In an act of solidarity, a hairdresser shaved his hair for his long-time customer fighting cancer. A video shows not just his gesture, but the customer’s reaction to it. While some were left teary-eyed after watching the clip, others shared they were praying for the woman fighting cancer.
The video is posted on the Instagram page Goodnews Movement. “Hairdresser's friend/client for the last 10 years is fighting cancer and undergoing chemotherapy,” they wrote.
They also shared a quote from the hairdresser. “I would never let you go through this difficult time alone. I want you to know, my friend, that you are not alone in this fight! It's just a phase, hair will grow back and we're in this together! I had never let my hair grow so long, it took more than 2 years of care and growth, maybe it was for this purpose, to support you during this difficult time!” he shared.
The video opens to show him shaving his customer’s hair, and she is visibly in tears. After a few seconds, the hairdresser uses a shaver to shave his head too. Once the woman notices it, she breaks down into tears and hugs him.
