Local barber brings big city feel to small town studio
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – A new barbershop in Boardman is looking to add some local barbers to the team. Kiernan Kiske opened the doors to Stylogarten Barber Studio March 1. Growing up in Poland, Kiernan Kiske wanted to be a tattoo artist, but he could never find a place to learn. Eventually, he got tired of his desk job and took a leap, applying to barber school. 'At that time, the only one around was in Niles — Raphael's, and so that was whenever I quit my job the day that I signed up. I never really thought about cutting hair, but I was like, let's give it a shot,' Kiske said. From that point on, Kiske fell in love with cutting hair. Starting in 2020, he spent five years in a space with other artists until this March, when he opened his own studio — Stylogarten on Market Street. 'I wanted to create my own space. I'd collect a lot of art, Italian glass, very much in arts and culture. I thought that would be my first step into trying to curate a spot that doesn't necessarily look like a barbershop, a traditional barbershop,' Kiske said. Kiske says he loves the freedom of self-employment, and he was excited to bring his own style to the new studio. 'I had this spot open up, and it kind of just seemed to be the perfect timing. I was ready to expand, and my clientele was growing a lot, so I was like, maybe I need a bigger space. Maybe I could start bringing on some other guys who see the same vision as me,' Kiske said. Stylogarten has five open spots that Kiske is looking to fill with local barbers over the next two years. Though the walls of his studio are lined with a wide variety of paintings and decor, he's keeping those five booths empty so any new barbers can bring their own touch to the studio. 'I am trying to make it way more personalized for barbers where they could really make their own hours as long as they're staying consistent. I give them their booth. If they want to add lighting, add lighting. If they want to put up art, put up art. It's yours,' Kiske said. Kiske says he's not only looking for seasoned barbers, but he's willing to use his eight years of experience as a mentor. 'I have five spots open. I would love to have some cool barbers here that kind of see the vision that I'm going for, kind of giving a big city feel to the small town,' he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Group protests Congressman Rulli's stance on issues and bill
AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Protesters gathered at a Valley grocery store Wednesday, demonstrating about Congressman Michael Rulli's votes on some issues and President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. It was one of many protests being held by constituents outside Rulli Brothers grocery stores. This time, the protest is in Austintown. About 40 people have been outside the store since about 3 p.m. They're calling for Congressman Rulli to hold a town hall meeting with constituents while he is in town, and are also concerned with his stance on some issues. Among their concerns are cuts being made in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, especially to Medicare and Medicaid. This protest comes on the same day that Congressman Rulli introduced the Gambler Act in Congress to address the border crisis, which seeks to allocate money from the US Treasury towards ICE operations. The money will specifically come from gambling tax revenue The act would receive a $300 million fund each year from the treasury. Rulli says the act will strengthen immigration enforcement without raising taxes on citizens. Rulli Brothers issued a statement about the protests: For 108 years Rulli Bros has proudly served the Mahoning Valley as a retailer of groceries and Italian specialties. During that history we have contributed to the local community and economy by providing customers with goods at competitive prices, creating countless jobs, procuring goods from local vendors, and generating local tax revenues that directly benefit the community.
