Carey Knox works as an “intervention specialist” at an elementary school in Fresno, California. He teaches life skills and helps kids work through any issues they’re having. But now, he’s also a barber.
He went to school for it during the pandemic, and recently noticed a student hadn’t had a trim in a while. So he got permission from parents and his principal to start cutting kids’ hair at lunch for free. He says it’s been a boost for their self-esteem, and it gives him a chance to check in and build relationships.
