Hair angel in Verden: Homeless people are helped with free haircuts!

in Verden, a truly heartwarming event: the Barber Angels swung their scissors again and offered free haircuts! Last Saturday, the St. Josef parish hall turned into a place of hope and fresh start. Dilek Güvenc, a committed hairdresser, and her colleague Anja Singer, who acted as a "guest angel", ensured that many people could go home with a fresh look.

The Barber Angels, who have been active since 2016, have made a name for themselves throughout Germany and beyond. Your goal? Those who need the most necessary to return a piece. "I didn't even know that the Barber Angels also existed in Verden. I think that's a good idea," said Anja Singer, who was there for the first time. The demand was overwhelming: over ten people had registered for the haircuts, but many more came to be pampered by the talented hairdressers. As they were waiting, they were provided with coffee and sausages by the volunteers - a small gesture that gave great pleasure.

The atmosphere was full of anticipation and community spirit. Stem guest Eddie, who received his chic haircut from Anja Singer, beamed with joy. "The hair is like that too," he said happily. The 13-year-old Leon and his mother were also enthusiastic about the support of the Barber Angels. Dilek Güvenc, who wore her characteristic "cowl" during cutting hair, explained that this outfit serves to lower the guests' feeling of shame. "Homeless people also need their dignity, and a haircut is part of it," she emphasized.
