EXPO4BARBERS is returning to the Gold Coast in 2025, taking place at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre from May 3 to 5 as Australia’s premier men’s hair weekend. The event will again bring together global educators, industry leaders and talented innovators for an important weekend of education, innovations and networking.
You can expect an event that’s bigger and better than ever, with over 50 vendors and three frenetic days of programming tending to thousands of barbers and hair professionals from across Australia and New Zealand. The event is proudly sponsored by Gamma, BaBylissPRO, and Level 3.
In the realm of competition, May 3 looms as the illustrious Barber Battle, where barbers will compete in a dynamic, edgy setting to claim over $10,000 in prizes. This is where skill meets showmanship, and it’s an unmissable start as either a competitor or spectator.
Over May 4 and 5, you can experience two days of education, product demonstrations, hands-on workshops and exclusive access to industry brands and tools. Respected industry voices will present, including Josh Lamonaca, Co-founder of MENSPIRE, Luca Perillo, Creative Director of MENSPIRE Napoli, Josh O.P, Co-owner of OP45 and creator of the D.F.S Formula™️ and Mr Official, who influences the global barbering scene with creative cuts and style. These national and international voices all in one barbering epicentre will inspire you all weekend long.
Finishing this bona fide weekend of men’s hair, the ANZ Modern Barber Awards, hosted at The Glasshouse at The Island, Surfers Paradise, have officially partnered with EXPO4BARBERS and brought their date forward, honouring the very best in men’s products, business, education and editorial. A gala event preceded by welcome festivities and followed by an after party will be the true celebration the barber industry deserves on the night of May 5.
You can choose from General Admission tickets or purchase the full VIP experience, which includes exclusive stage access, swag bags and F&B vouchers to fully maximise this barbering weekend.
We’ll see you there!
