Whether you attended the wild and raucous HVA3 party, or cheered for your favorite nominees from your hometown, the collective anticipation that surrounds this annual event has come to a crescendo – and has reached it’s final conclusion.
Over the weekend, the Hairbrained community came together in New York City to honor the craft hairdressing movement, and the heart-filled short films, which represent the spirit of the growing HB community. Ranging in tone from informative to avant-garde, these videos are always long on creativity, and never short on inspiration. Acting as a catalyst for change within our community, these films are indicative of a new movement. A movement that resists stagnation, bucks the status quo – and refuses to take no for an answer.
This year’s winners are:
Categories:
- Behind the Scenes: The Nomad Barber of London, UK
- Coaching: Adam Federico for Federico Advanced, Sacramento, CA
- Even Further: Douglas McCoy of Spokane, Washington

But you might be wondering, what now? Well, HB community members, now is the time to act! Whether you’re a new or returning talent, have never created a film or have created dozens, we encourage you to upload your videos to Hairbrained. Your fresh and unique perspective could help to uplift your craft-hairdressing community – and it could help you to win an HVA4!
