En Root Mobile Barbershop Company

This is the archived page of En Root Mobile Barbershop Company. Nationally recognized for its innovative model and approach, this business ran successfully from 2017-2021 and served hundreds of children, adults, and families by bringing the barbershop space, culture, and services to them. Through this initiative, and similar to many successful mobile businesses, the company was positioned to open up a storefront a few years later. Rooted Barber + Shop opened in the summer of 2018 and runs full-time; specializing in barbering services for all hair types.

You can learn more about the mobile journey at www.entrootokc.com. For barbering services, visit our storefront, Rooted Barber + Shop, located at 3515 N. Classen in OKC. You can always book online at www.rootedokc.com!

Back2School | Citizens Caring for Children Attending a new school can be especially difficult for a child in foster care. During the back-to-school event, more than 600 children and young adults in foster care are paired with volunteers to pick out the perfect back-to-school outfit and school supplies.

Summertime is around the corner and we got you for your event needs. Contact us today for more information on our mobile event services.

Locally owned barbershops play an important role in providing jobs, keeping money circulating within local economies, and help to stimulate growth. Barbershops also create a promising pathway into entrepreneurship and inherently support other entrepreneurs from different arenas. Where else will you be able to get a haircut, buy a hot plate, and a piece of artwork? Only at the barbershop!

Barbers are the true connects in their communities and are championing critical missions to address the challenges they see impacting their neighborhoods. Initiatives across the country have learned to partner with barbershops as a strategy to connect with residents where they don’t already have the relationships and trust built. From programs that promote youth literacy, to health outreach and more - barbershops are finally being recognized for their ability to fill gaps and develop solutions in non-traditional, culturally-specific ways. We are proud to support multiple initiatives to shed light on the challenges that many people face when trying to access quality hair care services and the barbershop space - an experience that everyone deserves.

The barbershop is a community anchor that is so critical to the stability and groundedness of our communities. We've seen how our community has been impacted by not being able to readily access these spaces; where men, children and families gather for so much more than just a haircut. We wish all of our friends and supporters a healthy and happy new year, and hope to be able to bring to mobile out to support some of our favorite initiatives this year.
