Hair Wars was started in Detroit in 1991 by David Humphries (a.k.a. Hump the Grinder) as a hair show for black people. Humphries was a DJ and started to organize a hair show to add a show to his sessions. The event began touring nationally in 1994 and has a circuit of about ten cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami and New York City.
“Hair Wars The Supreme Salon Tour” Top SALONS compete down the RUNWAY for the title “Supreme Salon” in a THEMED runway show that is judged and awarded. This show produced by Windy City Media’s entertainment director, Benjamin Moline and marketing director, Dan Baron. Hosted by celebrity hair stylist Ben Mollin, from the hit BRAVO TV show “Shear Genius”. The top three salons in each city will move on to a National Finals that are held in Las Vegas.
The show was halted during the covid outbreak and returned in 2022.
