- čas přidán 1. 10. 2023
- Inside Mr. Shimomae’s barbershop is a vintage Takara Belmont sink that folds away into the cabinet with perfect Japanese efficiency!
Do you remember Mr. Shimomae? You can watch our original video with him here👇🏼
• 💈 Traditional Japanese...
Mr. Shimomae was 78 years old when we filmed with him and told us he didn’t need eyeglasses yet 🤓 Each year Mr Shimomae asks us to update his age in the CZcams video title to reflect his current age ❤️😊
He has been barbering for 60+ years. Beginning when he was 15 years old and learning from his father who owned this shop. So Mr. Shimomae has been here ever since.
For the past 17 years, he’s been writing a daily blog post ✍🏼 He writes his thoughts about Kyoto, the world, and daily life. Of course, he has seen many changes throughout the years in Kyoto…
✨ What is Mr. Shimomae’s life advice?
“Not rejecting people who come, not chasing after people who leave is best.” -Shimomae Kunihiro
He says that’s always how he tries to live. “People who leave have a reason for that, so you should let them go.”
Mr. Shimomae is happy that customers visit him after seeing the original video we filmed with him in 2019! 🙌🏼 He shows his customers a note stating the following:
“Welcome back. How did you find out about my shop?"
"I have been working as a hairdresser for 63 years. I am 78 years old now. I haven’t built up enough career, but I may not be able to cut your hair to your liking. If you ask me to leave it to you, I will do my best to create your hair and give you a pleasant shave."
"I’m 78 now, but when I was younger, I was good at cutting hair and was able to get the job done quickly. It’s a pity I didn’t have a connection with you when I was young.”
What Mr. Shimomae enjoys most about his work is when customers are satisfied and feel good! 💈❤️

We are so happy we got to visit Mr. Shimomae again! 🙌🏼 Some of you were wondering why his age has not changed since we originally filmed with him a few years ago. Well, each year Mr Shimomae asks us to update his age in the CZcams video title to reflect his current age ❤😊
You can watch the original video we filmed with him here👇🏼

Well Done
Hey harry I like to see you get your hair cut by mr.shimomae and I love your videos I love the places you go for your videos
Harry I see you don’t care about your fans to answer my question or anything i comment on your videos but you can like every one else comment but mine I see how it is
Hello - thank you for watching & commenting 🙏🏼 So happy we got to visit Mr. Shimomae again since it's been a few years since we last saw him! Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to all the CZcams comments :(
“Not rejecting people who come, not chasing after people who leave is best.” What an advice! Thank you Shimomae-san for your amazing service.
He has the most old school high tech shop i have ever seen. This shop must've been state of the art back in the day.
You found the video!! 🙌🏼 Don’t forget to leave us a comment as well! 🙏🏼
What did you have to do to find this video? Looks like I missed some sort of treasure hunt 👀
@@tomashoste - we hid a link to it in the last video! 😊
I love japanese barbers because they are amazing workers and they work as long as they can, they really don't retire unless it is absolutely necessary.. my regular barber in Ireland is 84 years old, he is really old school, wash hair before haircut, hot towel shave after with straight razor, the whole barber experience. he's fantastic.. i love how his shop smells, you get a smell of brut, old spice, shaving cream, It's just an amazing experience. Surprised harry missed him on his visit here.
These old guys are often hard to find, but we can add him to our list of possible shops! You can message us the details via our website 👉🏼 haircutharry.com/contact/ Please include the shop name, address, and why you think it is a good location to feature on Haircut Harry. 🙏🏼
@maidenaholic.. I used to get haircuts from an old school beautician.. she was well in her 70s .. and did better than the barbers in our area although she didn’t shave me , she gave me a razor cut once . She had an older lady there helping her that shampooed me very thoroughly before the haircut .I just didn’t care for the perm smell and hairspray in there .. quite a difference from a barber shop .. I was a bit nervous at first and a little embarrassed being the only 30 yr. old guy in a “ grandma” beauty shop with geriatrics but I couldn’t of asked for a better haircut from the barbers back then. Something about the old school professionals you can’t find anymore. .
Mr. Shimomae looks so serious and is silent and Harry is his normal stoic self. It's like the perfect ASMR barbering match!!
Mr. Shimomae looks so serious and silent, just because he is already very old. Monotonous work, constant narrowly focused view. Alas, nothing good awaits him, he had to retire at least 3 years ago and give way to the young.
To see someone of this age still having so much passion for their craft just warms my heart. May he have a long and happy life! ❤
More mirror tricks. Brilliant. Always good to see two vids from the same barber. We get to see their full set of skills. You hid it too well Harry. These vids are for relaxation, not treasure hunting.😂
We're curious to see who will find the video 😂
this man deserves everything. he was so professional and calm. it was so relaxing to watch, come back again to him asap!
