MobiCutz is the newest tech app to simplify your search for a barber or groomer, created by Christian Bonner.

A professional barbering and personal grooming service app that allows users to locate the best barber in their area, by navigating through an application that locates the nearest barber who will commute to you instantly and provide service upon request.

I had the pleasure of speaking with the Military Veteran about creating an app from a consumer’s standpoint, cleanliness, and expanding his business.

Inspiration behind MobiCutz:

I’m a military veteran and I have two small sons. It was a hassle for me to get myself and my sons to the barber shop, while working with the military. I didn’t want to spend hours sitting in shops that’s why I really came up with the idea. I also thought it would help others as well, because we all love convenience.

Process behind creating the app:

I saved money while I was in the military. I just wanted to take that risk to see what I could do. I worked with developers in India, and they did it for me at a reasonably good price.

Response time to customers:

 The response time has been pretty good actually.You can see how far the barbers are from you and you can select accordingly.

Entrepreneurial challenges:

I faced a lot of challenges. A lot of people told me it wasn’t going to work, because the barber shop is sacred in the African American community and it is. It was all about chasing my dreams.

Promoting cleanliness:

When we come into a client’s home or work area, we promote cleanliness. We put down a mat and  a cape and drape over our customers. We want to leave your home or work space, just as it was before we came.

Expanding for women:

Yes, I am actively integrating my app right now. I am building the women’s side of it-makeup and hair services will be included. It’s going to be really big.

Colin Kaepernick, From a Veteran’s point-of view:

I think kneeling is showing a sign of respect. I’ve had this conversation plenty of times. You will kneel when you pray or to show respect in so many ways. I don’t see it as disrespect. I think, at this point, we need to all be active and show support for this cause.

Giving back to community:

For the holidays, I would love to give back to college kids and less fortunate. Give out free haircuts, clothes, and other essentials.
