This Christmas season, local digital marketer and content creator Aidan James Loo (@aidanjloo) has taken it in his hands, quite literally, to spread festive joy to the residents living in Haig Road.
In a TikTok posted earlier today (Dec 24), Aidan shared a minute-long video of himself giving out free haircuts for Christmas at a HDB void deck. He wrote: “Thankful for the gift of being able to give. Merry Christmas y’all!”
Armed with nothing more than his barbering tools, a plastic chair, and a sheet of tarp, Aidan got to work while the sun was still up. He trimmed the hair of nine residents in total, wrapping up only at 9.30pm.
Throughout the day, he greeted his “customers” — many of whom were elderly — with a warm smile. He even thoughtfully switched from an electric clipper to scissors when one elderly man was “afraid of the sound”. In return, he was met with grateful smiles and well wishes from those he helped.
