Free haircut for pensioners: This condition applies in Suhl!

In the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Suhl, the hair salon “Master Zebari” has initiated a remarkable offer for pensioners. How Focus According to reports, pensioners there receive free haircuts, but under one important condition: they are not allowed to receive more than 1,200 euros in pension per month. This special offer is aimed primarily at people who need support due to their financial situation.

The hair salon was founded in 2021 by Zedan Salih, a native of Iraq who came to Germany in 2015. Salih, who comes from a poor background, initially struggled to gain the trust of his customers. But his persistence and desire to help his community paid off. Today his business is experiencing good growth, which is also reflected in the opening of a second branch in Hildburghausen.

A ray of hope for many pensioners

Salih's commitment to pensioners, who often struggle with financial difficulties, is particularly impressive. Statistical data from the Federal Statistical Office show that over 4.4 million pensioners in Germany have to get by on an income of less than 1,500 euros per month. This is often close to or even below the poverty line. Considering these figures, “Master Zebari’s” offer is a truly commendable step to support these people.

Salih himself had to overcome a rocky path to realize his vision of owning his own salon. Difficulties in getting his training recognized and the corona pandemic posed major hurdles. Nevertheless, he persevered, working part-time jobs and even night shifts to secure his income while building his business at the same time.

The social responsibility of a hairdresser

The term “pensioner” refers to those people who are predominantly no longer employed and earn their living from a pension. This pension can include both statutory and private benefits. Retirement income varies greatly, as Salih's example shows. He wants to offer those who have less not only a service-oriented but also a socially valuable contribution.

What particularly appeals to Salih about his field of work is the opportunity to support people in difficult life situations. This commitment is reflected in the philosophy of his salon: community is the focus here and the hairdressers' potential for social responsibility is actively promoted. With a relaxed manner and professional service, Salih ensures that every customer feels well received.

“Master Zebari” not only shows how hairdressers can actively participate in the community, but also how important it is to show solidarity with those who are often overlooked in society. A service to people that is exemplary in the best sense of the word!
