UNITED BARBERS CLUBABOUT US
Rooted in culture. Driven by purpose.
Timmel Pittman & Lonnie Horne III
United Barbers Club is rooted in barber culture, built on professional relationships, and driven by a commitment to education, events, and community service.
Founded by Timmel Pittman and Lonnie Horne III, two master barbers and independent barbershop owners, United Barbers Club brings together industry experience, entrepreneurial insight, and a shared passion for advancing the barber and beauty professions.
Together, these industry veterans have inspired audiences at barber colleges and beauty institutions across multiple cities through their educational workshops, including Launch Your Success, Definition of a Hair Professional, and Booked & Paid.
Their workshops emphasize professional development, business growth, confidence, and the mindset necessary to build a successful career in the industry.
Beyond education, Timmel and Lonnie have hosted numerous successful events, including barber battles, hair jams, and financial education workshops. These experiences are designed to strengthen relationships among professionals, develop technical skills, build confidence, and create meaningful memories throughout the barber and beauty community.
Their commitment extends well beyond the industry itself.
Through United Barbers Club’s annual Heat the Streets initiative, the organization mobilizes barbers, beauty professionals, local businesses, and volunteers to collect and distribute essential items of warmth to individuals experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.
Community service remains a central part of the organization’s mission.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when government restrictions forced many barbershops and salons to suspend operations, Timmel and Lonnie began producing a weekly Instagram Livecast.
Their purpose was simple: keep hair professionals informed, connected, encouraged, and motivated during an unprecedented period of uncertainty.
The conversations addressed real challenges facing the industry and quickly developed a dedicated audience of viewers and supporters.
What began as a virtual conversation evolved into a broader media platform, eventually expanding into live, on-location podcast productions at barber battles, expos, and industry events.
Their interviews have featured everyone from dedicated professionals working behind the scenes to highly recognized celebrity barbers, giving audiences access to valuable stories, industry perspectives, and firsthand experiences.
Today, that evolution continues through the Culture in Motion Podcast, the official media platform of United Barbers Club.
As demand for their appearances, educational workshops, and media services continues to grow, Timmel and Lonnie remain committed to maintaining genuine relationships, approaching opportunities with humility, and contributing positively to the profession.
Their passion, relatability, and collaborative approach have led to repeat invitations from educational institutions, event organizers, and industry partners.
Through education, media, events, and community service, United Barbers Club continues to create opportunities for connection, conversation, and professional growth.
Their mission remains clear: to keep the Culture in Motion.
