Lisa Barlow first made her mark as an entrepreneur building businesses in fashion, liquor, and marketing. But it was her 2020 casting on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City that catapulted her to national fame. As one of the breakout stars of the show‘s freshman season, Barlow quickly became known for her strong personality, sharp tongue, and endless hustle.
From East Coast Roots to Utah Life
Born in New York City and raised primarily on Long Island, Barlow moved to Utah for college where she earned a marketing degree from the University of Utah. It was there that she met her future husband John Barlow, heir to the Barlow fortune built on the appliance business.
After gaining experience in marketing and partnerships, Barlow leveraged her skills to co-found the concierge marketing agency LUXE in 2004. This launched her entrepreneurial career and paved the way for the multitude of businesses she would eventually spearhead.
Hustling Her Way to Reality TV Fame
Barlow brought her passionate personality and penchant for conflict to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in 2020. As one of six inaugural cast members, she quickly established herself as a central character on the show.
While RHOSLC was intended to highlight the affluent side of Mormon culture in Utah, Barlow – a Jewish convert to Mormonism – has been at the center of much of the show‘s drama. She sparred frequently with castmates Jen Shah and Mary Cosby over their behavior and jail scandal.
With viewer ratings for RHOSLC consistently strong, Barlow seems poised to share more of her over-the-top lifestyle and business hustles to fans in upcoming seasons.

Beyond Business: Her Personal Side

The couple has two grown sons together and split time between Park City, Utah and their new mansion in Salt Lake City. Barlow prides herself on being a hands-on parent, even as she juggles her many business pursuits and reality TV career.
