The Name Behind the Shop
About Pat
The story behind the name.
"Long before this shop had a location, a chair, or a name, Pat was one of its biggest supporters."
Pat's Parlor & Barber Co. is named after my grandmother, Patsy — a talented cosmetologist, creative soul, and one of the most influential people in my life.
Pat was the kind of person who always had something in her hands: a styling brush, a cup of black coffee, or a conversation worth having. She built her life around hard work, creativity, and taking care of people — values that continue to shape how I approach this craft every day.
We talked nearly every day about everything and nothing. She encouraged me to pursue what I loved, believed in my abilities before I believed in them myself, and celebrated every step of my journey. Long before this shop had a location, a chair, or a name, Pat was one of its biggest supporters.
When she passed away in January 2025 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, I knew I wanted her legacy to live on in a meaningful way. Naming this shop after her felt right. It's a reminder of where I came from, the people who shaped me, and the values I bring to every client who walks through the door.
More than a barbershop.
Pat's Parlor & Barber Co. is a tribute to family, craftsmanship, creativity, and the belief that great work starts with genuine connection.