I continue to appreciate how you showcase the beauty and artfulness of barbering around the world. Each different but each genuine in the art they create.
It's so wonderful to see someone of this age working so hard. I have nothing but utmost respect for him
I always freaked out when I saw the mirror trickery and always wondered why no one else commented on this but happy to read in the comments someone pointing this out. Such a fan of these vids keep ‘em coming Harry !! 😌🙏🏽✂️
Congratulations fellow watcher, you unlocked the secret stage! 👏🎊
Watching a Master at his Work. Thank you Harry for sharing with the world this amazing gentleman.
What an amazing display of old school Japanese Barbering skills. Thank You Harry for helping keep these amazing barbers and their traditions alive! ♥👍💈✂
His movements are so smooth 🥶 the embodiment of practice makes you perfect
Every time i watch one of your videos i get so jealous that i dont have a full head of hair anymore. I remember when i was younger i always loved the feeling of getting my haircut. Love the videos harry and will always watch
Mr. Shimomae, wish you good health and happiness.
What a wonderful way to end my day watching this is so relaxing. Can’t wait for the next one!
This looks incredible and extremely relaxing. Harry, you have the videos down to a fine art too. Thanks!
This man is still working props to this Japanese barber
First we 👍 then we watch. I like it when Harry speaks some Japanese. 😊
The hair washing tub is so old school I’m in awe of it!!! Reminded me of my first record player.. pulled the handle down and there was the turntable. ❤
Now THAT is a scalp scrub! Outstanding!
Haven’t even seen the full video, but I know it’ll be amazing. Keep up the good work. This barber is amazing.
A quaint little place with a fold-out sink! One of my many stops when I was in Kyoto Last year.
I'm so happy with the hair drying. Quite a while I hadn't seen a long, gentle one.
His attention to detail is what makes this so relaxing to watch. What an amazing barber. You just don't see this in the U.S.
How about your attention to detail LOL
Did you notice the mirror? 0:26
The video I was waiting for, since the first shave.
Glad to see again Shimomae-san!
It was wonderful to see him again 🙌🏼💈❤️
So relaxing. The shampoo and dry alone is worth watching.
We used to get a scrubbing like that when my brother and I were young boys .. at the kitchen sink, our grandmother would shampoo our hair squeaky clean just like this .
Shimomae-san and Angel from route 66 are the true masters. Would have liked to have seen these two in their prime!
Japan is the Country with Futuristic Technology ❤
I love how the alarm slowly died down it didn’t turn off right away lol that was great
So glad I found this one!
I can't believe this guy is still alive! Unbelievable. Looking so forward to this
Just amazing especially the hair dryer and style part was so cool ❤❤❤
I love the sink! They have the coolest things in Japan! Great video! Thank you and blessings, Harry 😁🙏
I am not the only one who was impresed by the sink.... Love it.
I have alway like how HairCut Harry showcases the Barbers. It is not about HH but the barbers, and their barber shops. I particularly like to watch the technique these barbers have, The scissor vs the clipper, the straight razor vs the Sharpett etc.
Wow so amazing! I’ll be traveling to japan next week and it’d be really cool to see him 🙏🏼
I always wondered, every time I saw the old video, about what those huge white tables/desks are. Now i know they are sinks/wash basins. Wow!
Yessss
Thanks Harry for even more uploads this year. It's a lot of work to maintain this channel and we appreciate. Enjoy the 500k!
Thank you so much for being with us over the years 🙏🏼❤️ Always great to see you here!
@@HairCutHarry well if I don't say thanks. How can I appreciate the 10 years of relaxation and sleep you've given me lol thank God for asmr
@HairCutHarry actually you were one of the first people I watched once I learned asmr. First was 3d binary haircuts and then I remember seeing your first video soon after. Then I became a fan. Over the years, you got rid of music(most of us didn't like it), you added interviews(miss it harry) and made longer videos(more work). All for us. It's been awesome to see you be able to travel the world with mystery woman helping us sleep, relax or learn about being a barber. Ive watched so many of your videos that I even know what a SOC is. Lol thanks Harry. Seriously. I think I speak for thousands that you are awesome. Also, shout out to your hair lol without it, well. We have only shaving videos lol
Love that you have been with us since the early days and have seen the changes! You are right, you guys did not like the music and wanted longer videos :) We always think about our first video being filmed in India in 1999... I always enjoyed that video but never imagined it would lead to this! 🙌🏼❤️
@@HairCutHarry I prefer no music as well BUT you did have some great videos that had music but were great. The Peru scissor cut comes to mind. The scissors were so loud that it didn't matter. Its been great to watch the channel grow through the years. You didn't think the India video would amount to anything and yet, you have a giant youtube channel because of it. Just a guy getting a haircut, traveling the world lol
Those fold into the wall sinks are really cool. I see a lot of them in barbering videos from this part of the world, are they very common?
