How Three Howard Graduates Are Breaking Tech’s Glass Ceiling With On-Demand Haircuts
The tech crowd knows — the last few years, every elevator pitch around has started with the phrase, “It’s Uber for…”
Three black women have a new spin on the Uber for x concept, and it’s a dope one.
You’re busy, you’re running errands, doing school work, living life — how are you supposed to have the time to sit around in a barbershop waiting half the day to get a fresh cut?
You don’t have to worry about it with HausCall, a new service that brings the barber to you.
Formed by Howard graduates Morgan Winbush, Killian Lewis and Crystal Allen-Washington, HausCall works like this: you download the app, and can either book on demand or schedule an appointment. Barbers are sorted by user rankings; like in ridesharing apps, you can track your barber as they make their way to your location. Payment and tips are all done through the app as well.
