Our Story

My name is Barbara (Barbie) I graduated in 2003 from State College of Beauty Culture in Wausau, Wisconsin, and in 2022 from Academy of Hair Design for Barbering in Anchorage, Alaska. I’ve always taken an interest in men's haircuts and becoming a master in razor shaves and beard trims. I moved to Kodiak, Alaska, in July 2018 to be closer to my sister and her family. This led me to the love of my life and starting my own family with him and his amazing son. In 2023, he was offered a new job in Bowling Green, Kentucky, so I am very excited to offer my barbering skills in a new area. I love spending time with family and friends and exploring Kentucky’s beautiful country. When I’m not clipping and cutting, I like to do Cross-fit, hike, mountain bike, fish, horseback ride, trail ride, and volunteer in the community.
