Episode 4 - Comb Together: A conversation with Mykal of Hairstylists for Humanity

On this week’s episode of The Schmidt Show, we’re talking about the power of a haircut—and trust us, it’s deeper than Met Gala fashion faux pas.

Our guest is Mykal, founder of Hairstylists for Humanity —a platform to network barbers and stylists who offer free grooming services to people experiencing homelessness. No salons, no appointments—just sidewalk solidarity and a whole lot of compassion.

💈Haircuts aren’t just about looking good—they’re about feeling seen. And Mykal’s crew is showing up where it counts: on the streets, in shelters, and anywhere someone needs a fresh start and a little dignity.

✂️We also talk barber loyalty (yes, cheating on your stylist is real ), the emotional power of a good fade, and why something as simple as a cut can restore more than just your edges.

🙌 Plus, we shout out some local legends like the Angel Hair Foundation and Wigs for Kids partners right here in Portland. 

💬Tune in for clippers, compassion, and a conversation that’ll make you think twice about what’s really happening in the barber’s chair.
