The International Barber Awards are more than just a competition – they are a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity, and the enduring passion for barbering. Since our debut in 2015, we have grown into Europe’s most prestigious event for barbers, uniting the finest talents from across the continent in a shared pursuit of excellence.
What began as a local competition in Nuremberg has evolved into an international platform that showcases the artistry, innovation, and dedication of barbers at every level. Our journey takes participants from online qualification rounds, through the exciting SHAVE-OFF Tour in barbershops across Europe, to the iconic Grand Finale held at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.
Our mission is clear: to elevate barbering as an art form, foster a strong sense of community, and inspire the next generation of barbers to push boundaries. Through workshops, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities, the International Barber Awards create a space where tradition meets innovation and where ideas are exchanged freely among professionals.
Each year, we celebrate not only the skills and talents of barbers but also the heart and passion that define this industry. Whether you’re here to compete, learn, or connect, the International Barber Awards are your stage to shine and your opportunity to be part of a legacy that honors the past while shaping the future.
Welcome to the International Barber Awards – where legends are born, and the craft of barbering is celebrated like never before.
