OUR TEAM
Established in 2016, Primitive Parlor Salon & Barber was founded by Jennifer Davis and is now proudly operated alongside her son, Levi Tanner. Together, they’ve built a space rooted in warmth, craftsmanship, and an old-fashioned barbershop charm. Primitive Parlor is uniquely structured with a blended team of both employees and independent renters, creating a collaborative environment where diverse specialties and creative styles thrive. This mix allows guests to experience an exceptional range of talent, from modern color and cutting techniques to classic barbering. Most recently, Primitive Parlor expanded its services to include nails, adding even more convenience and artistry under one roof. Whether you’re visiting for a haircut, color, grooming, or a fresh set of nails, our team is committed to making you feel welcome, listened to, and cared for—every time you walk through the door.
