Lindsay Combs Jones of Floyd’s 99 Cuts, Color, Shaves
124 Malabu Dr. Ste. 150 • Lexington 859.551.3470 FloydsBarbershop.com Lindsay Combs Jones lived in Los Angeles in her twenties and worked in television development before joining an international brand in their marketing and brand management departments. After visiting a Floyd’s in her neighborhood, Lindsay fell in love with the brand. When Lindsay moved back to Kentucky, she was determined to open a Floyd’s in Lexington. As owner/operator of the Lexington Floyd’s 99 Cuts, Color, Shaves, Lindsay tries to combine her work, family and social life as much as possible. Floyd’s is not your typical shop, in fact, Floyd’s offers a full menu of services for both men and women. Luckily for Lindsay, Floyd’s is also a unique hangout, which makes work more like a fun, social engagement. Plus, as Lindsay explained, Floyd’s has its own radio station, so work often feels like a dance party. “Working hard is very rewarding for me and with the help and support of my family, I’ve learned to make certain things a priority,” she says. “I also try not to over-stress about things that are out of my control, which reminds me that every day is a gift.” When Lindsay moved back from Los Angeles, she worried that Lexington was too small to house her dreams. She quickly learned that she was very wrong, and says she’s thrilled to be part of such an exciting time in the growth of Lexington and to be in a supportive community of entrepreneurial women. “We are truly putting Lexington on the map,” she says. “Women who manage to provide for their family and still be actively involved in their children’s lives, are so inspiring to me.” As a business owner, Lindsay has learned that her strong work ethic and time management skills are her secret weapon. “Nothing feels better at the end of the day than knowing you really took the bull by the proverbial horns,” she says. “Time management is key in keeping a balanced life, but dry shampoo still gives me 30 extra minutes of sleep.”
