Despite the pandemic, barbers are still cutting and styling at D’Friends Barber Shop in Jamaica Plain. The Community Fridge can be seen from the inside of the shop with Northeastern student Talja Ketchum painting vibrant rainbows and flowers onto its exterior. The barbers are enthusiastic about the new initiative right outside their door. “My best friend gets a haircut at this barbershop all the time, so he put me in contact with the owner,” said Josiel Gonzalez, a co-founder and main organizer for the JP fridge. Jay Valeria, 24, has been a barber at D’Friends for three years now. “There’s a lack of love and warmness [in the world],” explained Valeria. “I feel like this promotes love.”
