Erica

Owner

Hello! I'm Erica, owner of Linden Barbershop. The shop itself has been open since 1961, but I took over in 2020. I have over 10 years of experience in the industry and still passionate about my career. I view my work behind the chair more than just a haircut. I consider my clients an extension of family . When I'm not in the shop I like to spend time at Bible study, relaxing with my husband and kids plus collecting house plants!


I look forward to servicing you!

Bryan

Manager

Hey, I'm Bryan Acosta, a barber at Linden Barbershop with a passion for clean fades, sharp beard lineups, and classic men's scissor cuts. I specialize in styles that are fresh, detailed, and tailored to each client. Whether it's a tight fade or a precision trim, I take pride in delivering consistent, high-quality work every time.


To stay sharp, I regularly take scissor work classes and always look for ways to improve my craft. Outside the shop, I enjoy spending time with my cat and my girlfriend, hanging out with family, collecting Pokémon cards and sneakers, and going to church. Faith and family are a big part of my life, and I try to bring that same positive energy into every haircut.
