Szuper kezdeményezés: egy brit fodrász ingyen csinálja meg a hajléktalanok frizuráját

Nagyszerű trend van kibontakozóban a kézügyesség mellett szociális érzékenységgel is megáldott fodrászok között. A világ több nagyvárosában is felbukkantak már olyan hajszobrászok, akik letéve a melót, hajléktalanoknak ajánlják fel a szolgáltatásaikat.

Most épp egy brit csávó, nevezett Joshua Coombes került reflektorfénybe. Ő New Yorkban találkozott ezzel a dologgal fél éve, és azóta, amikor belefér a délutánjába, kimegy az utcára hajat vágni és csevegni az emberekkel. Az élményeit pedig az Instagramján dokumentálja képpekkel és sztorikkal egyaránt.

Nyilván nem elsősorban arról van szó, hogy egy kúl frizura megoldaná ezeknek az embereknek a problémáit. Sokkal inkább a felhívó jelleg a fontos, miszerint bárki tud segíteni a rászorulóknak – ki ezzel, ki azzal. Arról nem is beszélve, hogy csomó pozitív élményt is ad mindez a jótevőnek.

Before and After of Darak. I enjoy talking to this guy so much. After seeing him around the city and getting to know him more it was great to finally get the chance to cut his hair. It nearly happened once in the past but he let others in need of a haircut go first. His generous nature and huge heart makes it harder when I see him going through a rough patch. Always a smile any time any place, massive respect for you brother ✌?️ ? by @mattspracklen #dosomethingfornothing #exeter #hair #hairdressing #menshair #malegrooming #haircut #barbering #street #homeless #expressandecho #vscocam #fujifilm

The last time Sherrie had her haircut was by a friend 6 months ago with kitchen scissors. Naturally it had a lot of imbalance so we decided to go for a shorter shape to tidy things up, undercutting back section for more longevity as the haircut grows out. Her wonderful dog stood by her side the whole time. ? by @mattspracklen #dosomethingfornothing #hair #haircut #hairdressing #bath #somerset #somersethour #street #streetphotography #fujifilm #vscocam #x100s #mansbestfriend

Not having a bed for most of the year is normal for some people. Ignoring it is easy, we're all guilty of that sometimes. Acknowledging it is the first step to empathy. It's impossible to change someone's past and difficult to change someone's present situation but the future is unwritten.. #dosomethingfornothing

#dosomethingfornothing on the streets of Bath today. This shot is of a haircut for Johnny, 41. He is sleeping rough most nights at the moment with the odd night in a shelter when he can. After a life moving from place to place he's decided to try and settle here and make a step towards getting off the street. It seems like breaking the cycle of day to day life being homeless is the hardest thing. ? by @mattspracklen

Long overdue haircut and beard trim for Dave today. He's been homeless for the majority of his adult life, quite hard to comprehend for most of us. After a bit of food and a haircut he seemed in good spirits. It always surprises me the positivity of people in this situation. #dosomethingfornothing
