Al Urbanowski - Founder and Owner
Al Urbanowski began his barbering career in LaSalle, Illinois in 1986, where he mastered his craft in old-school barbering techniques. In 1995, Al joined the American Crew All-Star Team - the elite education program responsible for changing the way people think of men's grooming and revolutionizing the barber shop industry. As an All-Star member, Al traveled the globe sharing his knowledge, skill and techniques with other stylists. Today, Al is one of the most popular and highly regarded senior members of the American Crew All-Star Team known equally for his exceptional technique, warm personality and infectious sense of humor.
Al opened the first Al’s Barber Shop in Boulder in 1995 with the single aim of providing men a comfortable place to get a good haircut and shave. His reputation for quality haircuts and great service quickly spread, leading to a second location in Denver in 2007. Al’s Barber Shop continues to be dedicated to serving the gentleman client and providing a relaxing and welcoming environment where men can feel comfortable while meeting their grooming needs.
An avid bicyclist, hot yoga practitioner and devoted family man, Al lives in Boulder, CO with his wife, Karen, and their three children (Cole, Julia and Paul).
