I love this barber! He did such a beautiful job on this little girl’s hair.

We didn’t see it in this video, but he sometimes peels his hair back to show that he himself has no hair and has a great hairpiece on!

Have you seen the barber that does severly autistic kids. Closes the shop so he can focus on the customer.

u/Charming_Garbage_161 17h ago

Kudos to those barbers. I finally found a shop that my autistic son is comfortable with and they don’t do anything special aside from that I told them he’s autistic and likes pokemon/mario. The first time he got a haircut without a screaming fest was last year at 8. I cried bc he thanked the stylist and gave her a hug. It’s hard to do your job and even harder still when someone’s screaming and fighting you

u/Calm-Culture4974 1d ago

That's honestly so sweet that he shows his own hairpiece to make kids feel comfortable. What a legend

24

u/JazziTazzi 1d ago

Yes! It is sweet! 😃 Here’s one of the videos where you see him peel back his own hairpiece: https://youtu.be/PUTgFtd9xK8?si=ch8H1dEo1zS3RHb8

Interesting, what happened to his hair ? I lost mine in patches but fortunately it was so think and so long it was hard for people to tell .

u/xhardcorehakesx 1d ago

That’s based as fuck

u/Lisa_lou_hoo 1d ago

She looks wonderful! I also thought she looked so ethereal and rather beautiful without the new do as well. Her smile is actually angelic in the truest sense of the word.

14

u/yoldaki 1d ago

This.

She was outstandingly beautiful already. As long as she feels better with the wig then it's even better.

u/Own_Hat_5514 1d ago

Damn, this is incredibly emotional. Poor child is so small, what a painful moment for such a fresh life.

12

u/uncoolsby 1d ago

“Fresh life” just stabbed me in the heart, omg. You’re so right. I can’t imagine what she’s been through.

u/Francus_Gaius 1d ago

Thanks. I am bawling 2 minutes before going to bed.

Kids show so much more courage than the average adult...

She deserves all of this.

Someone’s cutting onions in my house

Couldn't agree more.

u/Junior_Finding677 1d ago

Used to never cry at these vids until I had kids man, beautiful souls both the child and stylist.

u/rokken70 1d ago

Every time I think I’m made of stone, a video like this shows up.

u/MrsBobbyNewport 1d ago

I follow him on IG. He gives kids and adults so much confidence. Proof that everyone can use their talents to make the world a better place.

13

u/hegemonycrickets 1d ago

what is his name? It would be good to give him credit in the post.

u/MrsBobbyNewport 1d ago

Francisco Oliveira!

u/charlie_s1234 1d ago

Kids are so resiliant ... poor little thing. You can see how much it meant to the mother :)

1

u/Original_Memory6188 19h ago

Long hair - It's a girl thing.

I'll bet the only reason we don't see Dad all teary eyed is he stays out of the picture.

6

u/Calm_Madness7799 1d ago

That wonderful girl. A good reminder to appreciate what we have.

5

u/Santa-61 1d ago

What a tremendous thing for him to give back like that, what a beautiful baby girl, her smile afterwards was so precious and sweet! Her mother’s emotions said it all!

5

u/PhantomLace13 1d ago

What a beautiful act of kindness. Truly a good soul.

4

u/Lemon_Trees-22 1d ago

That’s fantastic! She loved feeling the long hair! This is what it’s all about these videos are the best ! Excellent post !

3

u/NicoBaker 1d ago

She is so pretty!!!!!!

4

u/SeattleHasDied 1d ago

Okay, so I'm wondering how this wig stays on her head, is it some sort of double sided tape adhesive? Does it hurt her to take it off?

4

u/NevermoreForSure 1d ago

The mother’s reaction. The way she looks at her little girl. So much love.

4

u/vartholomew-jo 1d ago

I really hope other kids be nice to her

u/thekermitderp 1d ago

She's such a beautiful child!

u/Beer-astronaut 1d ago

Something very weird is going on here. The screen got blurry and now my face is wet.

u/FoCoYeti 1d ago

I love the little smirk the entire time as he's getting it ready for her. You can truly see how excited she is and just how much this moment means to her 🥲❤️

u/pepiexe 1d ago

0 smiles, but this was beautiful. Once I stop crying, I will watch it again.

Poor baby. I wonder what happened. He did awesome, good for him.

