Cuts for a Cause: Booksy’s First Pop-up Barbershop

Last week on May 9th, Booksy put on their first pop-up barbershop in Chicago, IL! Two local barbers, Talia Roxit and Savanna the Barber, volunteered their time and talent to give Industrious members a midday chop. Clients paid $20 as a direct donation to Off the Street Club, a Chicago safe haven for kids living in high-crime areas of the city. For all the details, check out the recap video on Booksy’s Instagram account @booksybiz, and see below for event highlights!

The power of a barber pole. The universal symbol that there are professional cuts happening somewhere close. This helped us turn typical office space into a proper, pop-up barbershop!

At the end of the day, this is what it’s all about. Hundreds of kids feel safer every year because of Off the Street Club. Watch more on OTSC here.

Booksy Pop-ups is on a mission to connect local barbers, help those in need, and provide good hair for everyone. Less than an hour of conversation, a small donation, and a quick clean up for the hairs on your head is making more of a difference than we know. Keep your eye out for the next #BooksyPopup!
