Mom's Love for Special Needs Son Pushes Local Barbershop to go a Cut Above



Wheaton, MD., (WUSA) - Friendly Faces Barbershop and Salon may look like your average shop when you walk through its doors.  

At first glance, there's nothing distinct about it. But, this business equips its barbers and stylists in its kiddie salon with a special skill you will not find in many other shops.

"Mr. Dyls, haircut," as a barber calls out to his 11-year-old customer Dylan Harris.

"I wanted to find someone who took him in with open arms.  Someone who would actually jump into his world," says his mom Shante' Harris.

Barber Tyrone Davis would be that person Shante' would teach to connect to her son's world. Dylan was a healthy baby, developing on track until he hit 17 months. He started losing his words and avoiding eye contact.

"He had regressive Autism," Shante' Harris says.
