Owner/ Senior Barber
-
I grew up in Southern California and came to Alabama for college at UNA where I earned my bachelors degree in finance. During my time in Florence, I started cutting hair for friends and soon began training and working for Greasy Hands Barbershop.
After a short stint at GH in Tuscaloosa, I moved to Birmingham and cut hair at another barbershop in town until I could make this dream called Zephyr Barber a reality.
I am partnered with Austin Shirey, the Owner of Greasy Hands and we have created Zephyr Barber to be a modern twist to classic barbering. At Zephyr, we are passionate about growing our skillset and offering versatility from behind the chair. Our focus is to give our clients a haircut that is tailored to them as individuals.
No matter who you are or what your background is, my goal is for you to feel welcome and seen here at Zephyr.
Also Go Chargers, Go Padres, and Roll Tide.

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.
