Ausharra Knox

Licensed Barber/Owner

I am a native of C-U and I have been a licensed barber for 22 years. I am a well rounded  barber that cuts all textures. I also specialize in beard sculpting and mens facial grooming. One of my most popular services is the “Beard Culture Experience,” which includes full haircut, relaxing hot towel facial steam, and facial message completed with a detailed beard sculpture! 

My wife and I opened Beard Culture Barbershop in 2021. Since we have been open we have had the privilege of winning the Chambana Buy Black Business of the Year award and The News Gazette People’s Choice Award for Best Barbershop and have been featured in many articles! We also had the privilege of being chosen to cut the original members of the iconic band, Earth Wind & Fire! Our barbershop also includes an art gallery with more than 40 pieces exhibited from local artists. We are a full service barbershop that offers a professional and family friendly environment.
