Zephyr means “a gentle breeze from the west,” a nod to my West Coast roots and the kind of atmosphere I wanted to create here: relaxed, thoughtful, and unpretentious. A place that feels calm when you walk in and leaves you feeling better when you walk out.

No matter who you are or where you come from, my goal is for you to feel welcome and seen at Zephyr.

Kellen grew up in Southern California and came to Alabama for college, earning his degree in finance from the University of North Alabama. While living in Florence, he started cutting hair for friends, which eventually led to formal training and working at Greasy Hands Barbershop.

After a short stint at Greasy Hands in Tuscaloosa, He moved to Birmingham and continued cutting hair while working toward a dream that had taken hold—opening his own shop. That dream became Zephyr Barber.

Easily one of the most skilled barbers around. When people sit in Maria’s chair, they're going to get a true break from their chaotic day, and get a haircut in which no detail is missed. She goes above and beyond in her haircuts and clients rave about it.
