Filling A Need

From the Washington Post -

The next phase of the on-demand economy: Haircuts by delivery
By Thomas Heath

Every three weeks or so, a black, custom-outfitted recreational vehicle rumbles into a cul-de-sac in Alexandria. The neighbors pour out of their homes to greet it.

“It’s kind of like the ice cream truck,” said Mary Beth Buchholz, who lives on the tree-lined street. “All the kids come running.”

Grown-ups, too.

The RV pulls up to the curb, the driver’s door swings open and out steps Rubie Williams, entrepreneur and owner of Hair Nirvana, the mobile hair salon that delivers her to her 100-plus customers all over the Washington region.

It’s her answer to the era of on-demand services.
