What happens when a world traveler puts down roots in a small town and builds something entirely her own?

In this episode of The Black Hills Insider, I sit down with MiKayla Boswell, owner and solo barber behind Beards and Shears. MiKayla has lived all over the world, most recently in Texas, before choosing the Black Hills as home for herself, her two boys, and her business.

We talk about what it really looks like to run a one woman barbershop, the leap of faith it takes to open your own doors, and why community involvement matters just as much as skill behind the chair. MiKayla also shares her experience serving on the Chamber board, relocating her shop from Belle Fourche to Spearfish, and balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship.

This episode is full of laughs, honest conversation, behind the scenes barber stories, and real talk about choosing small town life with intention.

If you love stories about local business owners, community builders, and people who took the long road to find home, this one is for you.
