Foxboro Barber Shaves His Head In Support Of Woman With Stage 4 Breast Cancer

FOXBORO (CBS) -- A barber in Foxboro went above and beyond for a customer. Sandra Smith, 40, of Attleboro, was recently diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer and decided she needed to shave her hair.

"When I started cutting her hair I saw her start to become emotional so I decide to support her," said Barber Georges Atieh.

He joined her and shaved his own head as well.

"I said I want to support you and now we look the same," said Atieh.

Smith said in a world where people barely take a minute to speak to a stranger, Atieh deserves recognition for what he did.

"I definitely didn't expect that at all. I told myself I wasn't going to cry while I was shaving my hair off and I was trying to keep calm but as soon as he did that it was such a shock but so touching," she said.

The video Atieh posted on Facebook has been shared hundreds of times.
