Turning your life around doesn't start with a new hobby or job; these are the results. The change begins with the person, more specifically, their hair. At least that's what Jason Schneidman thinks. However, once you check out the evidence he has collected over the years backing up this claim, it's hard to disagree.
Schneidman, now 50, has been cutting hair since he was 14 years old, and he has always remained passionate about it—he said the first time he cut hair, he thought the whole transformation was amazing, and has enjoyed contributing to making people change.
One day, he and his business partner went out with a backpack and cordless clippers, and kept asking homeless people on the streets of Hollywood Boulevard if they needed haircuts. Fast forward five years, and their initiative has evolved into a movement to help the homeless.
Eventually, Schneidman started a nonprofit organization called THEMENSGROOMER. Now, he and his team host big events in Venice, California, where the homeless can get haircuts, food, and socks donated from people all over the world who follow and support Schneidman through the Internet.

A Subtle transformation in the grooming department here for David but major transformation in the Opportunity department ! while cutting David’s hair today , we discussed his current situation of homelessness and no job. A woman named Joan who works with @foodonfootla . Who’s been seeing David around the community, offered him a job and housing. David also was givin a cell phone from the source a local service here in LA, where we were cutting hair today. that’s what it’s all about everyone doing a little in order to help out a lot !! Another great day of #love and #service #helpthehomeless #themensgroomer ps.special thanks to all the hair people that came out today to help, we had an awesome turn out !!! I
