Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 12. 2019
- Traditional wet shave with hair wash & style in the historic 성우이용원 Seongu Barbershop in Seoul, South Korea.
Mr. Lee, the owner and barber, is 70 years old and is a third-generation barber. He was born in the family home where his grandfather opened the barbershop in 1927. This authentic traditional shop is still in the original location and has changed very little over the decades. Although it used to have a thatched roof that blew off in a storm more than 50 years ago.
It was in the 1960s when Mr. Lee began cutting hair. He worked with his dad all the way up until the 1970s when his dad decided to retire.
Mr. Lee is a little over 5’ tall so uses a footstool to stand on while working on his customers. He is also known for using a vinegar rinse after washing your hair.

Bruh this man prepared your lather on the side of a kitchen pot, shaved your forehead, wet your head with a watering can, and shampooed your hair with a bar of soap...
...and I loved every second of it. Great video as always Harry. Thanks for taking us to the places we don't see on normal travel shows. This is where the real culture shines.
Couldn't have said it any better!🙂
Amazing
Of all haircuts on this channel, this feels like the one where the hair looks on point. Just seems like the cut is flawless. After all the videos I've seen before here this is truly remarkable!
ah shit, I thought I was the only one with this type of thought process! Its nice to see others with the same snark and appreciation
@@aaronroberts7430 Same here, and i like his shop. It's old skool, fans, the riggidy doors, the old stereo, and the man standing at the entrance. It's conspicuous, inconspicuous!!!
The discipline this man has is remarkable. The attention to detail. Not a single slip up. He just stands by the window the whole time!
😂
You had me in the first half.
You ain’t even funny😂😂😂
Not really the whole time man.
Oh I forgot to tell you bro ! shut all the way up😆
This is incredible. I don’t know where to start
- the shop looks like a film set
- using a tin can to froth the shave foam
- shaving his forehead
- washing his hair with a bar of soap
- using a watering can to wash his hair
- the guy standing with his back to us looking out of the door
It’s all perfection - thank you Harry
@@averychapman6141 -- Umm buddy. It's not China. It's South Korea. It says so right in the video heading. You sound dumb.
@@averychapman6141 you sound like you need an education. Oof
The barber is using the soap & natural vinegar to wash his hair because most of shampoos & conditioners are full of chemicals & harsh on scalp & hair.
Gentle soap would clean the hair perfectly & rinsing with natural vinegar will soften the textures hair & give healthy glow as well!
It is well known Korean natural remedies.
The pot isn't to lather the shaving cream. It's a pot of hot water, and spreading the cream over the large surface area heats it up. It creates the towels too.
@@littlejackalo5326 👍
성우이용원은 한국의 가장 오래된 이발소 중 하나 입니다. 저도 몇번 가본적이 있어요. 가위, 면도기 등도 몇십년 된 것들이라고 합니다
좋은 영상 고맙습니다
Anyone else watched this like 10-15 times over the last 3 years? This is my go to....
Same!
Same here
These old furnitures, building, mood is just so perfect.
The guy in the background is filming the JFK ASSASSINATION 📽
Its interesting to me to look at all the details of the shop. It has so much character in a very unassuming way. Its marvelous and I'm jealous
VAZZ 22
I guess you can say that car ride went South
@@chrism.1749 🤣🤣🤣
Aesthetic Vibes
Legend says that man is still looking out that window to this day
😭😭😭
xD
he could be looking at the intense war battle between red clan ants and black empire ants that happened on the side of the road
😂😂
He actually does,
This place is like a movie set. All the little things, supplies, the slight clutter, the humble setting. The way his lathering has accumulated on the side of that tin tank! I’m charmed by it all.
More like a junkyard
Throw a few splashes of pastel in there and its got the chaotic quirky energy of a Wes Anderson film. 100% couldve shot a scene from the Royal Tenenbaums in this shop.
The guy in the back is also known as the "Barbershop Guardian"
Scariol 😂😂😂 I was literally thinking why is he just standing there. Like traffic police or something
You remember him and forget about him at the same time. It's conspicuous inconspicuous!
😂😂😂😂
Remember what happens in the barbershop stays in the barbershop !!!
Definitely over 9000
This guy is a master at his trade. He has his own way of doing things but he's incredibly meticulous and precise. Great video Harry!!
