On anniversary of young barbers death, his friends gave haircuts in Minneapolis homeless community

A dozen stylists from Shifty’s Premium Cuts provided free haircuts to homeless individuals at Peace House Community in Minneapolis, marking the anniversary of founder Nathaniel Sheferaw's death. Sheferaw aimed to expand his shop to create jobs and serve the community, a mission continued by his brother Germay. Rand Satoskar, a homeless man, looked forward to receiving a proper summer shave as professional barbers offered their services. Volunteer Charlie Quimby usually provides haircuts but can only accommodate a limited number of clients weekly. Kenzie Johnson, who has personal experience with homelessness, facilitated the connection between the barbers and Peace House.

She emphasized the importance of treating people with dignity and fostering human connections. The event underscored the ongoing demand for grooming services among low-income and homeless individuals. Such initiatives not only provide practical assistance but also contribute to restoring dignity and self-worth within the community.
