SUMMARY
This is the story of a barbershop, called Barba, that prevailed over the pandemic by reinventing the haircutting experience. After noticing photos of botched haircuts flooding the Internet, Barba introduced Quarancuts Virtual Hair School: Complimentary, one-on-one guided haircuts with founder, Xavier Cruz, hosted on IGTV. On a mere $5K budget, Quarancuts garnered 2.4B press impressions, boosted website traffic by 823% and grew Instagram followers by 32%—all during the worst business climate of our lifetime.
