LAUREN
BARBER, MEN’S HAIR STYLIST & SHOP MANAGER
Lauren entered the beauty industry at 16 years old working in salons as a receptionist, going on to get both her cosmetology and barber licenses. In the 5 years she's been behind the chair, she's trained at the Old School Barber Academy in the Netherlands, and even ran her own independent barbering business in North Carolina. She is passionate about using Reuzel products to enhance and finish the haircuts and styles she creates. Lauren promises to have everyone who sits in her chair looking and feeling their absolute best.
Lauren has been recently promoted to Shop Manager and is being mentored by a nationally recognized barbershop consultant that counts Reuzel and American Crew among his executive-level clients.
When she’s not at the shop, you can find Lauren either hiking or skiing, at a concert, or finding the best bars and restaurants around town.
JADE
BARBER & MEN’S HAIR STYLIST
Jade has been working in the hair industry since 2016, as a licensed cosmetologist and a proud member of the queer community. Her goal is to ensure that every client who sits in her chair feels comfortable, happy, and well-informed about their hair.
While Jade excels at cutting all hair types and textures, her true passion lies in creating "edgier" haircuts, including mullets, pixie cuts, and mohawks. She is also open to helping clients make significant changes, whether that means opting for a buzz cut after years of longer hair or assisting in the process of growing their hair past shoulder length.
Regardless of the service requested, Jade always strives to provide a thorough consultation to ensure that clients leave the salon feeling confident and rejuvenated
JAKE
BARBER
Meet Jake Waffles — your local hair goblin and chaos gremlin with scissors.
They/he | Non-binary | Hair sorcerer with a love for the bold and bizarre (13+ years)
Jake’s journey into the world of hair began like all the best origin stories: with dramatic side bangs, impulsive DIY cuts, and an abundance of heart. While they didn’t always know what career path to follow, they always knew they loved to create. From pottery and painting to drama, D&D, flute, and fantasy wigs — if it sparked the imagination, Jake was all in.
Eventually, that creative chaos found its home in hair.
Jake is fueled by all things funky, fresh, and delightfully freaky. Whether it's anime-inspired cuts or K-pop styles, they’re obsessed with pushing creative boundaries. But more than anything, Jake is passionate about helping people feel truly like themselves — whether through a familiar cut, a bold transformation, or simply providing a safe space to just exist and breathe.
To Jake, hair is pure magic: it’s armor, art, rebellion, and revelation rolled into one. Life’s too short for hair that doesn’t make you feel like you.
Come hang out, share your lore, get weird, or enjoy the calm — Jake’s got you either way.
JOSIE
BARBER
Josie’s journey into barbering began at just six years old, when she gave her sister her very first short haircut—and she hasn’t put the clippers down since. With more than 24 years of experience behind the chair, Josie brings precision, personality, and a deep respect for the craft to every cut.
Based in Denver, she carries with her a spirit that leans West, always drawn to the energy and rhythm of the Pacific. Her chair is a place where sharp fades meet real conversation, and where every client feels both seen and styled with intention.
Outside of the shop, Josie surrounds herself with good company: her loyal pit bulls, the timeless sound of Wu-Tang Clan, and a community of people who appreciate authenticity as much as they appreciate a clean, precise cut. For Josie, barbering isn’t just a career—it’s a calling, a way of life, and an art form she continues to honor every single day.
