In addition to working at a salon frequented by high-profile customers like Norah Jones and Marc Jacobs, Mark has made a habit of giving free haircuts to the homeless.
He got the idea when he visited family in the Philippines a few years ago and witnessed the poverty there firsthand.
“The haircuts I give in the salon don’t differ at all from the haircuts I give on the street,” Mark says. Approaching each person by saying, “I want to do something nice for you today,” Mark uses his skills to make people look and feel good.
“Street Cuts” is a Fusion original web series that follows Mark as he hits the streets of South Beach in Miami. His goal is simple: to shine a light on the issue of homelessness and inspire viewers to #BeAwesomeToSomebody.
