💈 Puro Scissor Snipping ASMR | Exploring Puro Handsome Barbershop in Vibrant San Antonio, Texas

I recently got a Puro Handsome Barbershop scissor-snipping haircut in the beautiful majestic barbershop located in the heart and soul of downtown San Antonio, Texas.
We loved meeting Tommie Gonzalez, owner of Puro Handsome Barbershop, and hearing his story 🙌🏼
Tommie hails from Brownsville, Texas and had a career in television broadcast marketing as well as the music industry prior to making the switch to becoming a barber. Work took him far from his home in San Antonio, Texas, to Berlin, Germany, and Scandinavia.
However, with the proliferation of digital music downloads, Tommie became increasingly disillusioned with the industry.
"I didn't find any value in it anymore," Tommie explained.
A haircut, however, is something that can never be downloaded, streamed, or delivered to your door! This was a reassuring awakening for Tommie.
Depressed and no longer happy with the direction of his place in the music industry, it was a chance meeting within a simple three-chaired barbershop in Oslo, Norway, that proved to be a pivotal turning point!
The shop was owned by an older barber who had been cutting hair for over 40 years in the same location just off a small breezeway near a performance hall called the Folketeateret. The inside of the shop was a collection of seemingly random items that had taken over the space, and in between the magazine piles and boxes were three barber chairs.
Waiting by his chair was a barber who was happy to receive the next customer and share a moment or story. A low-resolution picture framed of the barber with his old Corvette proudly hung from the barber's mirror!
"He just made me feel like I was the most important person in the world," added Tommie, "He made me feel like I was welcome there.” And this was at a time when Tommie was down and heartbroken, and he says, “nothing made me feel good.” He remembers this barber just put him in the best mood he had been in a very long time ❤️
✨ So in 2016, Tommie enrolled in barber school and began his barbering journey.
Now Tommie owns two Puro Handsome barbershops in downtown San Antonio 💈 He is quick to share his San Antonio roots and desire to promote local culture. Inside, the shop is a small art gallery of local artists, products are locally sourced, and you can ask the barbers anything about the San Antonio area!
Tommie explained the loose translation of "puro" as "100%, through and through, genuine, any synonym you can imagine of those adjectives.”
If you ask locals the meaning of puro, you will get a lot of different interesting beautiful answers, "and none of them are wrong!" Tommie adds. He thinks, "It's a very unique and special word for this community."
Much like his vision for Puro Handsome, an immersive experience and uniquely San Antonian!
A HUGE thank you to Tommie and his beautiful mom for all the good company, great conversations, and for showing us some of your favorite spots around San Antonio 🤗💕

It was an unbelievably cool experience to do this and be part of Harry’s storyteller legacy. I put a lot of love and care into my shops and to have Haircut Harry visit them was a huge sign that I’d done SOMETHING right. I love downtown San Antonio and I love being a barber. Thanks for watching. I’ll try to answer as many questions as I can from y’all. 🍻 cheers!

[@HairCutHarry]

Thank you so much Tommie and everyone at Puro Handsome for all your warm hospitality and great conversations 🙏🏼❤️ It was wonderful to hang out with you guys and visit both of your shops 💈🙌🏼 We loved our time in beautiful San Antonio!

[@lewismassey9312]

Has anyone ever told you, you look the spitting image of the Actor Danny Huston but with a beard! I had to do double taken when the video started. Loved the video, sent me to sleep after 20 minutes it was so relaxing to watch you work! :D

[@187seabass]

The way you grip the scissors is different from anyone I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot of Harry vids! Is just unique to yourself or is the grip called something?

[@PuroHandsomeBarbershop]

@@187seabass ha! Thanks for noticing. I’m sure somebody calls this something unique but I first learned it from an Italian dude I went to barber school with in London. It’s been about 2 years now that I stay consistent with it and ultimately it serves the purpose of keeping my wrist in a comfortable position while still just using my thumb to open and close the cutting blade and keep the other blade absolutely still for precision cuts.

[@PuroHandsomeBarbershop]

@@lewismassey9312 thank you! You’re the first to say Danny Huston. Thanks for watching.

[@robmartinez9935]

Grateful to call Tommie my barber and amigo! His craftsmanship, patience and skill is unmatched! Bravo, Harry for stopping in Puro Handsome

[@HairCutHarry]

Hello - thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼 We had a great time visiting San Antonio and meeting Tommie Gonzalez, owner of Puro Handsome Barbershop 💈🙌🏼 Tommie hails from Brownsville, Texas and had a career in television broadcast marketing as well as the music industry prior to making the switch to becoming a barber.

[@santoscamacho3361]

Wow I Can't Believe you came to San Antonio!..Awesome!..I've always wanted to be on your Channel!..Lol One day who knows..Hope you enjoyed your stay .

[@heaton5228]

Can I ask do you have to pay the barber extra money for length of extra time that is needed to cut your hair for your videos and for lost of other customers not be allowed in the shop because you locked the door 😂 fantastic video by the way love it

[@Dell2xx]

idk if u get this alot but whoever is behind that camera deserves alot of the respect cause holding that camera for almost a hour is insane tru talent fr fr keep doing your thing harry!!

