Haircuts for the Homeless

Hairstylist Joshua Coombes transforms Londoners' looks on a daily basis, and is making a difference at the same time. Coombes, who is originally a musician, gives haircuts to homeless people free of charge along the streets of London. His altruistic endeavor started late last year, when an idea sparked after he passed a homeless person on the street. Coombes hopes his work will inspire others to give back as well and document their random acts of kindness with the hashtag #DoSomethingForNothing. "I saw a vision where this could be a social goodwill movement, rather than just me cutting hair for homeless people," he said. "Everyone's got a compassionate side within themselves and I really believe that it's about waking that up in people sometimes." Coombes is putting that vision into practice with a day of giving back in London on July 9.
