Homeless Man’s Unbelievable Transformation Into “Hipster” Makes Him Burst Into Tears

When this homeless man in Spain was graciously given a makeover by a local salon, he also got a new lease on life. With the help of some scissors, hair dye, and a spiffy new outfit, Jose Antonio went from scruffy street dweller to classy hipster, and could hardly recognise himself afterwards.

Jose, known affectionately as Josete by locals in his native Palma, spent 25 years living on the street. Salva Garcia, owner of La Salvajeria hair salon, invited Jose to come and get cleaned up. When they uncovered the mirror to show him his freshly trimmed beard and lush brown hair, he began to sob. “My God… Is this me?” He exclaims in a video of the transformation produced by the salon.

Brimming with joy, Jose hit the town. Locals who were used to his former appearance gasped in shock, shouting compliments from afar. La Salvajeria has since revealed to Spanish TV stations that Jose is now receiving financial assistance from an unnamed company and is off the streets. “It wasn’t just a change of look. It changed my life,” he told reporters.

More info: (h/t)

Jose Antonio lived on the streets of Palma, Spain, for 25 years

homeless-man-transformation-jose-antonio-3

He was well-known by locals and helped many park their cars in the town’s main square for a small wage

Salva Garcia, owner of La Salvajeria hair salon, invited Jose to come in and get cleaned up for free

homeless-man-transformation-jose-antonio-4

This was no easy task, as Jose’s long and scruffy hair – including his beard – had to be chopped and tamed

Jose’s hair was also dyed dark brown, since a more youthful appearance could help him find a better job

homeless-man-transformation-jose-antonio-9

Locals also provided Jose with a crisp new white shirt, and a pair of cropped red pants

homeless-man-transformation-jose-antonio-15

He asked the salon’s mirror to be covered until his makeover was finished

homeless-man-transformation-jose-antonio-18

When they finally opened it, Jose was overcome by emotion and began to sob

homeless-man-transformation-jose-antonio-01

He was barely recognisable from before. “My God… Is this me?” He loudly exclaimed

homeless-man-transformation-jose-antonio-6

Brimming with joy, Jose hit the town, and flaunted all of his newfound ‘hipster’ glory

“It wasn’t just a change of look. It changed my life,” he told Spanish reporters about his transformation

Locals had to do a double-take just to realise who he was, but showered him with compliments nonetheless

I have mixed feelings about this. The hair dye is kind of a cheat. He is whatever age he is. Dye has to be professionally maintained and he can't afford to do that. I hope that the unnamed company giving him financial assistance is going to get him oral hygiene and teeth replacement. Getting a job is almost impossible with a rotting mouth. It's also a huge health issue.

People, he is confident. Confidently interacting with anyone. Now all those who gave him the thumbs up and gave him hugs after his new look... interacted with him daily while he had the scruffy look... took him for what he is. A helpful, kind friendly man.... which made kind and helpful business people want to do something nice for someone who has nothing but a warm heart. For all those naysayers and negative thinking people and those born with a silver spoon in your mouth and hand....I truly hope life will always be kind to you and you will never have a reason to fall into depression and end up on the street and have a chance to appreciate what you do have today.

I'm not sure it's a gift: he will see his hair dye fading day after day and his "old" self take place again. It's horrible!

Very nice outcome...but it seems like his manners, speech and behaviors remain intact. Should change that slightly. Then, he will be PERFECT AND A NEW CREATION!

Frankly I liked his long grey beard much better though his hair looked like a rat's nest. But he seems happy with it, so great!

A beard and some stylish clothes does not equal a hipster. You do him a disservice.

Made him look like a hipster? Honestly, some people treat the homeless like they aren't human. (Joke, I actually help homeless people.)

Read the text please. He gets financial aid now and is off the street. Sometimes it's really the little things.

Homeless Man’s Unbelievable Transformation Into “Hipster” Makes Him Burst Into Tears

Jose Antonio lived on the streets of Palma, Spain, for 25 years

He was well-known by locals and helped many park their cars in the town’s main square for a small wage

Salva Garcia, owner of La Salvajeria hair salon, invited Jose to come in and get cleaned up for free

This was no easy task, as Jose’s long and scruffy hair – including his beard – had to be chopped and tamed

Jose’s hair was also dyed dark brown, since a more youthful appearance could help him find a better job

Locals also provided Jose with a crisp new white shirt, and a pair of cropped red pants

He asked the salon’s mirror to be covered until his makeover was finished

When they finally opened it, Jose was overcome by emotion and began to sob

He was barely recognisable from before. “My God… Is this me?” He loudly exclaimed

Brimming with joy, Jose hit the town, and flaunted all of his newfound ‘hipster’ glory

“It wasn’t just a change of look. It changed my life,” he told Spanish reporters about his transformation

Locals had to do a double-take just to realise who he was, but showered him with compliments nonetheless

Watch Jose’s journey below in a video produced by La Salvajeria:
