Here's how this hairdresser helped an autistic child
Mason is 4 years old, and since he was 18 months, he hasn't allowed anyone to get close to his hair. The child has a form of autism that makes him fear scissors and a barber's chair.
James, the Welsh guy who literally managed to cut us down, took months to find the best way to approach his little client.
Mason wouldn't let me get close to his ears: he ran away! I needed to find another solution ...
James then combined Mason's love for smartphones and floors, lay down on the ground and finally managed to tame the boy's thick hair: he never thought he would have to work in a position like this!

When we were done I asked Mason to high-five me but, instead, I got a hug.
James was recommended to Mason's family because he was extremely patient with children and their choice turned out to be a winner: the little one has an enviable haircut!
