Help Erin & Liz Open Their Dream Barbershop

Hi friends, family, and community -

We’re Erin and Liz, a dual-licensed barber couple with a shared dream: to open our very own barbershop! A space built with love, community, and creativity at its core.

After years of honing our craft and sharing a vision for what a truly welcoming, stylish, and soulful barbershop could be, we’ve been given the opportunity to take a huge step forward.

A local shop owner has offered to sell us her space so that she can focus on her health and give us the opportunity to achieve our dream and make the space our own. This is more than just real estate, it’s the chance to bring our dream to life in a neighborhood we care deeply about. The space has a lot of potential and we want the opportunity to renovate it and make it a place where everyone feels welcome.

We’ve been doing everything we can to make this happen: saving, applying for business loans, and exploring all avenues. Unfortunately, the process hasn’t been kind to us due to all of the requirements to obtain a loan and our lack of experience and history owning our own business. So now, we’re turning to the people who’ve supported us all along: you.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

- Owner’s asking price for the business

- Renovations to create an upgraded modern, inclusive, and comfortable space

- Equipment and supplies to get started strong

- Licensing transfers and startup costs

Why This Means So Much:

This isn’t just about cutting hair. This is about building a legacy. A safe, vibrant space where everyone, regardless of background, hair type, or identity, feels seen, celebrated, and cared for. It’s about creating something that belongs to us and to the community.

We’re not just business partners, we’re life partners with a shared passion and vision and we’re ready to put in the work. We just need a little help getting over the first big hurdle.

How You Can Help:

- Donate what you can, every dollar brings us closer to our goal.

- Share this campaign with your circle.

- Send encouragement, resources, or advice our way.

We’re so grateful for your support, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our future shop for a fresh cut in a welcoming environment.

With love and deep gratitude,

Erin & Liz
