Steel City Beards & Shears, Bethlehem

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Owner, Kristin has 20 years of experience in barbering, styling, wig trimming, etc.. Our shop is out to break the mold and wants to cater to your entire family. Kristin has worked in New York City, Princeton, NJ and Philadelphia. She is comfortable cutting any ethnicity, any age and any sex.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Ever since my first job out of high school working in a masculine barbershop in Trenton, NJ I knew I wanted my own shop! My experience has helped me grow to the amazing artist I am today when it comes to hair. Recently sold a thriving, award winning shop we owned outside of Philadelphia.

What do you love most about your job?
Outside of cutting hair, I love making new friends. I love to talk and truly get to know people that walk through our door. I've met many amazing people just by cutting their hair. I enjoy the positive feedback when I give a customer their best haircut ever! I can't see myself doing anything else.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
Winning two awards in our first year of owning our previous shop. Won Delco Times 2016, Yelp awards in 2015 & 2016. Close second is the hundreds of reviews left for me, and the pictures from parents showing their children after a fresh new haircut. Feels as though in a small way I am part of them!
