Syrian Barber Offers Free Haircuts

Lodged by Stuart McMillan (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends Mounzer Darsani, from Syria, for providing free haircuts to residents of Crosshill Gardens residential complex in Port Glasgow; understands that Mounzer wanted to give back to the community that welcomed him and his family with open arms after fleeing Syria and arriving in Scotland in 2016; further understands that some of the senior citizens were getting their first haircut since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic; notes that Mounzer has opened two Orient Salon barber shops, one in Greenock and the other on the Isle of Bute; understands that Mounzer has pledged to return to Crosshill Gardens to offer routine free haircuts for older residents, as he enjoys their company and hearing their stories; believes that Mounzer’s generosity is just one example of how refugees make a huge contribution to Scotland, and wishes him, his family and his business all the best for the future.
