Every Sunday, This New York Hair Stylist Gives Free Haircuts To The Homeless

Mark Bustos, a hair stylist in New York, spends his Sundays (the only day he has off of work) walking the city’s streets giving haircuts to the homeless – people who couldn’t otherwise afford them.

Bustos got the idea after visiting family in the Phillippines in 2012 and renting a barber to give haircuts to needy local children. He says that his most memorable “client” was a man named Jemar Banks; “He didn’t have much to say throughout the whole process, until after I showed him what he looked like when I was done… The first thing he said to me was, ‘Do you know anyone that’s hiring?’“
