In Nybro, the hairdresser Ahmed Salman, like many others, works full time before Christmas. In his free time, however, he doesn’t have much free time, because he is also out at the city’s nursing homes where he gives the residents free haircuts so that they can feel a little extra nice in honor of the holiday.
Ahmed says that he wants to give a “Christmas present” to elderly people who may not be able to get to the hairdresser themselves or do not have the financial means to get a haircut.
– It is a good way to give something back after they have done a lot for society. I usually say that Santa sent me and then they are very happy, he says.
