Our cover stars this month are the team that make up Barber Strong – the booming barber apparel brand.

By giving a much-needed modern update to the traditional barbering uniform; Barber Strong are bringing functional luxury to all barbers.  

Education 

This month, we are also taking a focus on education. It’s what makes this industry go round, right? Allison Cuts agrees. We sat down with the L3VEL3 Ambassador to talk all things education, particularly why it is important to make the most of your time in education. We cover some amazing events, including the Norcal Barber Expo and the Sharpfade Mastermind weekend, which was led by our columnist, Byrd Mena. Kate Tuttles-Owens and her amazing work with Sensory Safe are also featured. With words from Gamma+ and Stylecraft ambassador, Victorino; Hair in Motion pioneer, Charles Gray; and our columnist, Angie Perino – school is IN for summer!