Have you ever seen a shave that is better than this one? Honestly I think it is one of the smoothest shaves I've ever seen...the real BBS 😁
@@delpinsky yes the Japanese barber Harry visited. I'm pretty sure that old man shaved years off Harry's life. This barber was awesome though
666 likes
He should be a master, with his age. I guess you could *start* cutting hair in your 70s but might not get very many customers...
@@kevinleem3367 and why is that
That is by far, the best haircut I think I’ve ever seen you get.
I’ve watched both this and the haircut video multiple times and I’m still amazed by his professionalism and skill. This guy is ROCK solid! The final style was over the top, and I especially love that this is a snapshot of the real culture of Seoul. Love it!
i love the way he's gentle and 'agressive' at the same time
That guy looking out the window doesnt move an inch, what a legend
What the hell he doing ?
Is he bodyguard?
Haa
He is a T-800
I was thinking the same either lol
No relaxing music, no chit-chat, no fancy things, just the REAL DEAL! 😆
And no horns hahaha
@@anthonygil2469 Well it is in south-korea, not in india :D
@@arnofrey6918 hahhaa
I'm sure there would've been she'll talk, but it doesn't seem that Harry speaks the local language.
Actually, He talks too much while cutting my hair, but since he can't speak English, we can enjoy relaxing. 😌
I'm so glad they restored his shop and made it a historical site :)
I could listen and watch him sharpen those blades for hours on in...
Gosh I know I wish it was longer.... I get goosebumps
Did he reuse that blade for other customer?
@@gobachtiar yes but it probably is disinfected each time
I thought I was the only one lol
@@gobachtiar Yeah, most barbers use one razor
This is actually the first time I see a barber heating the shaving cream using a metal pot, shaving the forehead, and also using watering can to wash the hair. Very fascinating, I love how unique that whole experience is!
Forehead and ear shaving is pretty common in Asian countries.
His father learned from Japanese in colonial days. His father developed this method. And He developed more in decades from father's technique. He reminds old barber who was about mid 60s used to cut my hair in my elementary days. Same vibe...
Now Harry’s forehead is gonna start growing hair tho...
@@luciusbrave9805 Well, that's not the way it works, is it? He probably had "invisible" hair there, and now it's gonna get more visible over time. Sure he's in a foreign country and all, but a forehead shave should be asked about beforehand.
Ella Claire they do that in the East.
I always find it amazing that the really humble stores, even if they look a bit run down, if there is an old man/woman there, dressed clean and smiling, you are odds to be well taken care of.
Good show, enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks for your time, well worth it.
Most of asia has this old style of building structure throughout the big cities, even as new construction come up around it. Japanese imperials built their structures to last, even so long after world war 2 the architecture is still in the places conquered by Japan.
Amen to that, old people always know what to do, when to do it, and how it needs to be done.
the blunt secondhand razor wasnt clean 🤢
I’ve watched this vid at least 15 times and I still haven’t seen the end of it. 11/10
Hahaha, same here my man
I finally fast forwarded to the end of the video because I wanted to see the finished product. He looks great!
Why,,,I don' know why,,, this made me feel comfortable and ease...
I have a grandma and the atmosphere in this shop is so alike with her house....
I really hope this shop comes well through the corona crisis...
he has a new place as the korean gov. demolished this old building
@@REALchocochan i hope his business is going good xx
I heard the roof almost fell in so the government built him a new building on the same spot.
@@REALchocochan But luckily! I'm sorry but, this place didn't inspire me at all. All too old and in a state of neglect. Honestly, it didn't even make me feel clean.😖
@@PerlaRossa87 it’s a good thing you’ll not be needing to get a shave then.
Ahahaha, love it how at 6:21 he cleans the foam on his hair like "it's going to be washed anyway, so...".
This is my third time watching and I just noticed that
@@DJ_afroASH xd
HAHAHA
OMG 😂😅😅
Happy I found this video. This guy is a vet. This is what a master looks like. He is one with his art. Smooth, quick, and efficient. Everything looks 2nd nature to him. Well done. Also the people in the back, the setting of this place, completely wholesome.
Mr Lee does have his own unique & quirky way of doing things but the final result looks so good!
The way this man works with a razor, and the way he is comfortable with it in his hand must be one of the best things i’ve seen on Harry’s videos!
Maybe it's just me, but there's something relaxing about the water pot.
Me too
That's my favorite moment of the video. I had to replay it about 8 times.
Yeah bro I had the same feeling..
