Barbershop/Academy owner and master Barber Jay “Majors” Raposo set out to create a barbering event, uniting barbers and stylists from all over the world in his hometown state of Connecticut.
The CT Barber Expo is now the largest international Barber Competition and Expo in the world, the epicenter of the barbering community and talked about for months on social media. Barbers come from all over to compete in a variety of categories ranging from: Freestyle with Color, Freestyle Without Color, Speed Challenge, Theme Challenge and Self Hair Cutting Challenge. Attendance at last year’s battle was over 10,000 people.
Jay’s talents reach far past barbering. He has shared the lived experiences of his journey to inspire hope and create opportunities for people to learn the many facets of business: products, properties, presence, marketing, sustainability and social media presence necessary to build an empire.
This year is CT Barber Expo 12. This will be held at Mohegan Sun on May 20-22. Three action packed days will feature the Barber Grammy’s, an incredible Barber Battle with several categories, educational classes by the industry’s top barbers and stylists, vendor booths, product demonstrations, platform artists, giveaways, and an after party. CT Barber Expo 2023 will be rock solid, with all of the amazing sponsors helping to make this year’s event better than ever.
Thanks to Jay’s generosity and deep commitment to our cause, TriCircle will have the honor of being present again at this year’s Expo. Click here to learn more about attending. Stop by the TriCircle booth, #608 when you arrive!
