A Colorado native, Kiyomi is a graduate of Emily Griffith Technical School’s Barbering Program and is passionate about men’s grooming.

Kiyomi found her love for hair back in high school feeling that it gave her a creative outlet. Before attending Emily Griffith, Kiyomi found herself picking up a receptionist job at Al’s Barber Shop in Denver, Colorado. She realized the precision work of men’s hair would give her a challenge that she would never get bored of and decided that Al’s was the shop she wanted to cut hair at.

After becoming licensed Al Urbanowski took Kiyomi and has mentored her throughout her career. He introduced her and taught her all about American Crew method and products. Soon after, Kiyomi made the decision to try out for Team Crew. She feels extremely grateful for the opportunities that have presented themselves through all her hard work, dedication, and passion.

Along with being an American Crew Educator, she still works behind the chair at Al’s Barber Shop in both the Denver and Boulder locations.
