Eight-year-old kid barber J. D. takes his talent to an Atlanta hair show in this illustrated chapter-book series. At only eight years old, J. D. the Kid Barber has already won a barber battle and appeared on local TV. Now he' s the youngest barber to be invited to the Beauty Brothers Hair Expo in Atlanta! J. D. gets the VIP treatment-he takes his first flight, rides in a limo for the first time, and gets gifts from the show' s sponsors. At the show, there are hair classes to take, product samples to try, and some of J. D. ' s favorite hair influencers to meet. And, of course, there' s his own demo alongside kid hairstylist, Isabel Is Incredible. But what J. D. is most excited about is snapping a pic with eleven-year-old rap sensation Li' l Eazy Breezy, which is harder than it sounds! The world of hair and beauty is so much bigger than J. D. could' ve imagined, and he' s ready to step up his game. Check out the other chapter books in the J. D. the Kid Barber series-J. D. and the Great Barber Battle J. D. and the Family Business
