New Canadian-made app makes it easier to find stylists who know Black hair
CTV
Finding a barber who could cut his hair was sometimes an ordeal for Jeff Fasegha when he was travelling across Canada as a teenager — something he hopes to make a thing of the past with a new app seeking to help customers connect with barbers and hairstylists offering services for Black hair.
Fasegha is the founder of Fyyne, a new app that promises to be “the one-stop app for beauty services”, allowing beauty businesses to promote to those in their area, and customers to find services near them.
“Fyyne is a social marketplace for beauty services,” Fasegha told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview. “So think about people who braid hair, people who cut hair, barbers, people who install wigs — we build the tools for them to run their business more effectively and we connect them with a group of customers.
“Being able to find people who can do your hair is important.”
With the app, Fasegha is hoping to address an issue that he’s been aware of since he was a teenager.