[@SHADOWISDOM]

Agreed 😅😊

[@HairCutHarry]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Gsmf652]

i think its his mystery woman helping with filming ❤❤

[@classictowers668]

Oh right! There's no ummm, no... Cuts! 😂

[@paulhayes354]

Locking the door reminds me of the scene from a Bronx Tale. ‘We asked you to leave but now you’s can't leave’ 😂

[@josephdoiron8376]

paulhayes354. Harry's going to let him off easy just this once! Next time the gloves come off!

[@rungfang27]

Ah I was thinking the samething,just could not place the movie. Thanks going to go watch it now!

[@Stayhumblefootieguy]

Love that scene they sure got taught a lesson

[@idrisnurrohman2218]

Amazing film

[@giff74]

He put an outstanding amount of effort into that haircut! I wish all barbers worked that hard to make their clients look great. Keep up the good stuff!👍

[@whitebathroomguy]

Here we go again, Harry thinking he's the owner of the barber shop... casually walks in and then suddenly turns around and locks the door...😂

[@paiv4256]

Harry's getting bolder, soon he's gonna be entering those barbershops like a cowboy walking into a saloon - just kicking the door

[@Ant-bm1qk]

It looks like he’s about to commit extortion lol

[@zombiTrout]

He’s the godfather to all the barbers. Pay up or he’s taking thumbs.

[@lazerhawks]

The barber is locked in there with HIM

[@GenGamesUniverse]

@@zombiTrout He's gonna make them an offer they can't refuse!

[@thorcrom1366]

The two Mike Vallely skateboard decks hanging on the wall. Legendary.

[@BigBadWolf1st]

Something about the sound of scissors puts me in total relaxation mode. I nodded off like 4 times watching this.

[@masspunk1983]

Thank you for your videos. As someone who’s autistic they really relax me with the calm sounds

[@HairCutHarry]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏼 Glad you find our videos relaxing :)

[@jesusMarquez-me3yv]

The excitement I got from reading the title seeing that you finally made it to San Antonio, my hometown. I’ve been a follower since 2019. Great haircut by Tommie.

[@Ben_Mdws]

Absolutely love the pure scissor cuts - Tommie has great skill.

[@PuroHandsomeBarbershop]

Thank you!! ✂️

[@Run_STP]

Tommie is someone I look up to a lot and have for a long time, a great example of a great barber, great person, and great leader ! Love to see this ! Congrats from MN Tommie ! 🎉

[@PuroHandsomeBarbershop]

🤎🤎🤎

[@ElDocBruh]

Oh this is a special one. I'm 100% playing this a few more times this week while working

[@waynesbutler7834]

The fact that you have been follically blessed makes the barbers you visit , worldwide in most cases , their jobs so much easier with all the creative freedom you give them , always a work of art and a joy to watch . Filming has high production quality too .

[@schmoopyboopy]

I've watched all your videos, and this might be the best. It's just perfect. 10 out of 10, thank you Harry!

[@robisherwood527]

My fave is the Lisbon video. I love it.

[@eyeopener1993]

Scissor cuts are the best.

[@HairCutHarry]

Thanks for watching 💈✂️

[@nvincenti]

One of the most powerful asmr video ever. Still trying (this is my fifth attempt) to watch it from start to finish, but I keep falling to sleep

[@Piolin333]

I know I keep falling asleep too. It's really nice and......😴

[@davidruddick3346]

After a slightly less than perfect morning,glad to chill to Harry👍Don’t know why but these videos calm me down🤔

[@shepherdfire]

Tommie is Amazing! Love how he uses the scissors for so much of the haircut. Amazing!

[@FerretySatzuma]

Best way to start the week. Loved the style of the shop and technique. The camera shots from the mistery woman are top notch as always. Thanks Harry

[@katesitzer6039]

Fantastic! Loved the video! Scissor cuts are always my favorite.

[@HairCutHarry]

Great to hear you enjoyed the new video with Tommie 💈✂️ Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@DIYTutorialGuy]

The camera magic is next level! As always, great work showcasing another unique barber and his shop!

[@brenthooton3412]

0:26 "Chin up for me, please" Just had a flashback and now I'm expecting to hear about the daily foaming cleansah

[@sackwhacker]

wow, what a masterpiece!!! Keep it up Harry!

[@The_Oracle_of_time]

What a privilege it is to be allowed to watch these craftsmen at work.

[@QueenJaneway]

I just love the "gripping _object_ shot", it's just satisfying!

[@lisal7287]

Love it! He really knows and loves his craft

[@fedenewellscarajo]

I think this one is going to hit the million views very quickly.

[@HairCutHarry]

That would be awesome! 🙌🏼💈❤️

[@josephdoiron8376]

If harry gets a mohawk one of these days, that video will break the internet, seeing how he always tells the barber, " do whatever you like!"

