CATHERINE GRAY

Fourth generation barber Catherine Gray is an alum of the Tri-City Barber College where she studied under Steve Kennedy just as her mother before her. After graduating in 2016, she joined the team at Beards and Beers.

Catherine’s love for her grandfather’s barbershop, “The Razor’s Edge,” the atmosphere, and the craft lead her to pursue a career as a barber. “My papaw Billy gave me my first hair-cut at his shop,” she recalled. “We’d always go up to the barbershop to see him, and I remember eating peanuts and drinking coke while I watched him cut hair.”

“I love getting to meet all the different people and doing hair is fun and exciting,” she notes. “It’s in my blood,” Catherine said of joining her great grandfather, grandfather, mother, and aunt behind the barber’s chair.
