It takes a special kind of skill to cut the hair of a child in motion, but with creativity and a steady hand, this barber went above and beyond to get the job done.
A video of Ree running back and forth following Jackson in the barbershop hair to buzz his hair has more than 4.5 million likes on TikTok.
Knowing that Jackson gets overstimulated by the sounds of clippers and loud voices in traditional barbershops, Ree decided to turn his session into a game. When she saw he was wearing a Super Mario shirt and had a matching toy with him, the barber told Jackson he needed to"protect Mario" by making sure no hair got on him and buzzed Jackson's hair as he ran around.
Erinna describes Jackson, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder just before his 3rd birthday, as a playful, energetic, and artistic child. At times, she said she believes her son is often judged by others who do not understand the behaviors of living with autism, making everyday tasks more challenging. That's why Ree's actions meant so much to her.
