About Us

Laced by the Barbie

At Laced By The Barbie, beauty isn’t just a service—it’s an experience designed to uplift, inspire, and transform. Our salon was created to bring luxury beauty with an urban edge to women who deserve the best but are often overlooked. From lashes to wig installs, brows, nails, and more, we specialize in services that enhance natural beauty while helping every client feel confident and unstoppable.

We’re proud to also bring our passion into product development. Our signature Lash Drip Aftercare Kit was created to give clients the tools they need to maintain their lash extensions with ease and care. And our exclusive Laced By The Barbie Color Glue Shampoo, available in three convenient sizes, was specially formulated for color-treated hair to keep your shade vibrant, fresh, and lasting longer. These products represent more than beauty—they represent empowerment, accessibility, and lasting results.
At Laced By The Barbie, we’re building more than a salon. We’re creating a movement that fuses beauty, community, and opportunity—because everyone deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and unforgettable.

Meet the owner

BarbaraLynn Akins

Hi, I’m BarbaraLynn, founder and owner of Laced By The Barbie LLC. With over 10 years of experience and my cosmetology license, I turned my passion for beauty into a vision that goes far beyond lashes and hair. For me, this is personal.

I built Laced By The Barbie not just as a salon, but as a safe space for women—especially those starting over, rebuilding their lives, or coming from recovery programs—to feel cared for and empowered. I know what it means to push through struggles and create a new beginning, and I want every woman who sits in my chair to walk out feeling stronger, more beautiful, and ready to take on the world.

This journey hasn’t been mine alone. My husband has been my biggest supporter, always encouraging me to chase the bigger vision, and I’m grateful for the family and friends who have stood by me as I built this dream. I also owe so much to my mother—when I got clean, she opened her home to me, gave me the space to start fresh, and believed in me enough to let me build the very beginnings of Laced By The Barbie under her roof. She’s been by my side from the start, helping me every step of the way, and her faith in me has been just as important as my own.

With Laced By The Barbie, my goal is to continue growing a brand that delivers not just flawless beauty services, but also high-quality, signature products like our Lash Drip Aftercare Kit and Color Glue Shampoo line—made for women by a woman who understands what true beauty feels like.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a space where beauty meets confidence, and every client feels pampered, valued, and unforgettable. From Portsmouth to Columbus and beyond, we’re proud to bring affordable luxury and urban elegance to every woman who walks through our doors.