This man would work wonders on my husband’s face! How lovely you get to have this shaving experience from all over the world.
Takes ages to do hair and looks like it be a long waiting line but definitely be worth the wait he is old school and does everything with perfection, takes pride in his work no short cuts or nothing pure bliss to watch 😍🤗
A life’s work and it shows. A true artisan who obviously takes pride in his work. Thanks for sharing.
I got a haircut in South Korea back in the 90’s. I remember the service being so much better then anything you would get in the U.S. at the time. I had a magazine to read while the barber cut, a shot of liquor, and a massage when it was completed. Probably the best haircut I ever had. Merry Christmas Harry! 🎅🏽
These days, such a traditional barbershop is disappearing. I am sad of that.
Wow
They gave all that because they have something to hide and were trying to distract you
@@scourgedarkpaw9949 tf r u talking about lol if u haven't been Korea and seen how the services are another level , just 🤫 even if u did, may b u been to shtty one in hood
random mate I was a joke calm down
정말 오래된 곳이라 전압이 110v짜리인 기구들이어서인지 거울앞에 변압기(?)가 놓여있는게 너무 인상적이네요. 보는 동안 과거의 단면을 본것 같아 인상적이면서도 이게 오래된 과거가 아닌 것이 사랑스럽습니다. 여름에 하얀 모시로 보이는 이발사분의 의상이 시원하면서도 단정해 보여 보는내내 아름다웠습니다. 손등은 연륜이 느껴지는데 손가락은 아주 정갈하고 매끈해서 대비됩니다.
Yes! Perfect comment!!
Here i am back again to tell you the tale of the single best before sleep video. Saved me many a sleepless nights.
This guy is a pure artisan. Merry Christmas from Ireland Harry.
Hi Roller Ghoster - wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year too!
@@HairCutHarry thanks Harry. I've been enjoying your round the world adventures for a few years now. Doesn't time fly! Have a peaceful new year too and I'm sure you've got a few surprises for us in 2020.
Yes, it is so hard to believe 2020 is almost here! The years seem to keep going by faster and faster. Hope you enjoy the holidays :)
@@HairCutHarry I'm almost certain you havent been to Ireland. You should do that in 2020. I cant recommend any barbers as I'm bald lol 🤓👍
@@HairCutHarry Merry Christmas harry and company From SPAIN !!!
I live here and i can tell you there are literally less than a handful of old school barbers left in the country who still uses a straight razor. Mr.Lee is now 72 and the shop was started by his grand father in 1929, followed by his father and finally by him since 1970, though he had worked as an apprentice since 1962.
Whos the hottie in the yellow dress?
But how many South Koreans do you know that have actual facial hair? There's probably a reason why there's so few of them left.
@@infini.tesimo Racist much? Let me just capture this ignorance and share far and wide.
@@tcat0211 he definitely came off very racist and I'm trying not to be when asking this but, it's a very rare thing for me as an American to actually see a Korean with facial hair. Is there a reason for it or just part of the culture?
Again just curious and trying to be as harmless as possible in my questioning.
@@tcat0211 Well it's not that racist to us. It's just ignorant of the other's job.
Harry has the coolest job in the world.. He travels worldwide to different barbershops , gets haircuts, shaves, and massages.. Yet he never looks happy...
🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁👍🏼
As a Korean guy who lived in Seoul, I used to go to barbershop in my grandparents building in 1990s. I really miss that time.
Old but GOLD
I love it all. The chair is old and taped. He uses pots as a faucet. He walks over to wet his fingers several times as he shaves. The shave goes on and on. The building is far from perfect. The motorcycle noise is cool. That hair dryer is probably 40 years old. Man do I want to get a cut there.
An old school barber
The one your father went to, your grandpa went to
A man who has tended to generations of other men and kids
Best ASMR for a while with this one. I love this guys no nonsense approach! And the watering cans 😀
The best part for me - is the way how mr.Lee sharpens the razor with a leather belt 🔥😎❤️
Absolutely, one of the best barbers I’ve seen on this channel 👊🏻💈
Mr. Lee is awesome!
It feels like that I just read a short book of the 1940's in Korean. The sound of a bike is even perfect. Welcome to Korea and thanks for sharing your barber journey! I really enjoy to watch it.
