/age: 37 | Salon Owner/Stylist | The Beauty BARR
“My days at work are spent making women feel beautiful!” says Taylor Barr, owner and stylist of The Beauty BARR. “That’s truly the thing I love about my job the most. As a salon owner, I try to provide a fun, supportive, laid-back atmosphere for my coworkers to enjoy their work place. Being a stylist has allowed me a creative outlet. I’ve always loved hair, makeup, and fashion. I’m grateful to have a career that I really enjoy!”
Whether riding bikes, visiting her farm, swimming, or having a lazy day at home playing board games, Taylor truly enjoys spending her days off with her daughter, Emma, and son, Cruz. “My two beautiful, sweet, kind-hearted children are, by far, the greatest thing I have ever done!” she exclaims.
Taylor enjoys her job so much that she really looks forward to going to the salon. Creating and running a successful salon has made her a proud business owner. Opening and running the business in the historical district of downtown also makes her proud. Helping bring the downtown area back to life is one of Taylor’s goals, and she accomplishes this every day as the salon’s patrons visit her shop.
Even though it is hard for her to imagine, in 10 years, Taylor will have an adult daughter! “I look forward to seeing the amazing things she will do in life and being there to support her and cheer her on. My son will be 15, so I assume I’ll be spending lots of time watching him play sports!” she says proudly. “Professionally, I hope The Beauty BARR is still running strong in downtown Texarkana.”
