Meet Our Barbers

Say Hello to LJ & Teaj…and Finn

Lance “LJ” Teachworth

St. Paul native Lance “LJ” Teachworth is the owner of Groveland Barbershop. A Cretin graduate, LJ went on to receive a degree in Spanish from the University of Montana, and graduated from Minnesota School of Barbering. A true Renaissance man, LJ is also a licensed yoga instructor, a fan of the Grateful Dead, plays many styles of guitar, is trained in aerial acrobatics and has made the pilgrimage to the Burning Man festival many times.

LJ’s love for the community and passion for people has made Groveland Barbershop a local favorite. Visitors  are greeted by a warm and friendly environment, and usually LJ’s favorite four-legged friend, Finn, the shop’s hard-working mascot.

Teaj Stone Fox

Teaj has been cutting, coloring, and styling hair since the ’90s. Cosmetology runs in her blood; her twin brother is a professional cosmetologist and her grandmother was also a cosmetologist. After raising her children, and becoming a multi-faceted circus performer, Teaj met her life-mate LJ (yes, THIS LJ!) and rekindled her love of all things hair, attending the Minnesota School of Barbering and earning her license in 2020.

Teaj brings a ton of creative energy to the Groveland Barbershop. Fades, mullets, graphic designs, fun colors, you’re in great hands with Teaj. Of course she is adept at traditional hair styling as well,  a beard trim, an old-school straight razor shave, a classic haircut or a whole new look, Teaj does them all.

It is Teaj’s mission to be all-inclusive and create a welcoming and safe space where everyone feels accepted, respected, and free to express themselves.
