Barber goes out of his way to give man in wheelchair haircut

BROCKTON, Mass. — While driving down the Main Street in Brockton Thursday, there was an unusual sight on the sidewalk.

A barber had plugged his clippers into an outdoor outlet and was giving a man in a wheelchair a haircut.

The photo shows there are stairs going into the barbershop, meaning the man in the wheelchair wouldn't have been able to go in.

Ryan Jones took a photo and shared it in The Brockton Hub's Facebook group. 

"This barber could have easily said, 'sorry bud I can't get you in because you're in that wheelchair,' but instead he accommodated that man and did what he had to do to make sure he had a fresh-cut," Jones wrote.

Jones told FOX25 the barbershop is called Bester Styles Family Barber Shop and is located at 73 Pleasant St. He hopes that business takes off for the man.

After so many people shared the photo, someone started a GoFundMe to install a handicap ramp at the barber shop.
