    I used to talk with my roommate about this idea of an app for barbershops when I was in Bangalore. But we never had courage to get out and do it.Glad these guys did it.
    ps: it's that roommate who shared me this video... 😊

      I don't believe that it should be the norm. Most people fail, so if we can learn from failures by showing them, that's all that matter. I think believing everything is sweet makes a harder fall is what I'm saying.

    I’ve had the app for a couple of years and it honestly is great from a consumer standpoint point. It’s also great for people who travel a lot, it’s helped me discover great barbers in cities I’m not familiar with.

    My barber’s been telling me that he needed an app to manage his business more smoothly because he’s getting older and need to do things smarter. I said ok, I’ll look into it. I never did. And here it is. Business is more than an idea, courage, hard work, execution.

    Applaud these brothers, adoption will continue to be key and product services. Unfortunately, the barber industry especially in minority communities is an old business that has antiquated business model that deals in cash from the door to the floor for various reasons. Hopefully this will be adopted and an add value for the smaller barbershops and they won’t get gouged to access their core services.
