💈 Meet 87 Year Old Auntie Lee - South Korea’s First Lady Barber | Sae Eeyongwon - 성북동 새이용원

We are grateful we had the opportunity to meet and film a trim with 87-year old Ms. Lee. She is South Korea’s first ever licensed lady barber, and she loves to cut hair!
Ms. Lee just gave me a trim since I had to save my hair for a haircut with Mr. Lee at Seongu Barbershop. You can watch that video here 👉🏼 • 💈 Ready To Relax With ...
Born in 1936, there have been many losses and tragedies throughout Ms. Lee’s life.
At the age of 19, she began cutting hair and giving shaves. Ms. Lee worked so she could earn money to help provide for her younger siblings. She learned in her dad's barbershop where he kept an eye out for her well-being.
In 1958, Lee Duk-hoon became the first licensed female barber in South Korea.
Her humble barbershop called Sae Eeyongwon - "New Barbershop” ( 성북동 새이용원 ) has been serving the local community for almost 50 years. At 87 years old, Ms. Lee continues taking care of her loyal customers 💈❤️
She says cutting hair is like magic; what you want she can do ✨

[@mrbit10]

loved this, great barber and great moments made, loved the smile at the end that said it all.

[@FleurDeLee23]

Her technique is chaotic but I absolutely love it. She knows exactly what she's doing and she seems so precious.

[@aeonfluxx100]

*I admire you for giving such good people a chance to show their art and kindness to the world. 87 years old, goes straight to work and nails the haircut in less than 10 minutes before leaning against you with that smile is just impressive and pure.*

[@fishaholic6791]

i believe Harry is the one haircut asmr channel that actually uses natural asmr. I’ve seen a lot of spray bottle and clipping videos but a legit haircut is the best asmr

[@rogenizi]

You look terrified

[@zacharyoff6805]

There are tons of real haircut asmr channels, calm down Harry is just the OG

[@andrewmojzer2337]

I think because Harry has always been about showcasing haircut technique and barbers in interesting places first and foremost. Obviously he understands what the asmr crowd wants, but the cut and the barber are the stars of the show.

[@Drumsta0904]

Facts

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

He started doing these videos as a documentary of barbering so ASMR wasn't the focus. It's pure unlike most of the stuff on KZbin.

[@jaydenbailey7015]

Watched every single upload of Harry's for the past 5-6 years and the production quality never ceases to amaze me.

[@hijiSuru]

Mystery Woman does a great job!

[@HairCutHarry]

Hi Jayden - thank you so much for watching and being with us on this journey throughout the years! We appreciate your kind words 🙏🏼 A lot of work goes into each video by everyone involved, and we are always trying to improve!

[@HairCutHarry]

@James S 🙏🏼❤️

[@lizzyaalexis7850]

I can see Ms. Lee being a grandmother figure to everyone she meets. I bet she always greets people with a smile and a kind spirit.

[@slikhaartv]

What an experience! 😱 This is a haircut we would remember for the rest of our lives. And she did a good job 😊

[@juanpepejohns]

Slikhaar commenting on a HairCut Harry video? I would've loved this circa 2012.

[@HiPlains1]

The love he gave in the end of the vid is a treasure. Golden.

[@JasonRuppVlog]

Let's do this. First we 👍 then we watch and relax. ❤

[@georgewhite1972]

Yo Jason!!! 🤜

[@bigcheese6069]

Ohhh damn Mr. Rupp commenting on a haircut Harry video?!? Now that made my day!

[@JasonRuppVlog]

​@@georgewhite1972Yooooooo❤

[@HairCutHarry]

Hi Jason! 😊

[@fozzielife6060]

Keep Harry handsome. Keep Harry making videos!…I’ve heard something similar before, it has a certain ring to it.

[@yunowhatitis6783]

The hug at the end healed my soul.

[@jfvpaul]

This video is pure asmr, great job Harry and please, this 87-year old Ms. Lee must be protected by all costs.

[@Roller_Ghoster]

This lady has got Seoul and passion for cutting hair.

[@timdantzii]

😂

[@stevenfrost6441]

So Good to see you back Harry! ♥This was a real treat! Ms. Lee was so warm and friendly, like a caring Grandmother.♥💈✂👍

[@HairCutHarry]

Hi Steven - it was a pleasure to meet Ms. Lee! She is full of energy and has a big heart 💖

[@timregan1005]

87 and still working incredible.

[@Luke_goalkeeping]

Harry I’ve been watching your videos for some years now and I will say your videos are the best but also the most natural unedited videos on the web, you bring great joy to the community keep it up ✂️💈

[@thegiftofretardness3379]

Unedited? LOL, havn`t you seen Harry`s video on how he`s editing his videos?

