Victor Burgos was working at Joe¡¯s Upscale Barber Shop in Webster, N.Y., when he turned into an overnight sensation all because of one kind gesture. He is being lauded for making accommodations to style a customer's hair outside of his non-wheelchair-accessible shop.
Hairstylist Victor Burgos, 34, of Webster, was photographed giving a trim to a man in a wheelchair in front of the shop after the man had trouble getting inside.
¡°It¡¯s about making sure everyone gets a proper grooming,¡± Burgos told InsideEdition.com.? Joe's Upscale Barber Shop in Webster posted photos of staffer Victor Burgos and an unnamed male customer to Facebook, where they have since gone viral. ¡°A few days ago at the shop, we had a man in a wheelchair come to the shop on a recommendation. Unfortunately we are not handicapped accessible."
"Then our phone rang. It¡¯s was the man outside looking for a way to come in,¡± the shop manager wrote online. ¡°Instead of telling him we couldn¡¯t do it because we are not handicapped accessible, Victor Burgos went outside with his tools and cut his hair on the sidewalk.¡±
¡°I couldn¡¯t be happier to work and know a person of such kind nature as Victor. I¡¯m proud to know that even when I¡¯m not around, our staff will go out of their way."
"Just to make someone happy!! He did not have to do this,¡± the manager continued. ¡°Vic is one of our busiest barbers and is always busy. So Vic, thank you for being that [guy] and not only always proving what type of person you are but also being a CLASS ACT.¡±
Ever since their photos went viral on Facebook, community members have been setting up crowdfunding to help the barbershop get a ramp.
