- During our time in Okinawa last year, it was a pleasure to meet old school barber Mr. Kazuo who is 82 years old 💈❤️ He is very friendly and enjoys talking with his customers! His frequent laughter made us smile :)
When Mr. Kazuo was 16, he left his hometown in Southern Okinawa to study barbering in Tokyo and Osaka. While working in Osaka, many people would ask for him because he was well known for being good at face shaving for women.
After working in Osaka and Tokyo, he returned to Okinawa and began different businesses. One as a beekeeper and a jewelry shop as well. Being an entrepreneur, he started up businesses and sold them once they began to do well and then moved on to the next one.
新垣理容室 / Aragaki Barbershop located in the northern Okinawa town of Nago has been in business for over 40 years and is one of the last true old school barbershops in Okinawa. A colorful yellow exterior and bright spinning barber pole greet customers.
Inside tropical orchids thrive with the attention and care of Mr. Kazuo who loves plants 🪴 He says, “Plants were the first things that thrived as life on Earth and I really respect them.”
His shop is near the mountains and Sakura 🌸 where he enjoys taking a walk each day.
✨ Mr. Kazuo would like his shop to be a place where people can relax and restore both mind and body.

Happy New Year❣🎉🎊 Hope 2024 is off to a good beginning.
During our time in Okinawa last year, we had a great time visiting Mr. Kazuo 💈🙌🏼 His old school barbershop has been open for decades and is near the mountains where he enjoys taking a walk each day. Mr. Kazuo would like his shop to be a place where people can relax and restore both mind and body ✨
Καλησπέρα από Ελλάδα
Thanks for saying hello :)
Mr. Kazuo does us old schoolers proud. I totally sympathize with him forgetting where he left the razor (for me it’s the remote). Skilled, experienced, and genuine. Great combo, great video.
Haha love the bit when he lost his razor then laughed at the camera when he found it on you 😂
We loved that part too 😂
That laugh was so genuine and sweet
No fluff, just some old school barbering by experienced hands. I've got a certain respect for that.
I like the old man's laugh, its very genuine. ❤
He moves so fast for an 82 year old. He is so fit I almost thought he was in his late fifties
Japanese people are fit
He’s 12
Okinawa is a blue zone so I think It’s common there
He is Japanese. It says it all!
I feel like 80s in Japan is more like 20 in the states, lol. I feel like we age much faster.
Mr. Kazuo has such a cheerful attitude. He may be 82, but I'm sure the joyfulness that came across in this video has helped keep him as limber as he looks. It was a wonderful service to watch :)
I can’t get over the sheer amount of hours spent shaving and hair cutting it must have taken over the years to get the faded lines in the tiles around the chairs. A sure sign that this barber and this establishment just might know what they’re doing. Fantastic video
He is very quick and moves like a teen. Incredible
This makes me mss my grandfather. The genuine love and tenderness of an old man is honestly one of life's treasures.
These people (the Japanese) is a real inspiration that the active life lasts until the last heartbeat. Much health and long life to the barber.All the best to Harry, he always knows how to relax us with a good video.
It's not like they do this because they want to, it's because they need to work until the last moments of their lives to have something to eat, in Japan there is basically no retirement.
These people? Not exactly PC, but I get it.
It is so nice to watch old men working because they have decades of experience. Althoug he only needs 40 seconds to forget where he lays his razor he is such a kind person and he is still working. This man deserves nothing but respect.
The shave is wonderful! So clean that harry's beard will never grow again 😅❤❤
Boy he can sure move fast for an 82 year old. Such a happy man
What a friendly guy.
I’ve never seen a massage quite like that before! It’s always super interesting to see the techniques and practises of barbers from different places and cultures.
He is so amazing at 82 years old. Simply loved this.
U nas w takim wieku większość albo jest bardzo chora,albo nie ma siły, podziwiam pracę w tym wieku ,wielki szacunek dla Pana ,życzę dużo zdrowia ❤
Wielu takiego wieku nie dotrwa, nie mówiąc już o aktywności zawodowej.
Such a positive guy, this Mr. Kazuo. Greetings from Prague to Harry and to Mr. Kazuo to Okinawa Island!
I love that the barber can laugh at his forgetfulness. I'm like that with my keys, glasses, grocery list, coffee cup, tv remote, etc, etc. He's a happy soul, and is exactly the kind of guy I would want shaving me. Thanks Harry and crew! ✌️♥️ 🇺🇲 Minneapolis.
Have to thank you Harry, not just for the videos that are nice and relaxing and masterfully filmed and edited but for helping me improve at shaving my face.
i
i'm 31 and i've always struggled to shave the lower part of my neck because my beard changes growth direction, and I tried everything, just couldnt shave it without getting razor burns bad. Through your videos I used some the techniques I saw and i've for the second time in 16 years shaved with no problems at all. So thank you and thank you to the barbers that were featured.
I feel this will be another fantastic video. Before I fall asleep, I thank Harry for finding these incredible human beings and bringing them to CZcams! Thank you 🙇
Love his laugh in the beginning and Herry thanks aging always for the great value and time you and your friend put into these videos
I’ve been waiting since the new year for another masterpiece to drop. As always Harry thank you for the work you put in! Keep them coming! 😊
At 82, amazing. It's good to have a purpose in life, a reason to get up in the morning, and he's certainly found his.
You can tell he’s been doing this for years and loves it.
This friendly sir is so nice…. I really love this video.
Wspaniały film z następnym wielkim mistrzem! Bardzo zazdroszczę ci Harry takiego życia! Wszystkiego dobrego!
Thank you for the new upload. So far it’s a joy to watch. And I love the back story you have included in the description for this video.
I love the massages at the end. Everyone does it differently but you can see some similarity in similar cultures. Thats pretty neat.
I love this barber. He is really funny and have my deepest Respect
A new video from harry what a great way to end a Monday
Nothing more relaxing 😌😊
Happy New Year @HaircutHarry I'm absolutely happy to see you are back.

