Homeless man looks unrecognisable after free haircut from kindhearted barber

A caring barber has shown how a generous gesture can make all the difference after trimming away a homeless man's long, dishevelled hair, completely free of charge. Since 2017, barber Joshua Santiago has travelled around the US in his mobile barbershop, offering free haircuts to those who are unable to afford them, through his non-profit organisation Empoweringcuts.

Joshua, who is originally from Philidelphia, recently shared a video of one homeless man before, during, and after his transformative haircut. Many people have since been left moved by how smart and well-cared for the man looked with his messy hair shorn away, applauding Joshua for taking the time to lend a hand.
