My name is Brooke Dolan and I am the brilliant mastermind behind Two Bits Barbershop (with the help of my loving husband Dan!). I have two children, Ryoko and Neo who I raised on my own until I married Dan in 2012. I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with my grandparents in Texas growing up and having my Poppy teach me the value of respect, hard work and what it means to take care of people. My parents instilled in me a strong work ethic and the belief that one is never done learning and that you should always try to be better than you are today. My sister Becky, on the other hand, helped me become the smarty pants that I am today!
I absolutely adore all things vintage, be it cars, knick naks, belt buckles, or clothes. I have a slight hording problem where it comes to antique straight razors thanks to my brother Kyler who taught me how to straight shave before my journey into professional barbering. It is my hope to bring back the true meaning of a barbershop, where conversation, stories, laughter and comradery will no longer seem like a lost art while getting a shave or cut. I want people to walk into my shop and feel so at home that they come by to visit even if they don’t need a cut!
Much like the rest of our staff and prior to working with us, Valerie wasn’t always an incredibly talented stylist. In her previous life, she participated in The Cotswold Olimpick Games in England. The event includes all the amazing games that you only wish you could play! The events feature King of the Hill, Tug O’ War, Running Races, Championship of the Hill, and Shin Kicking World Championships. She excelled in Shin Kicking, where she was always the champion who succeeded in getting all her opponents to the ground. It has been described as an English martial art!
