GOOD NEWS! - Joshua Coombes - Do Something Without Condition!

in #goodnews7 years ago (edited)

Joshua Coombes is a hairdresser in London. After leaving his shop, he takes his scissor, razor, comb and hairdresser´s cape with him - because he´s out for a mission.
His mission is simple, Joshua does what he can do best, cutting hairs. But this time, he does it without taking money. He´s changing his salon for the streets of London.

Appointments are given away spontaneously, especially for those who are easily overseen by their surrounding. Yes, he´s cutting hairs for homeless people. Free of charge. No matter if man or woman, young or old. He shaves them all. He cuts, talks and creates with humans. Together they have a good time

Use love as your currency this weekend and you're bound to have a good one x #DoSomethingFornothing – writes Joshua on his Twitter

30 year old Joshua says: It´s easy to donate money to a noble cause, but it´s more rewarding to create awareness.“ The idea for this came when Joshua Coombesvisit to New York. There he saw a hairdresser cutting the hairs of an homeless person. He was inspired and brought the idea to London where everything began.

A friend of Joshua photographer Matt Spracklen is accompanying him during his mission to keep records of the transformation a haircut can bring. Joshua adds the photographs to his Instagram account and writes some short texts and backgrounds to the people using the hashtag # DoSomethingForNothing which he was trying to raise awareness of
