Our Why
At ClipDart, our purpose comes from the personal journey of our Founder/CEO, Kyle Parker. While attending Grinnell College in Iowa, Kyle, who has coarse hair, lost complete access to culturally competent haircare which made him realize just how vital haircare is to one’s mental wellness, especially for historically marginalized and underserved communities. Motivated by his own struggles, Kyle founded ClipDart to ensure that everyone—regardless of their background—can overcome haircare inequity and feel their best!
Our mission is to improve mental wellness through culturally competent haircare
Our vision is to create a world free of haircare inequity
