Last summer， Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light， where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help.She rolled down her window.
"Hey!" she shouted. "I'm driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now？" "Actually，" the man said， "I was really hoping to get a haircut."
"I'll be right back，" Steller said. She drove off，went to the salon she owns，and recruited one of her stylists to help her load a red chair into her car. Then the two of them drove back，and trimmed the man's curly graying hair. He told them about growing up in Mississippi，about moving to be closer to his adult children， and how he still talks to his mom every day. After Steller was done， the man looked in a mirror，"I look good!" he said.
To date，Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These people are all living on the margins， and she is keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
"It's more than a haircut，" she says，"I want it to be a gateway，to show value and respect，but also to get to know people and build relationships." Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. "Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked，" she says. "I thought maybe I'd go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can't fix their problems，but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment."
Steller listens to people's stories of loss， addiction， and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention apparently works. When she was cutting a woman's hair one day， someone drove by and yelled，"You look amazing!" The woman in the chair smiled. "I'm not invisible，" she exclaimed. "I thought I was invisible. Look， people see me!"
And it all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness，such as a free haircut. "The way you show up in the world matters，" says Steller. "You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them."