That still at 0:18 perfectly illustrates the connections Harry makes all over the world, often times without speaking the same language. Truly remarkable. If we could have more human moments like these, this world would be a much better place. Anyway Harry, thanks as always for sharing these moments with us.
Idk why I keep coming back to this specific one , this shit puts me to sleep , I've been having serious sleeping issues working 2 jobs with crazy ass hours and once im off I throw these on and it seriously helps
Master barber, full of wisdom and knowledge. He knows his craft very well!
There's like 7 videos from this channel I watch at least once a week.... Some multiple times a day hahaha
Ik Adjaero no judgement welcome to the club
lemme guess.. Route 66 Seligman Arizona with Angel Delgadilo is one of them.. 2 of them perhaps XD
@@diazairlangga951 it is, indeed, one of them
Ik Adjaero everybody gotta get that sleep lol
Me too
I was stationed in South Korea for a year. I miss the attention to detail in everything the Koreans do. It’s part of the culture. Thank you for the great memories Harry!!!
This was so amazing to watch . I love to see seasoned stylists at work . Great video
I think this will go down as my favorite Haircut Harry video because that barber was a master of his art. The haircut, the shave, the style, the detail in his work was exceptional. Well done.
I love the use of watering cans to wash someones hair, it's so simple.
Harry is still in that barbershop to this day, getting those finishing touches and tweaks. But it's all about the experience and that looks like a great experience and professional job.
Puede que lo haya visto ya 50 veces y nunca me canso. TODO ES AUTÉNTICO, UNICO Y ORIGINAL ❤
0:33 Guy standing up reminds me of the Terminator 2 scene when Arnold doesn't sleep lol
Lol
I love how not only is he insanely adept with his straight edge, but he uses his hands to feel constantly for anything that is still rough.
I’d love to see you go back and see him since his shop has been rebuilt and before he retires. One of my most watched Haircut Hairy videos!
Watched this many times, so relaxing watching a craftsman at work, one of the best asmr videos on CZcams
Best haircut Harry's ever got!
Is the guy at the window on a stakeout, he’s obsessed with that view.
He's on his phone.
He on lookout for the cornoavirus
The only place he can get a phone signal
He see beautifull girl 😂
He's playing the mannequin challenge.
I think this was the best experience you ever had in a barber shop!!!just loved the barber
Genius! That comb and blow dry trick was simple but brilliant.
God this barber is amazing! He had me mesmerized the entire video. What a relaxing treat! Lee is a simple man with pride, passion, and extraordinary skill. You find some real gems Harry!
The best video yet. I love how he shows skill over modern technology. This truly is a lost treasure. Great job showing us other cultures.
This place feels like coming back to an old familiar barbershop. A little bit dirty, a little bit unkept, and a whole lot homey.
I dig it, Harry. Very nice video. Thank you!
This is not a haircut. This is a healing experience !
Out of all the videos of yours I've seen this one sticks with me the most. Honestly that looks like a super relaxing service, and just this old timer shuffling back and fourth conducting and orchestra. Amazing video
16:24 *Best ASMR part starts here.*
I really like when he doing this
El Analista YES!
and 0:45
Thank you
He really made that blade disgustingly sharp didn't he
Everything about this place was cool. Finally someone who shave the whole face
*shaves
Why?
저 어릴 때 이발소에서 깎아주시던 이발관 아저씨의 모습이 그대로 남아있어서 너무 보기 좋네요. 옛날이 그립습니다.. 82년생-
The professionalism these barbers have is unquestionable
this is the best shave i’ve seen in my life
He looks like he thoroughly enjoys what he does, and doesn’t look like he’s there because he has to be
there are not many barbers who are working because they need to. many love their jobs. as a local small barber you get paid almost no amount whatsoever. but i agree smh
Note how the barber is never distracted from what he's doing. He's laser-focused. These are such cool videos.
A master of his art and work...
I hope to be this focused on something too. I have yet to find my passion.
It’s amazing. Mr. Lee shows that a razor’s edge doesn’t last all the way through a shave. He uses only water for the second shave, so it must feel to the customer like a single shave.
He done a real good job Harry
BEAUTIFUL INTRO. I SPENT 12 MONTHS IN S. KOREA AND I LOVED IT. THE PEOPLE, THE PLACES AND THE FOOD...!!!
It was our first time visiting Seoul and Busan and we loved it so much 😍 You're lucky you got to be there for 12 months :)
Jerome Syed my guess, if they were there 12 months they taught English as a 2nd language. Those contracts are typically 12 months, someone I knew did it and they loved it there.
