It’s funny how we can take certain things for granted, like haircuts. Over the course of more than 50 years of living in different cities, different neighborhoods, or even visiting different countries, not once have I ever worried about whether I could find someone who could cut my hair the way I liked. Then again, I’m white.
Parker also discovered that not being able to get your hair cut dependably wasn’t just an inconvenience, it was a blow to his general sense of mental well-being. “It’s not ‘you feel good, you perform good in life,’” Parker points out. “It’s ‘you look good, you feel good, you perform good.’ Most people don’t realize that.”
Using ClipDart is very straightforward. After installing the app, you sign up with your email, and create a profile and add a photo. The photo is required of both clients and barbers and stylists so that each can see the other. The app also encourages you to add additional photos to your profile that illustrate the kind of hairstyle you’re looking for, which helps the barber to get a better sense of what you’ll be asking them to do, regardless of your hair type.
Individual appointments are the default, but ClipDart also includes an easy way to create group bookings. Groups are not only more fun for the clients, they make great financial sense for both clients and barbers: Groups of two or more get an automatic 25% discount, with bigger savings as the group size increases. And a barber who has taken the time to travel up to 40 miles round trip gets to maximize their profits.
Four years later, ClipDart was nearing the finish line. But as luck would have it, two days before the official launch of app on the iOS App Store, on March 15, 2020, COVID-19 threw the world into total disarray. “It’s extremely devastating to work that long on something. And we couldn’t release the app, because it’s not like it is now. Nobody even knew the word COVID. We just knew it was killing people.”Running headlong into an unexpected roadblock happens to entrepreneurs a lot.
Each of these events serves around 100 to 150 people over the course of about three hours. The effort proved so successful that earlier in 2022, ClipDart created its own registered 501 charitable organization, called The ClipDart Giveback, to continue the work.
