stakes rounds, with 12 barbers competing in each. Bring your A-game because you’ll have just 40 minutes to craft a Total Look that wows the judges and showcases your artistry.

Your Total Look Must Include:

• Wardrobe, Color, Cut, and Style: Bring your vision to life with a cohesive and polished design.
• Tools: Incorporate both scissors and clippers in your cut.
• Color: Pre-color is encouraged, whether you lean toward natural hues or bold vivids.
• Creativity: Use your imagination and skill to create a unique design—no reference materials allowed!
• This is NOT a Fantasy competition and glitter is NOT allowed.

Cocco Pro will provide wireless clippers for all competitors to use in the competition (and you can take the clippers home with you) and  L3VEL3 will provide the products (Aftershave cologne, Shaving gel, Styling powder, Pomade, Matte putty, Hair spray, and Texture salt spray) to be used during the competition.
