Derek Lynch

His heart and focus was always on mens grooming and decided it was time to place all his efforts into barbering in 2011. “I’m a barber because its special to be a part of peoples lives. It’s cool to set people up for success and make them look their best for the most important events, such as interviews, proposals, and their wedding, A superb haircut can make anyone feel like they can tackle the world, and I love facilitating that feeling for people.”

Christopher Kelly

The allure of a traditional occupation has captivated Chris since his childhood. Growing up in Colorado Springs, CO, that traditional appeal stuck with him, and he was first inspired to cut hair in high school. Acquiring his license shortly thereafter, Chris has been developing his craft professionally for the past 4 years. Experiencing that traditional appeal, he understands his love to be rooted in its rich history, methodical practice, hands on work, and community. A haircut in Chris’s chair isn’t simply about looks. Founded on his traditional passion, he also takes great care to achieve authenticity, relaxation, enjoyment, respect, and an accepting space for wherever you’re at.

C.T. Thomas
Junior Barber

A recent graduate of The Aveda Academy, C.T. has been graduated The Rosemont Academy in tandem with his barbering school.

Chris was a former career brewer at some of your favorite Denver breweries, bringing a formulaic approach to cutting hair & his education. We’ve given him the cheeky nickname “The Prodigy” because of his quick understanding of haircutting theory, and the hard work he’s put into his own development.
