Improving mental wellness through on-site haircare
Haircare is essential…especially for people who lack access to culturally competent haircare!
At ClipDart, we are revolutionizing the haircare experience through our purpose—'Our Why.' Founded by Kyle Parker, ClipDart arose from his personal battle with haircare inequity as a college student in rural Iowa where haircare was largely inaccessible. His experience inspired ClipDart’s commitment to tackling haircare inequity in all its forms— be it travel, cost, discrimination, or other barriers. Today, we provide on-site and culturally competent haircare for underrepresented communities, all aimed at improving mental wellness. For us, cultural competency means tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of each person, regardless of their background. Through our innovative B2B model, ClipDart is breaking barriers & making haircare accessible to all!
Haircare Inequity: An Overlooked Barrier to Mental Wellness
The Problem
Many, especially underrepresented communities, must travel inconvenient distances to access a skilled hair professional they feel comfortable with.
Travel
Haircare costs have surged 100% since 2020, making it difficult for many to find consistent and affordable haircare services.
Cost
Discrimination at shops & salons discourages many from seeking haircare, especially those facing issues related to LGBTQ+ identity, poverty, and violence.
Discrimination
