Life is full of injustice: many people are born less fortunate than others, while others face such difficult obstacles that they end up in poverty and are unable to reintegrate into “normal” life. Not only do many homeless have a permanent home, but worse, they no longer have family, jobs, or friends.

João Coelho Guimarães, a 45-year-old man, knows these things very well. He hit the streets three years ago and hadn’t seen his family in ten years. One day he went into a barbershop and asked if he could borrow a razor to shorten his beard. However, the owner of the barbershop and the employees decided to make him an even nicer gift.

Alessandro cut his hair and trimmed his beard, but the other hairdressers also wanted to help João: some bought him new pants, three T-shirts, a jacket, and a new pair of shoes. João washed and perfumed himself during a day dedicated only to him.

His living conditions on the streets were not the best, but with the help of the barber, he managed to transform his appearance considerably.

We know that the problem of poverty and homelessness cannot be solved by a simple haircut and a new T-shirt, but it is a start. João’s new look, for example, could help him find a job and integrate into society. In fact, in João’s case, something really wonderful happened.

Two hours later, João was unrecognizable…

The man’s reaction when he looked in the mirror was quite impressive. Although he did not say many words, his tears were genuine. All the staff was amazed to find out how beautiful João was, not only in the soul but also on the outside.

After giving him “a day of care”, the salon shared photos of this incredible transformation, allowing many Internet users to know a part of this man’s story.

Thanks to photos posted on social networks, João’s family was able to find him. They hadn’t heard from him in ten years, and they even thought he was dead. We can only imagine the incredible reaction and excitement of seeing him again after so long!

A real model!

Maria Coelho, his sister, recognized him and hurried to meet him. She had been waiting for ten years to receive a sign from him, and at one point she even thought he was dead.

Exciting meeting with his sister

João was also very excited during the family reunion

We hope that this transformation will be the beginning of a new life for him!
