Barber's Ink holds memorable grand opening including a wedding proposal

Community Wednesday, January 1, 2014

 

Barber's Ink, located in the Lake Katherine Shopping Center, opened it's doors in early December for the official grand opening of the newest barber shop in Miami Lakes. Owner George Betances sealed the day as one of his most memorable by proposing to his girlfriend moments before the ribbon was cut. 

"It was a special day in my life. I proposed to my beautiful girlfriend Jessica before cutting the ribbon. I felt as if it was a new beginning in our lives and a new journey. The grand opening was a great success and we are very grateful to everyone who came to show us love and support and made this dream a reality," said Betances. 

Already Betances is planning special events for the shop including hosting "Lights Out" every other Saturday, in which hair is cut under spotlights, wine is offered for adults, and beverages for children in a relaxing atmosphere. Barber's Ink will also feature free hair cuts every Tuesday for first time guests during January and weekly specials on products and haircuts.