[@Paduwon]

I truly wonder what his reaction would be if someone actually gave him that lol

[@nickp9992]

That's why he locks the door, insurance

[@peteroth7511]

**barber gives full face hot towel, the hits the lights and leaves**

[@josephdoiron8376]

chaselancon1773. I believe someone gave him a rather elevated rockabilly haircut one time. Although it wasn't too far over the top.

[@josephdoiron8376]

nickp9992. Lol. Locking the door is Harry's passive aggressive way of letting him know who's the boss and thats he's going to get a great haircut!

[@Night_Owl2023]

This is another great, classic video to relax to. What a great channel. Looking good Harry.

[@JasonRuppVlog]

Always the king. Thumbs up!!!!❤❤❤

[@HairCutHarry]

Hey Jason ❤️❤️❤️

[@adnansheikh3678]

Super cool skill he have..grt vdo n yes did someone noticed tht people walking backwards outside shop 😂 grt editing as usual

[@christianortiz4671]

Instant classic! Great attention to detail.

[@Thezapatabrandpodcast]

This is one of my favorites! Perfect before bedtime

[@JamesPalomo-ht8ic]

Harry I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos for years. Glad to see you visiting my hometown! I hope you enjoyed San Antonio.

[@HairCutHarry]

Thank you so much for being with us over the years 🙏🏼 We had a great time visiting San Antonio and hanging out with Tommie!

Thank you for sharing this and making so many people’s day. It has made mine! Commenting for the algorithm.

[@toddhensley880]

What a great bio and reminder that you can always choose a new adventure in life if you are no longer happy with what you are doing!

[@Dogfish1975]

A good haircut can make you feel better. It’s great for the soul. Keep up the great work.

[@cavscout6b]

Some of the old vintage barber shop signs, used to say; "Look better; Feel better". I found this to be true.

[@jerrynuccio9309]

Love the scissors Harry! Great work as always!

[@programmerx8455]

The locking of the door is great lol

[@theabonesu]

that guys is a lowkey boss and he made you look like a boss

[@DavidKarlsson-ti6sb]

Love it when the barber has long sleeves. Captures the activity so much better when the mics are on cuffs.

[@Wells306]

An all scissor cut?! Might be my new favorite since Calen at Electric Barbering.

[@HairCutHarry]

Hope you like it 💈✂️

[@Oh_ItsClips_ItsClips]

I like the stories behind the barbers and their shops. The haircut too, obviously. So relaxing

[@jeanfonsse5889]

Wow! this is the most precise haircut I've ever seen. This guy cuts hairs like a mathematician working on the proof of a difficult theorem.

[@paiman1976]

My jaw dropped @ 3:17 when the master barber showed his scissors stance. The last time i had such a reaction to a blade was when Darth Maul first revealed his double bladed lightsaber in the phantom menace.

[@macsdaddy3383]

Harry, Wish I had known you were in town. I was always wondering if I would ever come upon the chance to get a haircut or shave in one of the shops that you have featured in your wonderful videos. Now that possibility is certainly in reach. All I have to do now is to muster up enough courage to take my life in my hands driving 25 miles south on I-35 to come visit his shop. But I will!

[@glenngoins3100]

Awesome hair cut!

[@ericrittenhouse]

World travel, cultural education, opportunity to admire skilled craftsmen/woman, relaxation and interesting camera work. These videos have it all. Thank you.

[@rolanddoe950]

Thank God! I needed a new video today. Thanks, Harry!

[@samgreenwood8313]

I usually just listen to these, but then i spotted some more black magic going on at 13:36 and now im thoroughly invested in watching the whole thing in detail XD

[@HairCutHarry]

Keep watching for more 🤣

[@tortinwall]

Never mind the walking backwards. How did that car disappear behind a clear glass window at 23:59?

[@ZavtoKino]

1:51 as well haha

[@garymckown8779]

When Harry says, "You can do whatever you want," is he secretly wishing someone would finally give him a huge pink mohawk?????

[@stevenfrost6441]

Harry is back in my Home State of Texas! Tommie was a superb Barber with a really slick shop! I Hope you enjoyed your stay and got to eat some good Bar-B-Q while you were there! ♥👍

i can't till the day harry walks into a barber shop and when he says "you can do what ever you like!" the barber pulls out the clippers and gives him a mohawk!!! 😆🤣

Walking backwards

[@drateryako]

i watched that back a couple times. had to make sure i was seeing right 😄

[@johnobrien8585]

Their are many camera “tricks” sprinkled throughout their videos. I remember seeing one where Harry or the barber wasn’t reflecting in the mirror for one shot. Classic stuff!

[@sebastianschmidt3869]

I think it's an editing trick (reversed video).

[@nickp9992]

@@sebastianschmidt3869 Yes, I was thinking the same thing after a little thought, because it's just a two second shot.

Scissor technique especially the way he holds it is unusual.. Man does nice work.

[@Fire-s9s]

Nice haircut. I do have one question. He used the matte clay on Harry’s hair at the end but he also used matte clay after he got done finishing shaving his neck. Not sure if that was the right application. Aftershave is probably a better choice.

[@stevesherick6846]

Scissor cuts with a razor finish are the best!