[@cynthiaa.deleon7868]

Auntie Lee is precious along with being a fabulous barber. Thank you for sharing, Harry

[@chalzncharge5140]

I was a little nervous in the beginning like others said but by the end when Harry started combing his hair I thought "ok his haircut looks pretty good". He's always such an easy going customer!

[@timvanderbruggen1573]

She should be using a little step like Mister Lee. Awesome vid 👍❤️

[@toddhensley880]

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

[@michaellieberman5231]

Another one to add to my list when I go; feels like all the barbers in S Korea are amazing w their care, attention to detail, and relaxing vibes. Also loving seeing Ms. Lee ..a legend!

[@raine6634]

If she hasn’t passed on by then

[@rafael3787]

Old Barber have all something special, than actual barbers!

[@Q60-i9f]

legit facts

[@ivanmartin1457]

The most satisfying part of this video is how Auntie Lee doesn't allow age to hamper her, just like Angel Delgadillo or Bud Adams (may he rest in peace). Their full dedication is admirable.

[@scottinbristol]

Angel retired 3 years ago

[@gagahe.p6395]

Mr. Angel is still living healthily enjoying his retirement from a barber In Seligman

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

it’s always a pleasure watching Hair Cut 💇‍♂️ Harry go around the world meeting new people and places.

[@HairCutHarry]

Thank you Mark 🙏🏼 Hope you are having a great week!

[@Parkkh2239]

wow... shes almost 90 and still best at her craft... much respect!

[@endlessrage4062]

Watched till the end and it was worse than expected but she’s obviously a lovely lady. Really nice to watch.

[@shinseunghoh]

Thank you very much for visiting old barbershops in Korea, Harry! Great respect.

[@HairCutHarry]

Thank you.😊. We loved Auntie Lee, she is a national treasure! ❤️

[@QueenJaneway]

omg she's so cute at the end there!!!!

[@alohatraveler]

This was great thank you. How amazing she's been doing it so well for so long ❤

[@rsax04]

Always a pleasure watching a master at work. May god bless her with continued health and many many more years. She is a treasure. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

[@ghostwhite1648]

At some point you need to stop when you can no longer do what you need to. This literally was worse than the guy in montana

[@jobmartin9561]

Thanks for the cool video, Harry! Cheers, mate.

[@TARMANandTRASH]

I've never seen a more concerned look on Harry's face during a cut.

[@complexgrafix]

lol

[@paulwharton1850]

Incredible......In so many ways. Many thanks......all the way from London !

[@davidreyes6690]

She's a treasure! Thanks for the view!

[@AdamLAD]

I was unsure how it was going to look after watching, but the final result was actually pretty good 🤣👌. She did a good job.

[@DanielDenoted]

Hairy, that new camera is awesome. You’re gonna get some great shots that we couldn’t have had before bec of it. Thanks!

[@FerretySatzuma]

Thank you for another video Harry, just what I needed to start my week.

[@HairCutHarry]

Hi - thanks for watching & commenting 🙏🏼 Hope you enjoy the new video, and have a great week!

[@michaelshin4111]

Hug at the end... Priceless... 🥰

[@luisleonel6685]

Long live this lady and thank you Harry for your enjoyable videos.

[@selwynseymour3896]

I really enjoy watching your haircut journey. Harry, keep it coming.

[@quaverflava3639]

Harry the best channel on KZbin. He never fails.

[@HairCutHarry]

Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏼❤️ Hope you are well!

[@seantparsons]

That's a really smooth use of a 360 camera, really nicely edited together with the main footage!

[@thegoodgeneral]

Agreed!

[@DIYTutorialGuy]

I love the shops around the world that you choose to showcase. It is a great reminder that we live on an amazing planet, with people who are just as amazing. On a side note, can you explain the periodic female vocals coming from outside the shop? They were intriguing and beautiful.

[@sergiorenatoreyes6967]

I love this so much. Thank you for doing this Harry -- you're the best!

[@HairCutHarry]

Glad you enjoyed the video with Ms. Lee! We enjoyed meeting her 🙌🏼❤️

[@samseuropejourneys838]

Thank you Harry …Caring grandma ❤

[@Amp1771]

I love her little shop

[@edwardcoe7293]

She is just sharp as a tack. Wonderful woman.

[@transmaster]

Wow Sae Eeyongwon is 87 years old, her BBS is pure ambiance.

[@andrewlabat9963]

Reminds me of the hometown barber shops back in the States from years past. Just magical.. The only problem with this video is that it's too short.. 😉

[@mattkevlarlarock5469]

you pick the best shops. sometimes i want the camera man to turn around and just show the shop. they are fascinating.

[@냥냥-y4s]

이덕훈 할머님!! 적지 않은 나이이신데도 끊임없이 직업을 가지고 자부심 가지면서 일하시는게 부럽네요.. thx for introducing her to me
