On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Obi Omile to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Obi is the CEO + Co-Founder of theCut App, the #1 barber discovery app. Obi was on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List and is a Techstars ‘18 alum. He brings experience across tech and financial services industries prior to launching theCut with his co-founder Kush Patel.

 

Almost anyone who's been to a barbershop has had a bad haircut experience. It happens to barbers too. They definitely have their share of terrible barbershop experiences — double bookings, no-shows, last-minute cancellations, and an inbox of the "can you fit me in" text's from their clients. This shared frustration motivated Kush and Obi to start theCut in 2016. 

 

They wanted to solve their  problems, making a haircut simple, painless and risk-free. But quickly realized they could empower barbers to become the entrepreneurs they've always envisioned. They want to change the narrative. Tip the scales and create more success stories that barbers and clients share. Obi & Kush  have a vision of what the men's grooming industry can be. They're building the largest global barbershop brand. Bringing that offline barbershop experience into the 21st century.
