About this campaign
It's time for Camera Ready Kutz, Inc. to move from a room in an
apartment to a fresh Brooklyn storefront in order to provide full
grooming services.
http://www.camerareadykutz.com/
We
are Camera Ready Kutz, Inc. - an ever-expanding crew of LGBTQAI+ individuals
dedicated to providing quality personal grooming for folks in our
community & beyond!
Camera Ready Kutz was established in November 2007 by Brooklyn-based Master Barber and entrepreneur, Khane Kutzwell. Khane’s
passion for barbering developed after hearing stories from community
members about sub-par treatment in neighborhood shops: from women being
denied service because they requested short styles to men having their
hairlines unnecessarily “pushed back.” Determined to create a place
where EVERYONE could safely and comfortably enjoy the classic barbershop
experience, Khane enrolled in a barbering program….. And she’s been
cutting hair ever since -- not only in NYC, but in California, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore & New Jersey, as well!
Why is this project important?
There
is a significant lack of queer-friendly businesses in the United
States. To say our community is under served is a serious understatement!
A conservative estimate sites about 300,000 LGBTQAI-identified citizens
in New York City alone. Our community’s needs are complex &
far-reaching -- the cultivation of tools for self-expression is just one
of many.
Camera Ready Kutz is, in essence, a small piece of this cultural
tapestry. What we want now is an opportunity to showcase to the wider
public what we have to offer, while engaging our allies, friends,
family, and newcomers in a better understanding of non-normative
identities and queer aesthetics through the transformative medium of
hair.
As
it stands, Camera Ready Kutz can take clients by appointment only. A
brick-and-mortar shop would provide CRK with a much-needed expansion: to
allow us to take walk-ins and have a full line of grooming services, to
offer a visible-yet-safe space for all, to encourage community
conversation and relaxation ….. to better serve
more members of our community every single day! Also, we will be
providing a comfortable work environment for other stylists and
practitioners who are just as passionate about serving our
community.