Yeah! Thanks Harry!
Respeto, profesionalidad y calidad, realmente es admirable la seriedad y dedicación que le pone a su profesión Mr. Shimomae.
Loving all the videos lately!!
Love the hair styling aspects in these videos
Same wish the styling was longer and no hair dryer lol
That is some energetic hair washing. Love the video, as always.
Certainly scrubbed every bit of dirt from his hair.
@michaelpoen-zs4dk... we got scrubbed like this when we were kids … my first time in a unisex shop I had my first “ salon “ hair wash. I’ll never forget it, I was rather embarrassed since I was getting my hair washed by a lady older than my grandmother.. she was a bit aggressive shampooing me but I did get a nice haircut.
Restoring my faith in humanity, one video at a time. 👏🏻
so relaxing
No sabía que era esa cajuela hasta que la abrió y es una lavatorio para lavar el cabello!.Que genio!.
A beautiful video for a Monday night sleep
Absolutely awesome work
que ejemplo de trabajo...cuantos años tiene peluquero..un buen profesional
Wow he's really going at it, your scalp is renewed.
Yeyyy! finally new haircut video im gonna watch IT right Now ❤
The mirror shot at the start was cool
Awesome as always 👏
Thank you 🙏🏼 Hope you are having a great week!
Awesome haircut!
Your videos are therapeutic as ever. Come and try visiting some of our Barberos here in manila when you have the chance.
Thank you! Will do eventually!
Great video Harry!
And here I am wearing glasses just to watch this video. Good for him.
I visited the doctor for my insomnia, and guess what? The prescription he gave me wasn't a pill or anything. Nope, he said, "Watch Harry haircut's videos." So now, apparently, you're my official sleep remedy!
That’s great to hear! Cheaper than a sleeping pill!!! 😀
The mirror magic was cool 😎 love this gentleman barber. What a nice man
Creí que era el único que se dió cuenta ya me estaba asustando pero que alguien nos explique 😱🤔😱🤔
@@jorgeramongonzalezocegueda1843 no haba espanol por favor
Yet another awesome vid from the legendary... Haircut Harry... thanks my friend. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That water wet enought..?
85 Years old legend!!
This is what I crave for in a haircut. Attend to detail, pride in craftsmanship, not being on your phone, not mouthbreathing the events of last nights professional wrestling performance into my ear at a tyrannical volumn. You know, little things.😊
This look relaxing
Another Hair Cut Harry classic on arrival! Thanks, Harry.
Enjoy!
A pleasant surprise
Love him and his barbershop. Mos Eisley vibes
Respect mr shimomae
Just found your channel. Absolutely excellent! That mirror caught me off guard 😂
Welcome aboard! You can find these tricks in most of the videos! Keep an eye out for the three-armed barber!!! 🤣
Beautiful footage 😊😊
King of Asmr👏👏🔥
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Mirror at 43 seconds, 5:55, 6:36, 7:01. Great hidden treasure. Great video.
The best one!!
0:25 Mr. Shimomae sullo specchio è in anticipo rispetto a quello nella realtà! 😳
I found it. This is great! Good to see this awesome barber again.
This barber must love his job. I imagine retirement doesn't enter his mind. Lucky man. 😊
I gotta start eating more sushi !
Thought this was a Tim Conway skit at 1st! Lol Great video!
those folding sinks look like something from a spaceship!
Love it😀
yes harry i am waiting for this barber
💈🙌🏼❤️
One wicked Poker player!
The mirror trick spooked me at first.
anyone know what clock that is? love the sound of it ticking
What was it he rubbed into your hair please? I love this video ❤
Very nice
This video puts me to sleep, goodnight ❤..
Enjoy the new video 😴💤
In the beginning of the video the mirror is showing the same guy but is not doing the same thing. What a trip
Bonus videos eh? This I can get behind
Great video really enjoy this guy he knows his stuff. Out of interest with the hairwash why does he scrub the scalp so rough? Is this to help stimulate the scalp somehow?
The mirror 😎
Getting a little gray there Harry!
That was a hell of a shampoo
It kinda looks like a 90s science lab for hair. I like it 😂
I love you kyoto ❤️very cute 🤗🤗🍛
Una cosa que he visto yo es que las primeras imágenes que salen en el espejo no son las reflejadas por el peluquero parece que las que proyecta el espejo van adelantadas
Can't remember his name but I'd love to see another video with the gentleman in AZ off of route 66 again.
Extended my awake time to see this hidden gem
