Conquering adversity and overcoming fear are nothing new
to Lici "Lady Barber" Febo. She has been doing just that—on
her own—since she was 16. So, it should come as no surprise
that she also shattered one of the most historically difficult
glass ceilings to smash: the barbershop, where men and
boys gather, sometimes weekly, to swap stories, express
vulnerabilities, provide support, and build community. Even
today, a trip to the barbershop isn't just for the haircut; it's
more about community and culture. The same community
and culture that historically shunned women as customers,
let alone accepted them as barbers.
