So cutting hair is my passion, man. There’s nothing that actually I’d rather do in life.
So it only seems befitting that on my day off I’m doing what I love doing , you know what I mean.
I look for people that are living on the streets and I try to offer them a haircut, a face
shave or even my companionship.
Basically my end goal is to give them a form of
confidence that they sometimes, you know, tend to not have.
They are actually meaningful; they are here for a purpose. They’re not just here just to be to
be bound to the streets, to hardships and hard times.
It may be a superficial change, but if that can change a frame of reference or an inner
reflection about themselves, I guess that’s just the first step, you know?
When I first meet people on the streets, they’re really timid, they’re really shy, but once they see their
reflection in the mirror, the joy on their face, the notion of feeling valued is just
priceless. It does more for me I think than it does for them and I think that’s one of the
driving forces and the inspiration for me to want to keep it in the streets and doing what I do.
Something as simple as a haircut may not be a big deal for some,
but it’s created a positive influence for many of my client’s lives.
