The Jax Elite Barber & Beauty Expo was founded in 2020 by Fernando Corps with a vision to bring something big—not just to North Florida, but to the entire country. Since our first show in Jacksonville, FL, the expo has grown year over year, attracting more barbers, stylists, and industry professionals from across the country. For 2025, we’re making this year’s expo even bigger and better—with an expanded venue, new competition categories, bigger prizes, top-tier educators, and elite judges. With the support of our dedicated staff, vendors, and sponsors, we are committed to delivering an unmatched experience for competitors, students, and guests alike.
