[&#8230;] You go back to what\u2019s familiar and what you know. If the streets are all you know and the people that are on it, yeah, you\u2019re gonna keep going back to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this powerful short film, <i>The Regulars: Sidewalks Into Salons<\/i>, we meet a man who is still very much a professional hairstylist \u2014 he just doesn\u2019t get paid.<\/p>\n<p>J.C.\u00a0challenges our assumptions about people who don\u2019t have permanent housing in an eloquent, even poetic way. I found myself both laughing <i>and <\/i>crying while watching this! He\u2019s\u00a0truly a compassionate, selfless individual who just wants to give back to the people who need it most. And for the past 18 years, he\u2019s been diligently lending his scissors to cut the hair of the homeless. Unlike\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlethings.com\/mark-bustos-homeless-haircuts\/?&amp;utm_source=awa\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Bustos<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlethings.com\/barber-cuts-homeless-hair\/?&amp;utm_source=awa\" target=\"_blank\">Joshua Coombes<\/a>, however, J.C. is currently without permanent housing himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you really feel good, it\u2019s amazing what you can do,\u201d he says about his work, and that certainly shines through in his muses. J.C.\u2019s friend Skye had a priceless reaction when he styled her hair, but I won\u2019t spoil it for you.
