💈 Dazzling Ducktail Haircut At The Iconic Blue Velvet’s Barbershop | Hiroshima Japan

Are you ready to see a Ducktail Hairstyle at the iconic Blue Velvet’s Barbershop in Hiroshima, Japan?
In case you missed the shave we filmed at Blue Velvet’s, you can check it out here 👉🏼 • 💈 Relaxing Timeless Go...
It was such a pleasure to meet and film with legendary barber Hideki Kakinouchi! Mr. Kakinouchi opened the iconic Blue Velvet’s shop over 30 years ago which specializes in classic hairstyles - Pompadours and Ducktails.
The artwork adorning Blue Velvet’s walls immediately captures your attention upon entering the shop. Created by a friend, the hand painted tigers and dragons are pieces of art that add a touch of timeless beauty to the atmosphere.
Over the years, Mr. Kakinouchi has been a successful entrepreneur with several businesses that combined his passion for barbering, fashion, and vintage cars from the 1930s to 1950s.
Mr. Kakinouchi’s latest project has been fulfilling a dream to publish a book celebrating the art of the “Pompadour and The Ducktail” 👉🏼 haircutharry.com/8cv8
“If you have a dream, you will be able to realize it!” - Hideki Kakinouchi
Being different from everyone else set Mr. Kakinouchi apart. “If you do things that other people are not doing, then people will be drawn to you,” he adds, “ Paths will open up!”

This man is an example of Barbering as an art form. Probably one of the coolest haircuts I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the videos as always!

Also one of the coolest barber shop interiors if not the coolest 👍😎👍

This is top 5 haircut asmr videos of all time. Instant classic.

[@Imknottshore]

Minus the phone ringing lol

[@TheSignatureSpot]

Mr. Kakinouchi is a true artist, with an unparalleled eye for detail. You can tell he approaches each haircut with the precision of a surgeon, snipping and trimming until every strand of hair is in its perfect place.

[@AlexM710]

This has to be one of my favorite barber shops. This guy was ridiculously cool.

[@ArthurCheesebag84]

Perfect description.

[@red_fox_flareside]

Dude….. this guy is so cool. A barber in Japan that totally gives off the hot rod culture vibes THEN gives Harry a 50’s greaser style cut. Love!

Almost an hour with Harry!? Faaaantastic!

Enjoy!

This man took "do whatever you like" to a new level. Literally parted a new part in Harry's hair for the first time in like 8 years lol

[@0111DTheProphet]

It must have been hard to record and edit this due to dark lighting. I hope you know how grateful we are as viewers. Your hard work and endless editing nights show amazing finished results

[@Pendragon981]

Easily the coolest looking barbershop.

As someone who has suffered from sleep issues in the past, I swear - your videos have become my best sleeping aid. Just put one on, lay my phone down, and I’m asleep within 10 minutes. Cheers, Harry.

As an awkward person who struggles to keep up conversation with someone I don’t know intimately, like my hairdresser, a relaxing haircut in peace without talking is a dream! 💜

[@timdantzii]

Ya know, Harry... I truly hope that your videos inspire folks that love to cut hair, to open these retro style barbershops. And break the mold of the cookie "cutter" types

One of the best Harry. One of the coolest haircuts by one of the coolest barbers in one of the coolest barber shops. This one deserves to be in the HH hall of fame. It was over four years ago, on a day off from work, I discovered your channel, and sat there and watched countless videos of you getting shaves and haircuts in various places around the world. A hell of a lot has changed and happened in those four years, but what hasn't is that today I'm on a day off, and here I am watching you get a haircut in Japan. Really enjoyed this. Thanks mate.

[@DocBryson]

What a cool shop and a skilled barber. That style looks great on you, Harry.

[@mattFreya]

Harry, this is one of your best videos in a long time. Not saying your others aren't good, but this one is sublime! It took me a while to finish it as i kept falling asleep and rewinding but got there in the end...just! Great haircut, what a talent.

I love the way that these barbers have their shops, it looks awesome, & it shows how much that they take the time to make their shops so appealing, it just makes you want to go in & have a look, but I must say, I would LOVE to have this guys job, going to different countries just to have a haircut! What a great job that would be! One week you are in Ireland 🇮🇪 and the next in Japan 🇯🇵, I would love it! Great haircut from one of the masters of flying chopsticks 🥢!

[@endlessrage4062]

As always, superb upload. Relaxing as ever. Love the duck tail, nice to see an old classic bit of Americana. The barber looks a real badass…. Middle aged Japanese gent, tattooed arms and the hat and jacket of Rocky Balboa! Yeah, he’s a proper dude. 👌🏻👌🏻

I've watched a fair number of HCH videos during the last few years, but this one felt different right from the start. I immediately started to get a peaceful feeling in my solar plexus and a narcotic sensation in my head.

Well done everyone! ✌️❤️ 🇺🇲
