Alvin Owens knew that Kenosha didn’t really need another barbershop… but we did need a Collective. So he started Regimen Barber Collective, 1345 52nd St. They offer much more than haircuts, with the BLAK Coffee Shop Pop-Up and the Legacy Lab, Alvin is doing everything he can to help our community members find the right path.

In 1998, Alvin created the Education Development Youth Outreach program to give local teens a chance to experience a culture they might not be familiar with. Each year, his group takes a spring tour of historic Black colleges. Find out more at their website here!
