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
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
Do something without condition!
Here are some before-after pictures of his work
Transformation for Paul, 54 years old. He's been homeless for 5 years now. Great to meet him #DoSomethingForNothing
Barcelona trip to #DoSomethingForNothing last week, met some incredible humans. Big thanks to Arrels + @Homelessfonts for all of your love 💛
The project atarted in April 2015 and is getting bigger and stronger! Many are joining Joshua on his mission: they started giving out food, musicians are jamming together, flowers are given away to passing pedestrians, and much more. They are inviting you: Become aware of your helping hand!
Great news! I think I saw something similar in Australia as well
