Every day is a bad hair day for this combless homeless man, who has transformed a Greenwich Village sidewalk into a “Deliverance”-style homestead. The vagrant, who goes by the name Delfine Vizearra, cooks, panhandles and heeds nature’s call at 505 La Guardia Place, where he has built a personal shanty out of tarps and boxes. “My normal day is, I come out at 4 a.m., get all the newspapers,” he told The Post. “I cook my own breakfast. I make my own coffee. I have a small kitchen with gas.” But it’s his ankle-length dreadlock — as wide as a nautical mooring rope and just as dirty — that has made him street famous ever since he settled in the pricey neighborhood in 2009.


“I could’ve sworn he had pieces added onto it,” said neighbor Glen De Filippi, 66. “If he sells it, he could make a million dollars.” Vizearra rakes in $35 to $40 a day panhandling in front of a Morton Williams supermarket near his camp, residents said. He’ll often change up his look. “He braids his beard sometimes,” one local said. “His beard was orange for the last month but now it’s not.” “That’s his way of expressing himself.” Hair experts estimated Vizearra hasn’t cut his locks since Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s first term. “Hair grows half an inch every month on average,” said Rebecca Sarraga, 25, a hairstylist at Salon Gio in Brooklyn. “So every two years, you get one foot of hair.” And untangling it would be impossible. “You would have to buzz it off,” Sarraga said. On Thursday afternoon, a Post reporter spotted him slicing a potato and tossing it into a pan. “I can’t believe they allow him to stay there,” a Morton Williams worker said. “We have called the police many, many times.” A resident at 505 La Guardia, a co-op, said others want the city to send him and his braid packing. “A lot of people want to see him go,” the resident admitted.
