2018 Fabby Award winners: Services
Most Fabulous Barber
Kylee Howell at Friar Tucks
It’s no surprise that Kylee Howell leads Friar Tuck to a Fabby because Kylee is very fabby. The shop gives back to the community through service and fundraising for VOA and other LGBT nonprofits. If Fabby needs a punctuation mark, search Youtube with the words, Kylee and Dove. You’ll find a real exclamation point.

Most Fabulous Landscape Designer
Dean Anesi at Urban Garden Company

Lux Catering
Kelly and John Lake founded Le Croissant Catering in their kitchen and turned it into the most LGBT supporting and fanciest caterers in SLC. They transitioned to LUX in 2017 to emphasize they are the complete package for events — planning, design, flowers, as well as food. Kelly will even sing at a funeral if asked.
