This homeless man got a free makeover and no one was able to recognize him!

His Hair Dyed

Yep. To make Jose look younger and unrecognizable, Garcia and his team decided to dye the white hair of this 55-year-old man to jet black, both of his head and beard. And the result? Well, you should see for yourself. It moved Jose to tears and what happened to him after this makeover is even more miraculous. Did he become a model, you might have seen somewhere or recognized?

Detailing Eyes

Garcia is a perfectionist and he wanted Jose to see himself as an entirely transformed person, which meant that the salon team made sure not to leave any chance of a change. Even Jose’s eyebrows were made, extra hair plucked out, everything was done to enhance, what was going to be his new avatar. 

Final Touches

Before the mirror window was opened when Jose would finally have gotten to see his new, transformed self, the stylists gave his face final touches. His neckline was made neat, so was his beard. He was made to wear the new clothes bought specially for him, his hair combed until they were exactly what Garcia wanted. Jose was nervous with anticipation to see his new self and while watching the video ahead, so were we.

Dios Mio!

The phrase in English translates to “My God!”- this was Jose’s first reaction when he finally saw himself in the mirror, a new man, almost 20 years younger stared back at him in joy and excitement- he was actually at a loss of words. But the tears in his eyes said it all. He could not possibly have put into words, his feelings of gratitude- and the words he said next can bring tears to anyone’s eyes.

Metamorphic

Garcia wanted to completely transform Jose’s appearance and he managed to create a metamorphic difference in Jose’s appearance. Jose said, “I can’t recognize myself!… I can’t believe it! This is me?… It’s so different. Man, no one is going to recognize me.” Well, the before and after pictures are so strikingly different that any person can’t believe it’s the same person. What happened in Jose’s life after this?

“I Am Not Jose Antonio”

Overwhelmed and stunned by how different two hours can make him look, and unable to believe his own eyes, Jose Antonio looked into the mirror and said, “I Am Not Jose Antonio. No one is going to recognize me! I mean even if I tell them who I am, no one is going to recognize me. I am telling you, no one in the whole neighborhood will recognize me.” He was sort of right.
