Hosted by a local rapper and MC SKYY G, this high-energy event blends music, creativity, and audience interaction while celebrating barbering as both a skilled craft and a cultural tradition. Featured barbers include Tony Holmes of Laced Up Kicks and Cuts (founder) and Anthony Cockrell Jr. of House of Fades Barbershop.
