San Angelo Woman’s Dream Comes True With New Barber Shop

SAN ANGELO, TX — Once Tina Coombs was no longer busy with her job as a mom, she had a chance to pursue her next dream of being a business owner.

Coombs saw that dream come true July 1 when she and her husband, Henry, opened Kickin Kuts at 4328 Sherwood Way.

“I started cutting hair in my late 40s. I’m a late bloomer,” Coombs said. “I raised my three boys until they could go out on their own, and then my husband pushed me to go to cosmetology school.

“It’s always been my dream to own my own spot.”

The Lake View graduate said the barber shop caters more to men and children, but women can also get their hair trimmed.

“It’s not like an expensive barber shop where you go in and pay $45 for a haircut,” Coombs said. “I wanted it to be a reasonably priced place where people could walk in and get out, and they’re not spending 45 minutes in a chair. But we offer all the same services as any barber shop, except for straight razoring.”

Coombs said Kickin Kuts will be offering a back-to-school special from Aug. 1-15 for $15 haircuts that come with a free backpack and school supplies.

She said she hopes to eventually have days set aside each month for special-needs children.

“I was a substitute teacher for seven years and worked with special needs kids, and I just loved it,” Coombs said. “We’ve had a great experience with some kids that have already come in. Their parents loved it. It’s not overwhelming. It’s not loud in here like other places where music is playing loud.”

Coombs said customers will also be entered into a giveaway from Aug. 1-31 for an Igloo cooler full of products that are sold at Kickin Kuts valued at $250. 

Kickin Kuts’ hours of operation are 8 a.m.-8 p.m. on Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday.
