Kindhearted Barber in the UK receives great praise on social media after he adapted his routine in order to cut the hair of a little autistic boy who is afraid of haircuts




A barber in the UK has received great praise for his kindhearted nature after he adapted his normal work routine to accommodate a little autistic boy who is afraid of getting his haircut.

The man named James Williams from Port Talbot Wales, has received applause from many on social media, after he cleverly decided to make sure he didn’t upset the young boy named Mason by cutting his hair on the floor because it was the position the young boy felt most comfortable. The news of Williams kindhearted gesture went viral after Williams himself posted an image that was taken in his barber shop on Facebook along with the story as to what happened, Williams wrote that the little boy Mason was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder a few months ago and wasn’t having any of his attempts to cut his hair.

Williams further explained that little Mason would run off and refuse to stay still, so he had to come up with an innovative way to make it happen. However after a number of attempts little Mason finally let him lie on the floor and cut his hair from there. The barber also added that once he had given him the finishing touch, he went in for a high five but got a hug instead.

What a guy a true gentleman who truly does offer excellent customer service.
