Any guesses, barbering pros? 

This month is all about Hispanic heritage. Every year, we designate that 30-day span to National Hispanic Heritage Month, a month-long celebration to honor, cherish, and appreciate all the amazing contributions Hispanic, Latin, or Latinx people have brought to the United States. 

It's all about putting the focus back on the people who brought the U.S. so much! We spend this month honoring the cultures, contributions, and traditions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans. All heritages rooted in Latin American countries deserve recognition, and this month (and every month, in our opinion) is all about sharing that appreciation.

So, what are we doing in honor of this epic month? We're sharing the top 5 Hispanic, Latin, or Latinx barbers in the biz right now! Read on, check out their instas, and get ready to get inspired by these talented barbers.
