Actions speak louder than words. Actions become actions of solidarity that fight the vehicles of loneliness, sickness, disease, tough times, and isolation. A man with cancer loses it when a barber first shaved the man’s head, and then he turned the clippers on himself.

Cancer is one of the most debilitating and isolating diseases to fight. It affects every aspect of your life and eventually, it will alter your appearance as your hair falls out as a side effect of chemotherapy.
So when Neftali Martin was diagnosed with cancer, he made the decision to be proactive about his locks of hair. Instead of waiting for his hair to fall out in clumps, he opted to have his friend and coworker Joel Ortega shave his head for him.
As barbers, both Neftali and Joel have a passion for hair -- including their own. Joel knew his friend was facing a tough road and he didn’t want him to feel alone.