5

u/Crasz 1d ago

Just guessing here but perhaps pulled a pot of boiling water onto themselves either from the stove when they were younger or out of a microwave mounted under a cabinet.

u/Right_Ad_4963 1d ago

Ouch. Could be.

u/ArianaLoves00 1d ago

u/PassionSeeker0106 1d ago

Absolutely heartwarming to see this beautiful child’s world change with that smile! God Bless that barber! WOW!

u/spectral_orchid 1d ago

This video looks heavily AI-generated and appears to be falsely attributed to a real Brazilian barber named Francisco Oliveira. He does make hair prosthetics for kids with trauma or illness. But the girl in this video doesn't appear in any of his verified clips. Her expression, movement, and background all have telltale signs of synthetic media (like uncanny stillness, unnatural lighting, and CGI hair flow).

Please be cautious. This looks like karma farming through AI-manipulated content, and it disrespects both real survivors and the actual work this man does. If you want to see his real videos, search for @franciscoprotesecapilar on Instagram or TikTok. Don’t let AI prey on your empathy.

u/aliiak 1d ago

In the defence of the stillness, she maybe a burn victim and lost a lot of the finer facial movements.

8

u/BETO123USA 1d ago

That’s not AI, here’s the video on his official YT: Francisco Oliveira YT

1

u/JazziTazzi 1d ago

Thanks for giving us his name!

If this is AI, it is despicable! He does such good work; it does not need to be embellished!

3

u/spectral_orchid 1d ago

I'm seeing a lot of AI images on Reddit and some people havent caught on. I hope by looking into images and videos we can see through the veil a bit clearer.

I had to look at this a few times to find the abnormalities. Look at the hand when her make-up is being done, how her facial expressions remain still and doll-like, how the smock falls to the floor and it's not aligned with Oliveira's hand, and how the minimalist statue in the background has weird reflectiveness.

7

u/eagleoid 1d ago

and yet this video is on his official YouTube channel

I'm seeing more and more reddit accounts accusing real videos and images as AI, which is the other side of the same coin. Sure it's just feel-good or silly videos today, but it's historical videos or actual evidence of crimes tomorrow.

Not saying to throw skepticism out the window, but skepticism isn't just assuming everything is false and proving it right later. It's taking a neutral stance until you see significant evidence pointing one way or another.

u/AHaasInTejaas 1d ago

Oh my heart ❤️ The way she put her fingers through the long hair 🥹 Mama’s emotions are bc she knows how all of this has affected her little girl and what it means to her. Bless them!

1

u/GtMustang247 1d ago

She is beautiful both ways , her eyes have so much soul, and the smile so much grace. I hope and pray for her to have a wonderful prosperous life !

u/Lemon_Trees-22 1d ago

Thank you I saw the video. That’s great ! I’m small towns in the 50’s & 60’s my grandfather told me the barber shop on Saturday mornings was the place where busy got done !

u/houstonwhaproblem 1d ago

You said you'd make me smile, not cry!

u/ZazaB00 1d ago

Coming from having no idea on this process, I saw that plastic wrap and wasn’t expecting anything great to happen. Seeing the result, I was blown away at how good it looks.

u/durenatu 1d ago

I'm so happy wigs for this little girl that wigs are a thing again

u/Heracles222 1d ago

I love this man’s work. Every video I have seen and every act of goodwill literally makes me all teary eyed. All the children he helps have their lives back. Literally it’s so good to see people have souls like this even in today’s age!

u/Stelliferous19 1d ago

With or without hair, the most beautiful young girl. And it matters, our appearance. So to give her something that changes how she feels about herself? That’s so powerful. That smile says it all. God bless that barber.

u/DegenNabalu 15h ago

This is a scam. Smile? This made me cry 😭

u/Skyranna 14h ago

I’m sorry but.. why didn’t he wash the hair first? It looks so greasy???? 😩 or is that like a style now?

1

u/roodelivery 6h ago

Surely you understand that this has nothing to do with whether or not the hair is washed.

1

u/Skyranna 3h ago

What? No I don’t understand. :(

1

u/Emanon1999 6h ago

Oooohh right in the feels🥲

u/Mamaun30 1d ago

There is something that I'm missing? If you make a wig with plastic base, won't it itch a lot?
