Celebrity stylist Thompsun Fernandes gave nearly 150 free haircuts over the two Sundays of the annual Bandra fair, which ended on September 21. The fair is held after the feast of Mother Mary at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount.
Fernandes, who owns a hair and make-up salon on Chapel Road, said the free service is intended for those who cannot afford a visit to a hair salon. “It is thanks to Mother Mary for helping me succeed in the profession,” he said.
In 2024, Thompsun gave 60 free haircuts, while the year before, 120 people received the service. To accommodate this free initiative, Thompsun creates a temporary shed outside his salon for the haircuts, explaining that the salon itself could intimidate people who think it is expensive.
