Bode Wicklander
Throughout my life, I've thrived on connecting with people, both new and old. Being a barber allows me to do this daily while providing a service that brings genuine happiness to my clients. I'm dedicated to constantly refining my skills and honing my craft as a barber to give my clients top-quality results.
Larry Walker
From a young age, I found deep satisfaction in the artistry and transformations in haircut videos. In my junior year of high school, I picked up clippers for the first time and quickly fell in love with the craft. My passion drives me to constantly refine my skills, tailoring hairstyles to suit each individual and boosting their confidence.
I cherish the connections I make with clients, enjoying meaningful conversations and witnessing their milestones. For me, cutting hair is about being part of their lives and contributing to their stories. Through it all, I lean on God, striving to keep my faith at the center of my life.
Austin Arreola
As a young child I started creating and experimenting with anything and everything in my life. Even at that time, there was always a push-pull effect of good enough or excellent. Striving for perfection is a never-ending battle, but it is one of the greatest battles I'll ever face and one that grows and shapes me daily. With every haircut representing a blank canvas, I have the opportunity to create and strive for excellence. It's simply what I love to do. And where I fall short in my creating, I lean on the Creator.
