Our Story
Passion, dedication, and a commitment to excellence
Elijah & Kaleb
Two brothers, one vision - transforming barbering through passion and partnership
Every great business begins with a story of passion meeting opportunity. For the brothers, founders of House of Barbers, their journeys to barbering took different paths but led to the same destination - a shared vision for exceptional service and creative excellence.
Kaleb's Background
Kaleb's entrepreneurial spirit emerged early during high school, where he began in retail footwear sales, developing the customer service skills that would later define his approach to barbering. After graduating from Eden Prairie High School and spending five years honing his sales expertise, Kaleb sought something more - creative autonomy and the ability to make a direct impact on people's confidence and style.
This desire for creative freedom led him to barber school, where he discovered his true calling. Over the past eight years, Kaleb has built extensive expertise in the barbering industry, including three years as manager and co-owner, mastering not just the craft but the business of barbering.
Elijah's Background
For younger brother Elijah, the journey began with an unexpected basketball injury during his sophomore year at Champlin Park High School. What seemed like a setback became the catalyst for discovering his true calling. Recognizing his brother's potential, Kaleb gave Elijah his first set of clippers - a gesture that would change both their lives.
What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion. By his senior year, Elijah's talent and dedication led him to pursue barber school and high school simultaneously. At just 18, he made history as the youngest barber student in Minnesota to graduate from barber school.
United Vision
When Elijah earned his barbering license, the brothers saw an opportunity to combine their complementary strengths. Kaleb's business acumen and years of industry experience paired perfectly with Elijah's fresh perspective and innovative techniques. Together, they established House of Barbers - a business that embodies their shared commitment to exceptional service, creative excellence, and community impact.
Every game is different, you know, every haircut's different. I want to give people the opportunity that I was given.
Eight years in this industry taught me that barbering is more than just cutting hair - it's about building confidence, creating connections, and turning our craft into a legacy.
