💈5th Generation Traditional Japanese Barber in Tokyo | Relaxing Hair Wash, Head Massage & Wet Shave

Relaxing Hair Wash, Head Massage & Wet Shave at Kitadoko Barbershop in Tokyo, Japan.
We filmed with a fifth-generation barber and proprietor named Ms. Chiyo Funakoshi. The family’s Kitadoko Barbershop, 喜多床五代目 舩越千代. has a very rich history and was established in 1871.
That same year the Japanese government allowed the men with status to no longer have a traditional topknot and they were also permitted to not carry their swords. Sixty percent of Tokyo’s male population no longer wore their hair in the traditional style by 1876.
Back then the barbershop was located across the street from a university which is now the University of Tokyo. The shop became very well known and had 18 chairs and 20 staff members.
Since opening, the shop has moved a couple times and it is now located downstairs in a modern building.
In 1990, Chiyo began working at the barbershop alongside her dad. She is the first woman in the family to run the business. Her dad who is 83 years old still comes to the shop every week and while we were filming, he was helping out 😊

[@GentlemanMasterclass]

Wow! Even I was there I had completely forgot about the all encompassing service that was done. You walked in for a wet shave, and instead got a nice little hair cleanup, shampoo, massage, shave and then styling. And let me not forget about mentioning that razor she used for the core part of the shave. I don't know whether that was some kind of shavette, or double edge razor, or what have you, but I've never seen that before in my life. I've yet to identify it, but it certainly was unique, along with the constant steam machine. From 12 inch sheers in Vegas, to unidentified razors in Japan. No one showcases unique haircut experiences like you do, which is why I always watch. Kanpai (Cheers!) from Tokyo. -Marc

[@wanderlustjohn]

Im on the hunt myself...from what i can tell it is a 'razorine' style DE shavette, however done as a kamisori. I would LOVE to find out more details and get my hands on one.

[@shanesutherly]

John Greco looks like an old 50s or 60s japanese razorine. The newer versions have a screw to hold the blade in place. She is using her thumb here to keep the blade from moving because they were basically held in place by friction.

[@wanderlustjohn]

@@Rroff2 Yeah i know about that one too, but im afraid its not the same. Harry wrote me and told me it is a rare YASAKA brand razor. He is getting more details for us [clearly] shave fanatics!

You are right .. I have to laugh .. some places can use manners like this. I remember a unisex shop I went to in my 20s. .. the lady that was going to wash my hair.. called my name , she’s about 75 , chubby and gray haired kind of stone faced said follow me, I followed her ( a bit nervously) .. took me to the shampooing area it had a long row of about a dozen sinks , says to me take a seat , so I started to sit in the chair and she barks No ! Over here! .. so I move the 2 sinks over and sat in the chair, she puts a towel around me, then like a matador flings a gigantic light blue plastic cape over me snaps it snug to my neck puts another towel around me then says ok lay back and put your head all the way back in the sink.. was kind of scary and I was a bit nervous and embarrassed at this point.. she really went to town hosing and soaking my head .. i was a bit antsy in the chair I can still remember her saying “ you need to keep your head all the way back “! she shampooed me two times, very firm almost aggressive scrubbing my scalp lifting my head up turning it , hose sprayer was like a pressure washer on my head .. it seemed this would never end with the scrubbing/ massaging.. not a pleasant experience rather an abrasive personality for an elderly lady to be shampooing a young man’s hair … was a shampoo I never forgot .. I saw the next guy she was getting ready to shampoo , kind of felt sorry for him he looked a bit petrified..!

Wow. This was amazing. I bet “Hair Cut Harry” would go back there every day if his hair grew quickly enough overnight. This is an awesome men’s hair cuttery/spa. I’ve never seen a men’s haircut service like his before. The Japanese are perfectionists. ❤️👌🏻

This barber is clearly a perfectionist. I am in awe of her dedication.

[@theactualdarthvader]

i feel like Japanese people are one of, if not, the most polite people in the world. they’re dedicated to everything they do. i can watch this lady work all day and not get bored it

Perfect ASMR. Didn’t want it to end so watched it twice in a row. Even the hairdryer had a nice sound. Best yet.

[@roxye716]

Absolutely! She's cutting the hair so gently, she should create ASMR haircut videos 😊

I hope this comes across in the way I intend it, but Japanese people and culture are made for ASMR. The attention to detail, exacting standards and carefully practiced movements. In almost every profession or in craft, the care they take in what they are doing...it’s just pure ASMR response for me. It’s something we can all learn from and apply to what we do, rather then just rush everything and knock things out just to meet some deadline or quota. Patience, consideration, care, focus and pride in whatever your doing, big job or small. Much respect to them for all that.

Japan is about pride in your work. I love that about this country. Pride and dignity.

[@chonv5617]

I very very love Japanese people they all so lovely and friendly

[@dawalters]

Would love to see a full haircut from her

[@tanmaychaudhari7208]

The preparation part before actual haircut is more satisfying 😍

[@magnoliamike]

I remember one time I got a haircut and the barber didn’t use a Shavette to to the edges... I was like did u forget something? I love how she doesn’t cut corners and gives her customers the satisfaction of a great service
