Licensed barbers, cosmetologists and students competed in a variety of events sponsored by Andis Company, the leading manufacturer of handheld tools to cut, trim and style hair, during the Premiere Orlando International Beauty Event. The five competitions included Fantastic Fades (professional event and student event), Limit-Free Style (professional event and student event) and Lioness (women-only competition). The competitions challenged contestants to showcase their finest fades and creative visions. As part of the guidelines, contestants we tasked with removing at least ½ inch of hair, using their Andis tool package, and complete their haircut during the 40-minute time frame.
The top winners were awarded monetary prizes based on technique, originality, style and tool usage for a share of $3,300 in cash prizes. “We were extremely impressed with the caliber of talent that joined us across the five Premiere Orlando International Beauty Event competitions to showcase the art of men’s grooming,” said Jessica Zeinstra, Global Education Manager at Andis. “In our third year, we were even more excited to host our first women-only competition, Lioness, that drew some of the fiercest female barbers and cosmetologists from
around the country.”
The winners of the Fantastic Fade professional division included: Miguel Vega (@miguelshulus), Robert Smith (@wardellthebarber) and Joel Edwards (@joel.the.alabama.barber), and the student division included: Marcos Delgado (@marc_delgado_), Lisandro Zapata (@_lisandro.z) and Frederick Dublin.
The Limit-Free Style competition professional division winners included: Lindon West (@moosekutz), Jashley Green (@kokodabarber) and Ricardo Chavez (@revampricky).

The first ever Lioness competition included: Joenia Guerrero (@_royalvisions_), Janali Montaivo (@sky_queenofcutz) and Gabriella Garcia (@lil_miss.gabby).
Professional winners received $400, while the second and third place finishers received $300 and $200, respectively. Student winners received $125, while the second and third place finishers received $100 and $75, respectively.
