The Big Barber Bash was established to bring barbering philosophy and education to emerging and experienced Australian barbers unlike other events.
The Bash allows barbers to have a hands-on experience with their peers, while learning from industry leaders in a relaxed environment.
Live demonstrations, career advice, barber and stylist competitions in a nightclub vibe networking.
The Founder of The Big Barber Bash is Carmelo Francese of Inspire Brands.
The best thing about being entrepreneurial is that the best ideas are ones that have been developed by someone else. We scoured the world to look at barbering education and industry events and have put the best of what the world has to offer into The Big Barber Bash. As a business owner, I am invested in the future of barbering through providing quality products to the industry, therefore it stands to reason that I want to see the industry flourish now, and into the future. 2026 will be the first year that we launch The Big Barber Bash in three Australian cities. We are sure that moving forward future years will see it come to other Australian, and possibly New Zealand, cities. In the meantime, see you in April in either Brisbane, Melbourne or Perth.
