Life is a roller coaster ride for most of us. But for some of us, the coaster doesn’t quite take a full circle and life can be exceptionally tough. One such man is Spain’s Jose Antonio. He was homeless and had been working as an unlicensed car parking attendant, helping people find a parking space.
But his life took a new turn when a salon owner offered him a makeover.
To everyone’s surprise, the grooming worked like magic and Jose turned into a gorgeous looking man!
55-year-old Jose Antonio was an electrician before he suffered depression and ended up being homeless. After the stylists were done doing his hair and beard, he exclaimed in disbelief and said:
“F***, My God, this is incredible, is this me? I’m so different, no-one’s going to recognize me unless I tell them who I am.”
Antonio’s transformation wasn’t a surprise for him alone. Even the local bar owner, who knew him from his day job, failed to recognize him while serving a beer.
The 55-year-old looked every bit dapper in his crisp white shirt, red drainpipe trousers paired with white sneakers, and a pair of designer shades. He even received a few compliments from some women passers-by.
As reported by the Daily Mail, hair salon owner Salva Garcia revealed that an anonymous company has also given financial assistance to Jose Antonio. He no more lives on the streets and is now looking for a full-time job.
In his own words:
“It wasn’t just a change of look. It changed my life. What I want now is a proper job.”
