Hello!
My name is Holden Robbie Allen Hutcheson. I’m 24 years old, and I’m from Garner, Iowa!
I started cutting hair in my teens with WalMart clippers and janky scissors; cutting anyone who’d give me a chance. I immediately realized I loved cutting hair, as it gave me a creative outlet I could showcase my unique style and abilities for people to see, and enjoy themselves! Growing up in Iowa, there weren’t many options to get your haircut, so I didn’t see much opportunity to excel in a professional barber career in my area.
I attended a four year university in Iowa for Graphic Design and after a year and a half, felt like I wasn’t on the right path. I took a hiatus from school, and started a clothing company, a photography business, and recorded and produced a music album and podcast within a year. I was obviously itching to be creative, and knew I needed to find a career where I could put my skills to use.
During the pandemic, I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted and where I wanted to be. After two years of working and saving up, I decided to move to Denver to attend Aveda Institute Denver Barber School and pursue my passion cutting hair!
1,500 hours later, I graduated Aveda Institute August 2022 with 100% attendance, 99% GPA, and earned awards: Most Improved, Rising Star, and Valedictorian.
I received my Colorado Barber License October 2022. I’m loving this industry, and all the amazing people I get to work with and meet everyday! As I continue to grow and improve my skills, I hope you’ll come to Blank Barbers and let me show you what I love to do!
Thank you for your time. I’ll see you soon!
