Former Stanford employee now cuts hair for homeless
The former head of Stanford's Digital Language Lab is now a barber using his talents to help the homeless.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - The former head of Stanford's Digital Language Lab is now a barber, using his talents to help the homeless.
Joseph Kautz visits encampments offering his services to anyone in need.
He says a new hair cut makes recipients feel better about themselves, and they can get a new outlook on life.
He calls his non-profit, Tent City Barbers, and he posts some of his work on TikTok.
His haircuts began in 2019 as he was finishing a cosmetology class in San Mateo.
