Giving confidence to the homeless through grooming
The art of giving comes in many forms, whether through monetary charity or just by giving a simple hand in a time of need, its always been said that it is better to give that to receive.
The concept of giving time of course comes in the form of volunteerism, I myself was a volunteer for many years, trying to where possible share my skills with people who may have been down on their luck. In the below video hair stylist Mark Bustos from New York also gives his time to use his awesome skills in hair styling to make the days of homeless people in New York city.
What the video captures so earnestly here is the effect when people are able to see themselves differently. Thats what I love about this video here, it really captures that moment well, where people down on their luck are able to see themselves differently: perhaps a better version of themselves and hopefully build upon that optimism that comes so simply through a basic trim and groom.
Of course the crus here is that it is an advert for shaver brand Phillips.
“I’m a hairstylist based out of New York City. On my days off, I go out on the street and look for homeless people to help out. Whether it’s a haircut or just a conversation, I try to help brighten someone’s day”
