HAIRCUTS FOR THE HOMELESS | Fung Bros

What's good, everybody? Andrew from the Fung Bros here. Right now, I am on the outskirts of downtown Los Angeles, and in this video, we are talking about haircuts. I've actually teamed up with a group of professional mobile barbers who, in their off time, spend their time serving the Los Angeles County's homeless population. Out of their own pocket, they are giving haircuts to homeless people. This is a really dope movement, and when I heard about it, I knew this was a video that we had to make. They're called the Cutsmiths. Let's check them out. I'm here with the owners and founders of the Cutsmiths trailer, John and Mikey. What's up? Yo, real quick, behind us, what am I looking at? We have a 2006 Airstream that we built from the ground up. We basically took an Airstream, we gutted it out, and we built a barbershop out of it. It's kind of like a food truck, but for haircutting, you know what I'm saying? The heartbeat of Cutsmiths is basically restoring the hope to the homeless, living generously, and being innovative. For us, it's our responsibility to come out and help the people that need to be inspired, need to be encouraged, and with one cut, man, it cleans them up, and they can feel so much better about themselves, and they can go into a job interview, they could walk tall, they could, you know, like how their life changed. I've never seen anybody walk out of a barbershop with a fresh haircut and not feel different about themselves. That's true. All right, everybody, if you guys want more information or want to join the movement and get involved, definitely check out the links down below, but right now, let's clean up the streets. Yo, we're inside the trailer. Guys, can I get a quick tour? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So right here, we got a three-chair barbershop, full service, three sinks. Yo, you guys got even sinks, man? I know some barbershops that have a storefront that don't have sinks. Yeah, exactly. You're supposed to. Yo, this is fun. Do you guys ever have parties in here? Not very much. Barber party? Haircut party? Haircut parties. We have extra pairs of clippers that we use, because we don't want to use the same clippers that we use on our regular clients. Right. So we want to take the precautions we need. And, hey, I recognize these. I was doing a clipper giveaway on my Instagram, and that's how we met. You hit me up, and you were like, yo, I could use this pair to give homeless people some haircuts. I was like, dope, let's do it. What's in the sanitary packs? Can we take a look at this real quick? Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay, so you got a toothbrush, you got a shaver, you got a granola bar, you got some gloves. Those dude wipes? Yup, dude wipes. Hey, that's so cool, man, that you guys are a business, you guys make real money, everybody's making a living, but you guys, you know, all the barbers here are volunteering their time to help people out. So Mikey, John, and Steven of the Cutsmiths, they're out asking people if they want to get haircuts. If they know anyone that needs a haircut, like, we're here right now. Oh, for real? All right, Martin. It's not a... I usually put these on. It's like this? Yeah. So I had to put it on like that. You can use this one, but... You're fine, I just... I don't know what I'm doing. All right, let's try it. I'm working on it, don't worry. I never use this one. Is it like this? Yeah. Shout out to the wall. Magic clip. When was the last time you got a haircut, Martin? I got three months. I feel like anybody who gets a haircut, you know, they feel good afterwards. Martin, are you ready to see yourself? What do you think, man? Good? Hey, Martin, best of luck. Thank you. Thanks. This is our heart as a married couple, just to give back to people. And it's so cool to see someone so passionate to just make someone feel great. I'm a professional makeup artist, so I know all about making people feel amazing and women feeling empowered. And to see men do it for other men, it's incredible. I'm so proud. It totally empowers you when you see yourself in a cleaned up way or just a professional way. You see who you want to be and you're excited to be that person. It inspires you and you feel like you can conquer the world when you feel amazing and you look amazing and people react to that. They see you differently. They see you in a better way because you're taking care of yourself. So having Mikey and John and Cut and Smith be here, it's empowering these men to be excited about life and hopefully take those steps to move forward. I will say Lupe right there in the chair getting her hair done looks very natural. She almost looks like she belongs in a makeup chair, like she was a star or something, you know, to have dreams of entertainment. And I think she's still got it, man. She's still got that star power. Look at her. I definitely believe giving haircuts is very impactful. People need food and shelter first and foremost. But you know, when it comes down to like how they feel about themselves and identity, even things like this can really help. So that's why I really respect you guys and shout out to you guys for donating your time and also allowing me to hop on this and get involved and film this video. So it was really dope. All right, everybody. Thank you so much for watching that video. If you guys want more information, definitely check out the links down below. These guys are called the Cutsmiths. And until next time, we out. Peace. That's the actual barber chair. Was that already there? Oh, no, we brought it. Oh, you brought it out. Okay. Because I was like, what is a barber chair doing right there?
