HARTFORD, Conn. — When Courtney Connors graduated from the International Institute of Cosmetology in Wethersfield several years ago, she had a dream of becoming a successful barber in her own barbershop.
This year, Connors, 27, fulfilled that goal and now is a barber and the new owner of Cut Republic, at 199 Shunpike Road in Cromwell.
And while she originally believed that she wanted to do women’s hair, Connors said she changed her mind after being introduced to more men’s cuts while in trade school.