What a lovely laugh
Wonderful, always so nice to see a new episode. Next, the hair cut.

As always..amazing..:)
I look at this gentleman’s hands and my gosh I’m only 51 and I look old as hell compared to him!I am a firm believer that the key to a long youthful life can and will be found in this part of the world.Excellent video as always harry!👍🏻🍺🇺🇸
My shaving OCD was going crazy. I kept saying, you missed a bit! Haha Bless this elder barbour. What a trooper.
Love this barbar. Good vibes
Un barbero admirable! de los mejores! ❤
Nice guy! talented at his craft.
I like that he has a sense of humor
One part of me: good gosh this man deserves a nice retirement! The other part: omg that’s so nice that he continues with his passion.
Amazing work. Thanks for sharing Harry !!

This guy was a hoot! I want a shave by this gentleman.
That was awesome

The experience dripping from this gentlemen’s hands fall onto Harry’s face transporting him to a tiny corner of heaven.
I enjoy these videos. I think I've watched all of your shaving videos. Great work.
Let me be the first here to wish you a Happy New Year, Harry. Welcome back. Great little video. The barber seems to be happy with life with his laughter. Nice start to 2024. I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Japanese artistry yet again!
Harry this is beautiful man i watch 2021 thank-you 😅
Makes me miss Okinawa so much 😢 I lived there 3 years and loved the island, be sure to check out Cape Hedo on the northern tip of the island
When you see how young this guy acts at 82 you can see why Okinawa has one of the highest life expectancy in the world.
Great video Harry. Kind regards from Austria.❤
Wow very nice shave..and man thats one cool shop he has ❤👍
Always so nice to watch your videos. Happy New Year 2024 🎉
Happy New Year to you too! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼

Happy New Year to you too! It was so fun to meet Mr. Kazuo 💈🙌🏼
Harry, c’est l’un des meilleurs salon que tu as pu faire. L’atmosphère et l’authenticité sont au rendez-vous.
Nice to see you again.
Thanks - good to see you here too! Happy New Year 🎉
Mr. Harry. Welcome back. I see you love Japan very much
Yes, love Japan ❤️ Happy we were able to spend more time there this time!
I believe and hope that this old man has no grief of his children otherwise parents who go through the trauma of their children rarely reach this age with such healthy and active life
I haven’t shaved my beard in 8 years but I would let this gentleman give me a shave.
Absolutely fast hands
very nice. You got the thorough far eastern. post- shave, massage as well 👍
Harry is Busy on His Long vacation On Japan ❤️
Love how he flips the towels like a pizza. 😂
There's something about the old asian shops and the old barbers shaving and hair cutting perfect
I wish Harry an ever growing beard for the happiness of us all😂❤
