EVENT Purpose

The purpose of the Fredericton Barber Convention is two-fold.

First, as a successful barber shop owner who is passionate about the trade, I want to provide a space for barbers, shop/salon owners and vendors to network, learn and celebrate our industry.

Second, I want to provide a unique opportunity for vendors to engage directly with the general public to help create brand awareness, encourage product trials and direct sales.
