💈 A Relaxing Shave In Hair Craft Goro's Unique Cafe-Inspired Cozy Barbershop Oasis | Tokyo, Japan

It’s a pleasure to introduce Mr. Goro of Hair Craft Goro in Tokyo, Japan, for a relaxing traditional hot towel shave 💈 Goro, his nickname since youth, started barbering at the age of 16. He trained in men's and women's hair. At 20, Goro was promoted to store manager where he worked 8 years before opening his own barbershop on the outskirts of Tokyo in 1998.
The ideas for the interior of his shop were conceived over several years before evolving into its current form, but many ideas Goro started sketching out in the 90s. You can still see the resemblance of his drawings to the current shop interior.
Hair Craft Goro is a cozy homey barbershop, more like a cafe!
In the back of the barbershop, Goro has a kitchen area where, after filming, he made us the most delicious homemade pizza topped with his homemade balsamic vinegar 🍕 He makes awesome desserts too 😍
Baking started as a hobby for him around 10 years ago. Goro is really into organic healthy foods so likes to make his food from scratch. He enthusiastically showed us his organic flours from around the world :)
He is fond of herbs and spices and grows an urban herb garden in front of his shop. Arugula, mint, fennel, rosemary and strawberries growing in tubs, pots, and cracks in the sidewalk 🪴 Yes, he actually uses them in his cooking!
He enjoys making pizza and studied bread making from an English cookbook 📚 Heavily noted in Japanese.
Although, Goro says he doesn’t eat as much as he cooks! He loves seeing and hearing the reactions of people eating his dishes ❤️ His customers may arrive for a haircut, but leave fully fed and satisfied!
Mr. Goro is such a lovely person who we had so much fun spending time with 🙌🏼 To see more of his work and some baking, check out his KZbin channel @haircraftgoro
✨ Goro’s life advice: There is positive and negative; try to remain positive. Your choices are important as they can change the direction of life.

We had so much fun spending time with @haircraftgoro! After filming, he made us the most delicious homemade pizza topped with his homemade balsamic vinegar 🍕 He makes awesome desserts too 😍 In case you have missed any of the videos we filmed in Japan, you can watch them here 👇🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKKtn35_oN6Fhpo

Yes, Goro's homemade pizza is so good!!

For some reason I find the shaving videos far more relaxing than the haircut videos.

[@scottobryan1018]

How interesting! I find the haircut vids to be more relaxing Hahaha

[@d4l72lee9]

If I can’t sleep I look up shaving videos, it help relax and drift off to sleep

I agree. The shaving videos are more relaxing for me probably because he has to go more slowly and carefully.

Never stop doing haircuts and shaves. You have a perfect ratio of both. I like both in different ways. My favorite part of shaving videos is when they double check their work and search for hairs they may have missed

Not very common to have a barber that also doubles as a cook. Goro sounds like a good dude. No matter where you go, the content is always exceptional, but there is something special about the videos from Japan 😊

Shaving the forehead is very interesting originally is was done to make the application of makeup easier. In Japan men started wearing makeup in the 17th Century, Women shaved for the same reason.

[@user-xv8ze9ye6w]

has nobody else noticed that the mirror does not reflect the barber's actions at 8:18? If it was intentional editing, well done sir. It did not go unnoticed.
