Book nowWelcome to Good Vibes Barbershop! I’m Sarah, the leading lady behind the shop, wife to an incredible husband, and proud mom to some pretty cool kids.
Born and raised right here in New Orleans, my passion for this craft started early. I attended Moler Beauty School at 17, but truth be told, my mom always knew I’d end up as a hairstylist or an artist. As a kid, I was either cutting my younger sister's hair or drawing on absolutely anything I could find. Today, I’m proud to say I’ve been a licensed hairdresser and barber for 22 years
In February 2022, a lifelong dream came true when I opened my own shop in the city I love so deeply. I am incredibly grateful to the loyal clients who have supported me throughout this journey, following me across town until I finally established this space. To everyone who has ever sat in my chair and shared a story or a laugh—thank you. You’ve truly given me as much as I’ve given you over the years. ⚜️❤️

Book nowAs a dedicated barber serving the vibrant New Orleans community for the past three years, I take pride in crafting styles that reflect my clients' unique personalities. Trained at Delgado Community College, I've honed my skills to provide quality cuts and a welcoming atmosphere.
Beyond the barbershop, I am committed to giving back. I volunteer with the St. Baldrick's Foundation, raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. Additionally, I'm involved with Gin & Juice and Zony Mash, where I contribute my expertise to support local events and initiatives that enrich our community and celebrate the spirit of New Orleans.
Join me for a haircut and a conversation—look forward to meeting you!

Book nowHailing from a small town in Mississippi, not too far but far enough, I bring you southern charm, wit, professionalism, and a smidge of class with every haircut. Recently moved to the Big Easy to fulfill the dream of being a barber. I've always had an eye for art, and through my years, cutting men's hair became an outlet for that expression. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and creating space for them to be comfortable. But l'd have to say the best part of this profession is getting the opportunity to brighten a client's outlook of themselves. Cause when you feel good, you look good. You can catch me running laps around Audubon park most days and I like to spend my night's experiencing the best New Orleans has to offer.

Book nowI am a trained cosmetologist with a passion for barbering. As a teenager, I was coloring and cutting my own hair and my friends and family’s. I am a strong believer in expressing your style and personality with a bit of flair! I professionally trained at John Jay Beauty College. I love doing undercuts, fades, beards, and anything to help my clients feel more at home in their body. Born and raised in New Orleans, I know this city is special, It’s the perfect place to be who you are without reservation. I hope to be a small part of that journey with all of my clients! In my free time, I love getting creative with crafts, tending to my garden, feeding ducks, aquascaping, cooking new recipes, and spending time with my cats.
