You might know Branden Ashmore—he’s been a familiar face in our community for years, juggling everything from grain silos to concrete construction, bartending, an amazing photographer and now as our beloved barber. Branden’s touched many lives, and he truly values each relationship he’s built.

Branden, our friend Ian Johnson, and Jade Nielsen opened Nice Barber Company a few years ago, with Branden leading the charge in the shop from day one.

Unfortunately, Branden had an accident recently and is expected to leave the shop for a few months. On September 4, he’ll have an MRI to determine the best way to heal his injured shoulder. This has been incredibly tough for him as someone who makes 100% of his living with his hands.

We’re hosting a benefit on September 21 to support Branden during his recovery. Join us at Nice Barber Company for a day of haircuts, tattoos, a silent auction, free-will donations, and probably many high-fives and fist bumps. All proceeds will cover his medical expenses and help him through this challenging time. If you're unable to attend, please consider donating through our GoFundMe.

We’d love to see you there and show Branden how much he means to us all.
