Guadalupe Barber & Beauty Shop

The Guadalupe Barber Shop was founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1935 by Henry Garcia and a business partner. Today Henry's son Arthur Garcia, and Arthur's daughter Michelle Lahargoue are continuing to maintain a thriving local business. On any given day, you'll find four generations waiting together to have their turn on the chair, share personal updates and stories and reconnect with old friends.

Santa Fe Living Treasures


Santa Fe Living Treasures, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3), publicly honors elders who have generously served the Santa Fe community with kind hears and good deeds. Their oral histories and photographs are recorded, archived, and made available to the public at teh Fray Angélico Chávez History Library, Santa Fe, NM.

Recently, I was honored to join the committee as the new Living Treasures photographer! Consequently, I had the great pleasure of photographing Ramon Montes, Barbara Hooton and Saul Cohen for the upcoming ceremony.



Santa Fe Living Treasures will honor these three extraordinary elders on Sunday, June 7, 2:00 p.m., at the United Church of Santa Fe, 1804 Arroyo Chamiso. Please come!! This year marks the 25th anniversary for this non-profit group founded in 1984 by peace activist, teacher, author and minister Mary Lou Cook.
