As we told you a few months ago, Brennan Jones is a Philadelphia barber whose acts of kindness have gone viral. Jones has made it his mission to give free haircuts to the homeless people of his city and community, all year long.

“I’ll be out here every day that I can. I'll go out to West Philly, North Philly, every section of Philadelphia, Chester, Camden and cut hair," Jones said in an interview earlier this year with BOTWC.

For Brennan, this service has been food to the soul, helping so many. “Me personally, I think I surpassed a thousand haircuts, so many I stopped counting. So it’s been a good year so far,” he told FOX 29 recently.

However, there was one problem. Jones does his cuts outside, and like most cities on the East Coast, Philadelphia gets very, very cold in the winter.

Brennan worried that once the snow hit, he would not be able to continue his passion project. That worry evaporated when a stranger stepped up with their own act of kindness.

Sean Johnson is a barber in Philadelphia as well. His own shop, Taper's Barbershop has found success. So much success that Johnson began looking around for space for a second location. He found one. But when he heard about Jones' work, he said, "Well I need to be part of that. I need to see what I can do to help."

“[Johnson] said listen, I’ve got a building I want you to come check out," Jones said. "He said, 'Do you like this place?' I said, 'Yeah I like it.' He tossed me the key and said it’s yours.”

Johnson identified with Jones and his work ethic. He first learned to cut hair while in prison.

“When I was in there, I went to school, learned how to cut hair. My mother paid for my license, and I’m not gonna let my mom down,” Johnson said.

“It wasn’t about me giving a barbershop," Johnson added. "When you look at the homeless and the things that they need, I looked at it as more. I built something and I want to see it keep going and I want to see it do a great thing".

Jones' brick and mortar shop will open this month, and will have set days where Jones exclusively service the homeless.

“I just continue to rely on my faith. God brought me this far I know he’s not gonna leave me now,” Jones said.
