An emotional video that shows the friendship between two hairdressers makes the tour on social media.
Neftali Martín and Joel Ortega both work at Lords and Barbers in Alicante, Spain. In a TikTok clip posted on April 8 by Martín, Ortega’s unexpected act of solidarity left Martín, who is fighting cancer, in tears.
In the video, Martín is shown sitting on Ortega’s barber chair with a striped dress, while Ortega shaves Martín’s head with a pair of cutters.
When Martín’s hair was clogged, Ortega shocked the cutters and began shaving his own head. Martín put his head in his hands and began to cry immediately. Ortega gave a proper buzzcut, but Martín was so excited that he barely managed to look up to see her.
“‘You’re not alone.’ These were the words of my great friend and colleague, immediately afterwards, he shaved his head telling me that until I grow up he will continue to shave with me “, Martin wrote in Spanish on Instagram.” For those who do not “I know him, Joel is not just a co-worker, a brother to me. I love you, brother.”
The video received over 10 million views and 2.5 million likes on TikTok.
“The man did not even hesitate to take his hair,” a user commented.
“We needed that restoration in humanity,” said another.
“Brother, don’t cry, you cry,” someone wrote.
