Barbers and stylists connect with us as humans, care for communities, and make us feel whole, says ClipDart founder Kyle Parker, Class of 2018. A Chicago native, Kyle started a company and a non-profit devoted to providing free, onsite haircare for historically marginalized and underserved communities, and those with restricted access to haircare. In Chicago, there were many haircare options for everyone, and a barbershop was considered a safe haven. But Kyle found that's not the case in every city. Originally aiming to provide an on-demand barber app—like Uber or DoorDash—COVID-19 halted the launch, inspiring Kyle to rethink his mission and switch to a model of finding organizations like colleges, hospitals, or senior homes that have a lot of people in need, rather than just going to a single consumer with an app. “I didn’t know anything about the hair industry or about business, but I was passionate about my idea, and I took a business class on entrepreneurship. I applied to the Ain Center’s student incubator through NextCorps and got it." Kyle's business started in Arizona and has expanded to 26 states with over 100 partners. Last May, ClipDart came to our campus to provide haircuts to graduating seniors in Wilson Commons and it was a hit! Kyle's vision is truly a cut above. ✂️ Find the full story from Rochester Review magazine at https://uofr.us/3M51iHq
