What drives us To inspire confidence and to empower people to be the best version of themselves. Our view of the world Barbershops are epicenters of culture. We're building the worlds largest barbershop platform, living at the intersection of all things style and grooming. theCut is launching a scholarship fund to preserve access to financial aid for aspiring barbering students. The Department of Education has designated barbering as “low value” profession. This means that training programs will be put under more scrutiny, and may have access to financial aid revoked.
