Career and Professional Life
Shaun McKnight is a YouTube dad who appears in videos on the “Cute Girls Hairstyles” channel. It is founded by his wife Mindy McKnight. He stays home to manage the business and technical side of the popular YouTube channel.
Before indulging in Youtube, he was working an 8-to-5 day-job lifestyle. He was a Business Development Director for Nature’s Sunshine Products in Utah when he realized the popularity of YouTube. Then he joined his family at home to work full-time. Moreover, he also has his own special episodes on the Cute Girls Hairstyles channel called “Daddy ‘Dos.”
His wife, Mindy McKnight, had first started with placing photos in an album and uploading them but the responses were tremendous with increasing comments and they decided to start live tutorials. He saw this as a business opportunity and couldn’t juggle between his regular job and overseeing the channel.
After leaving the job
Then in September 2013, he finally decided to quit his comfortable position to focus on expanding the channel’s popularity. The content started focusing on girls’ hairstyles, hairdos, lifestyle, beauty, parenting, teen advice, among others. Some of the most popular videos of this channel include Live Mermaids Swimming in Our Pool, Feather Waterfall & Ladder Braid Combo, The Waterfall Braid, and Ponytail Bow.
The enormous success could be ascribed to the fact that the content was free and the hairdos were in the form of step-by-step video tutorials. His branding initiative and strategies have successfully made the channel financially viable and constantly popular. He has an acumen for Adsense, promotions, products, and brands.
With his guidance and direction, his twin daughters, Brooklyn and Bailey, also started their own YouTube vlog which focuses on beauty and fashion. Subsequently, the couple launched two other channels: “Millennial Moms”, which focuses on lifestyle and parenting; and “Squared2”, another entertainment channel that is exclusively dedicated to twins and everything related to them.
