Many of the local residents became familiar with José and his situation. When the salon La Salvajeria learned about José's circumstances, they decided to offer a free makeover to a local resident in order to celebrate their three-year anniversary. José Antonio was chosen as the local who was most in need.
The salon caught the entire transformation on camera. The stylist started giving José's long hair more contour and body. José's beard was trimmed and colored to match his hair. He was also given a new wardrobe.
When José's transformation was finally revealed, he couldn't believe what he saw. After shedding a few tears and using some colorful language, José finally accepted his new appearance with pride.
“This is incredible, is this me? I’m so different, no-one’s going to recognize me unless I tell them who I am.”
It is comforting to know that José is still sporting this look today and has even found his way off of the streets. He is currently working and has a permanent place to call home.
There is no doubt that this makeover helped José build enough self-confidence to change his life for the better. He had been working successfully as an electrician when he started suffering from depression.
José was unable to continue working because of his mental state. This eventually left José begging on the street for a living. His transformation is a reminder that some people need a little help in order to make a big difference.