@@MrSmith223 U.S. Army tours in South Korea are 12 months.
straight out of a Miyazaki masterpiece. Everything in this video is pure enchantment.
I could watch any video in this series over and over.
Authentic, magic and so restful. Love everything about them…Please go and visit Mr. Lee again soon. It appears that he has remodeled his shop and it looks great! Can’t top these however from the original shop.
Hi Zak - thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼 We actually did visit Mr. Lee again during our travels in Korea :) The new videos will be coming soon 🙌🏼
This mans shop may be humble but his service is world class!! Wish there was more like him.
잘 때 들으면 편안해지면서 잠이 듬
Me: okay I’m gonna go to bed now
CZcams: wanna see a guy get his beard shaved and hair washed in a South Korea barbershop?
I watched the entire thing and now it’s midnight.
Its 4 am 😎
Sometimes the best journeys start when least expected
Im watching this on my lunch break
Same here man
Love the way he wipes his nose, and then applies that cream all over your face with the same hand!!!😂
I noticed that too. I guess I'd let it slide. Build your immune system...🤷🏽♀️
Just to spice up the video😂😂
Watched this again during lockdown. Still blows me away every time!!!
I LOVE THIS OLD MAN!!!!! SO MUCH SPIRIT!!
This is so relaxing to watch. I love everything about your videos. Particularly the ones where there is no conversation. Just the sound of a barber working is soothing.
What’s sad is that old and original business are left in last place while new businesses get ahead despite of poor and overpriced services. The business world is truly cruel but what we need to do is to help many businesses as much as we can. I hope that the old man and the barbershop will be well for a long time. 🥺💙✨
“ Why are you shaving my forehead? I don’t have any beard up there”
“ You will now!”
You're not a real men till you grow a beard on your forehead....
Joe Dirt (I’m thinking of a joe dirt quote relevant to this video)
“Life’s a beard, shave it.”
I actually saw in a comment on another video that the barber does this to scrape away dead skin cells.
exfoliation
This is one of the only CZcams comments that actually made me lol! 😂
questo signore barbiere è bravissimoooo e di una dolcezza disarmante. L'idea di scaldare il sapone da barba sul pentolone dell'acqua calda È GENIALE!!!! E il rasoio invece di tagliare, cantaaaa
Oltretutto, per quel poco che ne posso sapere io di barbe, gli ha fatto una rasatura che rasenta la perfezione! Salone da barbiere molto "post-apocalittico", ma barbiere che è un Maestro!
Besides, as far as I can tell about shaves, the guy did something that is close to perfection! Barber-shop very "post-apocalyptic", but barber who's a Master!
Esatto
The best HCH video ever!!! Mr. Lee is going to the barber hall of fame for sure!!!
This is crazy relaxing and satisfying, the shop looks super jankie yet the barber is super clean with hands probably softer then hands model. The shave he gives is most likely better then any big name shop gives, yet the way he goes about it so out of the ordinary, yet it seems soo right.
I know like all this dudes techniques are exceptional, but his blow drying and smoothing technique was exceptionally exceptional.
The man is a true master of his craft!!
This has got to be one of my favourite ones Harry. Also the quality of the Video and Sound is awesome... the best ever!!!
I love how u can hear the razor across the skin so clearly, this whole video was very satisfying to watch
가게 인테리어 운치있네~ㅋㅋ갬성 쩔어~!!

@김해맘스터치도둑김찬호 태풍와서 쓰러졌거든
The honor he puts in his craft is amazing!!!
This is appreciating your gift.
Wow that was an extremely close shave and also this is one of your best ASMR videos. Those shaving sounds are on another level. This guy takes his profession very seriously and with a lot of pride.
I think he is one of the best barber in the world
Ese señor es toda una historia viviente tiene una dedicación por su profesión que despierta admiración
It reminds me when i was little, I followed my grandfather whenever he gets haircut..this place looks very similar!
Hope I can visit this place when I go back to Korea
The most attractive point when I visit the old shops or barbers, I feel like I'm in a classic masterpiece
So glad CZcams recommended this video. As a man who loves a great shave, I found this video quite relaxing and informative at the same time. It’s shaving simplicity at its finest. God bless and thanks again for posting this! 🙏🏼
Treated you like a king bro!! Gave you a piece of everything in that shop.
