KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — A cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy was startled by the barbers who shaved their heads to give moral support and indicate that she is not alone.

Caroline Ross,58 who began losing hair after her treatment that made her look like Worzel Gummidge, went to Huntsman Barbers, in Blaby, Leicester, United Kingdom to bald her head and was eventually surprised by the barbers’ kindness.

In a video, the 30-year-old barber, Bica, shaved her thinning blonde hair with clippers till he paused to say that he doesn’t want to leave her alone while his cousin Kledian Peci, 21 shaved his head to support her.

In amusement, Ross clenched her hands over her mouth and shouted "no way”when Peci, who was standing behind her, shaved his head before Baci.

People have also reacted to her appreciation post on Instagram with pleasant acknowledgements in the comment section.   

"I love this! People coming together to support each other. This is what it should be like. Strangers doing this for another stranger going through chemo. 

‘It warms my heart and shows me that there is still good in the world. I’m sorry for what you’re going through and I hope and pray for a full recovery for you,” commented a user.

"How amazing, sending hugs to three of you,” said another person.

Ross also said that she didn’t expect the barbers to do such amazing things which made her walk with pride, reported Mail Online.

"I didn’t expect it at all. It was incredible. It took my mind off me having my head shaved. It was an emotional moment and that put me at ease. 

"I was more shocked about him cutting his hair than I was about how my hair looked. It was overwhelming and I felt quite teary.

"What lovely lads. I’m still shocked and it’s still making me smile,” she said.

Regarding this, Baci said that he was aware of the reason why Ross walked into his barber shop and he asked for his cousin’s help to join in his effort.

"Once I’d heard why she was here I just thought about the idea at that moment.

"I didn’t want her to find out so I spoke to my cousin in my own language and he was more than happy so we just took it from there. It was nice to see she was so surprised. 

‘It just turned her mood from negative to positive and everywhere she’s going to go she’s going to talk about it. That’ll make things easier for her,” he said.
