“Beauty professionals choose this industry because of creative freedom and the positive impact we leave on our clients. Now with more people choosing to enter the beauty and barbering industry today than ever before, ShearShare’s beauty tech platform gives stylists and barbers even more freedom to choose when and where to impact those clients. When I started working out of my mother’s salon at the age of 16 as a shampoo girl, there were only two options for how stylists found space to work. I knew Tye and Courtney had something special as soon as they shared their vision behind ShearShare and how their goal is to build something where everyone wins. As a ShearShare host myself, I use the app to make money on my empty space while giving stylists who need that access an opportunity to rent on demand. It is an honor to be apart of the team responsible for providing the largest supply of on-demand salon and barbershop space rentals. I look forward to helping ShearShare leave a lasting impact on our fellow stylists and owners alike.”
“We are thrilled to have TD and Kim on our advisory board,” says Courtney Caldwell, ShearShare cofounder & COO. “We’ve been fortunate to partner with both of these accomplished leaders along the way as we’ve grown ShearShare, and we are honored to solidify that partnership through their participation on our board. Their guidance as we continue to evolve and innovate is invaluable to our success.”
