Last Friday a grand opening was held for a fresh business entity in its bustling downtown. This new establishment holds three distinct businesses under one roof.
Stepping into the venue, one is greeted by the scissor savvy duo, Jalen Hayes and Steven Serious, each helming their respective barbering ventures. Hayes, the force behind FadezbyJ, has been sculpting stylish haircuts in Winslow since 2020. His finesse with the clippers now harmonizes with the seasoned expertise of Steven Serious from 1seriouscut, together forming a formidable hair-styling team ready to redefine grooming standards in town.
Adjacent to the buzzing barber chairs, Slowtown Resells, orchestrated by Joseph Romero, unveils a treasure trove of luxury apparel and accessories. Romero, with a knack for procuring rare and high-end items, specializes in the resale of luxury footwear, apparel, and accessories. His collection boasts high end brands like Jordans, Nike, and Yeezys, promising a haven for fashion aficionados seeking that elusive piece to complete their distinct ensemble.
Beyond the professional camaraderie, Hayes embodies a philanthropic ethos, perpetually contributing to the community. His annual back-to-school initiative, offering complimentary haircuts to children, has become a cherished tradition, ensuring young minds step into their academic journey with confidence. His benevolent gestures extend to numerous local events where his free haircut services and school supply donations have real impact on the community.
While Serious may be new to Winslow’s professional grooming circle, his 15-year illustrious career, enriched by stints in barber shops across Salt Lake City and Phoenix, speaks volumes. His transition to entrepreneurship is a testament to his seasoned skills and a forward leap towards fostering a unique barbering culture in Winslow.
Romero, albeit relatively new in the high-end resale industry with two years under his belt, showcases a discerning eye for rare finds. His aspiration to carve a niche in the luxury apparel scene, coupled with his bespoke services in tracking down specific sartorial requests, holds promise for a vibrant shopping experience.
The inaugural ribbon was snipped amidst cheers and applause by Bob Hall and Angela Moser from the Winslow Chamber of Commerce, and a crowd of enthusiastic community members and prospective customers who were queued to explore the trio of businesses. This new venture not only amplifies the commercial vibrancy of Winslow and gives the downtown another local business to support.
