Join us in welcoming the newest business in the building!!!

Hi, babes!!

We have a lot of new friends on the page so I wanted to re-introduce myself ❤️

Hi, I’m Kassie. Owner, operator, esthetician, PMU master artist, the whole 9 at SBK. I’m married to the love of my life, Evan and have the sweetest blue-eyed twins you’d ever lay eyes on. This is how you’ll typically find me — being silly and laughing about all I can!
Life is short… we all die anyway!

I’m a licensed esthetician since 2022, and PMU artist since 2019. The beauty industry is my passion and I love making all my ladies feel better about themselves.
I am:
2x certified in microblading
1x certified in powder brow
1x certified in powder brow master class
1x certified in nano brow
1x certified in lip blush
1x certified in lip blush master class
2x certified in lash extensions
1x certified in UV lash extensions
And I just keep adding!

I recently relocated to 418 Eighth Street, Suite D, Huntington, WV 25701 and it feels like home ❤️

My new booking link is: skinbyklb.square.site and I would love to have you in my chair‼️

Exciting day!! Congratulations to 8th Street Barber Shop on your opening day, welcome to the building!! Everyone, stop by and check out the new space, it looks amazing!

We are excited to wrap up 2024 and look ahead to 2025! There have been many amazing businesses in the mix in both The Progress Building and the 6th Avenue building, so we wanted to take a moment to recognize everything that has happened this year. Although 2024 brought the closing of much-loved beverage store Apex Beverage Company, it brought the opening of The Jewel, Side Street Creative, Big Maudlin Duck, Iron Hand Barbers (at 930 6th Avenue), and most recently 8th Street Barber Shop! We hosted pop ups with Abbey Shae Bakes, Book Style Specialist, and Fresh Cut Kenova , participated in the Downtown Huntington Art Walk and provided the venue for an incredible event for the West Virginia Women's Alliance. We are incredibly excited to be able to provide space for these innovative, creative businesses and to contribute to the vitality and excitement happening in Downtown Huntington. We do have some space available on our first floor, so please reach out if you have an idea you'd like to make a reality!! Happy Holidays!!

We are incredibly excited to announce 📣 8th Street Barber Shop 📣 will be moving into Suite B in December!! Our goal in developing The Progress Building has always been to support amazing businesses and hook them up with space that makes them look like the rock stars that they are ✨ These guys are the perfect fit for the space!! Y’all please join us in welcoming them to the building!!!

This month marks 8 years since the inception of 8th Street Barbershop. It was sudden. I was 23, new to the Huntington area, and I didn’t know much at all about running a business—licenses, taxes, equipment; I learned it all through Google searches and advice from clients, friends, and family who were willing to share what they knew.

What I did know was people. I’ve always believed in treating others the way I’d want to be treated, with kindness and understanding—and that mindset has carried me this far.

Today, we have an incredible team of barbers who’ve joined us over the years, many of them who came fresh out of school, ready to grow their skills and build a clientele. I’m proud of the atmosphere we’ve created, the services we offer, and the strong client relationships we’ve built through trust and community.

So, I’m excited to share that 8th Street Barbershop is moving—just half a block down the street! We’re creating a new space that reflects everything we’ve built over the last 8 years. Our whole team--Nate, Triston, Seth, and Arrick—will be coming with us, and in December, we’ll be opening in the Progress Building, Suite B, with a fresh look in a modernized space. This new space lets us serve an even broader range of clients. It’s completely ADA accessible (bathrooms included!), near public parking, and closer to downtown. You can actually see the building from our current shop, so we’re not going far. And importantly, we get to keep the name—it’ll still be 8th Street Barbershop.

This move wouldn’t be possible without our clients’ continued support and trust. We are so stoked to show you and post sneak peeks over this next month. Please bear with us as we make this transition. We’re doing everything to keep it smooth, and we’d be so grateful if you’d help spread the word. Keep an eye out for a save-the-date—we want you to come celebrate with us.

If you’ve visited the shop at any point over the past 8 years, we want to thank you for making all of this possible for us.
