Looking for my favorite barber's new gig

February 27, 2016 3:14 PM

I used to get great haircuts from a barber named Yollanda in Brooklyn. She worked at Badlands Salon in Park Slope, but when I called them up last week, they told me she no longer works there, and they obviously have no incentive to tell me where she's working now. I'd love to track her down— she's the best and I wish we had exchanged contact info! All I know is that she's originally from Jamaica, and lives near Atlantic Terminal. Anyone know her and where she's cutting hair right now?

Just to clarify, did you actually ask the Salon if they knew where she was working now or have her contact info? I've followed my barber to a number of places and the salons usually were happy to provide the info.

Could you look her up on Facebook? She might have changed her job listing there, or you could friend her and ask directly.

Try messaging these people on Yelp.

Could this be her Yelp profile? You could try messaging her, although the profile looks to be inactive.

Okay, my Google-fu is strong today. Check your MeMail.

Your barber has to keep the state informed of her new location of practice. Have you checked for her with the state's licensing agency?
