💈 Ready To Relax With Mr. Lee’s Haircut At The Remodeled 성우이용원 Seongu Barbershop | Seoul

Relaxing haircut & hair styling in the newly remodeled "historic" 성우이용원 Seongu Barbershop in Seoul, South Korea.
In 1927, Mr. Lee’s grandfather opened the barbershop. At that time, he was the second Korean who was given a permit for barbering by the occupying Japanese.
It was in the 1960s when Mr. Lee began cutting hair. He learned everything from his dad and worked with him until his dad decided to retire. In the 1960s, Mr. Lee remembers there used to be 4-5 barbers working at the shop.
Shortly after filming with Mr. Lee in 2019, a severe storm damaged his shop beyond repair. Mr. Lee told us thankfully no customers were in the shop at the time!
Sadly, restoration was not possible so a new barbershop was constructed instead. Mr. Lee says he is very happy with the new shop and enjoys working there 💈❤️ He has been overwhelmed with lots of new customers visiting the shop now so he continues to be very busy cutting hair.
Although his beloved shop has changed, inside the spirit of the old shop remains... The potato starch, watering cans, bar soap to wash your hair, vinegar rinse, pink towels, and red phone ☎️
Mr. Lee has been keeping an eye on the number of views his videos have and is amazed with the popularity of our original videos! 🙌🏼

Mr. Lee is a little over 5’ tall so uses a footstool to stand on while working with his customers. You’ll also see him still using potato starch in my hair as a visual aid. In the past, barbers used powders that contained asbestos so Mr. Lee switched to potato starch as it is not harmful.

Thank you so much for stopping by and watching 🙏🏼 It was great to visit Mr. Lee’s remodeled shop and catch up with him! In case you missed the original videos we filmed with him, you can watch them here👇🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn-Tf6GbfMt_g7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYGqdoxoq9lko8k

[@mscreationworks5787]

Love from South India ❤

[@nubiapassos1687]

Harry, retorne também à barbearia Sweeney Ted… Na minha opinião, os melhores cortes no seu cabelo foram de três asiáticos: Sr. Lee, Jimmy da Okid e Ted, da Sweeney Ted.

[@waynet.837]

Nice.

[@colinrickatson6320]

These 2 original videos with Mr. Lee live in my mind rent free!! I'm sure this one will as well :D Cheers Harry!!

[@scottkurschinske907]

Harry, the minute I saw you return to OKID, I knew you'd have to stop by Mr. Lee's! I've been sooo excited for this video. The first one is my all-time favorite, and this follow-up did not disappoint either. I'm thrilled for his new, updated shop. He deserves it so very much. His passion for the craft is evident. I cannot stop smiling while watching this. I'll be repeating this one for weeks! ❤️💈🇰🇷

[@Humanwall123]

I still watch the original Seongu video after all these years. Prime ASMR content

[@johnnyfrost12mars2]

Samesies

[@Funkjunk3250]

I love the sound of the dry shave in those. 😊

[@hudsonquay]

The original and best

[@ExelArts]

Same

[@marcomarco9770]

me too

[@tobybll]

NO WAY! This was one of my fav. barbers on your channel and you went back to him, marvelous!

[@williamgilmore4287]

Even has the same dude looking out the windows! hahaha!

[@hoodglasses8237]

noooooo waaaaaaaaaaay

[@stockvirgo1]

I have wondered over the years since Covid how he was doing and if he was still in business! it’s wonderful to see him in a new place and still using that same comb at the end!

[@petestaint8312]

Woohoo! Love this guy. 👍

[@GoatCharles]

Facts 🔥

[@himangshusarma1674]

No doubt on Mr. Lee's skill and professionalism, Somewhere I miss watching his old vintage barbershop. That shop was an absolute ASMR element.

[@mwillgo]

It made my day to see that you were back at Mr. Lee’s shop. The remodel looks fantastic. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched the original video.

[@sloth69420]

I like it that he still has the same layout in the shop after the renovation, really brings back memories. Cherry on the top was the guy standing by the window at the end similarly to the old video😄

[@ge569]

Knowing Harry's style this was no coincidence

[@ShaneEnochs]

I can't put into words the normal level of excitement I feel when I see you release a haircut video. Seeing you back with Mr Lee like quadruples that excitement!

[@thomaswagner8379]

Me too

[@samoates3239]

What’s life come to 😂

[@pmh340]

Total y absolutamente de acuerdo.

[@Glumyy]

The way he setup the cape at the beginning is the most ingenious way I've ever seen someone do that, it was legitimately fascinating to watch

[@Heavyweight-kh8ss]

Like a mad scientist.

[@anytimeangelo8852]

Love how he has a detachable shower now but still opts for the watering can 😂 love it!

[@OxStong]

man loves the classics lol

[@drbeergood]

I’m unable to watch the whole video because I keep rewinding the first couple of minutes mesmerized by the detail and care Mr. Lee takes in perfectly fitting the barber cape.

[@MightyMuffins]

OH YES!!! Harry has returned to probably the top barber on the channel! The King has Returned! So cool that even after a remolded shop he still uses the water cans. :)

[@hoovercamaro]

Angel on Route 66 is Better

[@cirgaa]

Best...thanks from Serbia

[@hakanhasancebi1178]

THE KING of the barbers!

[@carlschumacher3257]

to cheap to modernize, probably.

[@pmh340]

Me encantan las regaderas azules !!!

[@sackwhacker]

I hope he never throws away his watering cans, this is a classic!

[@slikhaartv]

Such a relaxing video! And Mr.Lee is an absolute professional! 🤩

[@fozyk1099]

Why have you guys stop doing ASMR videos? They were so good.

[@slikhaartv]

@@fozyk1099 Thanks for asking and for the nice words! 😊 We saw that those videos took us on a path we did not want to go, so we stopped making them :)

[@fozyk1099]

@@slikhaartv That's understandable. Good luck on your future endeavours 👍

[@jacobmcmahan6227]

He could’ve at least replaced those nasty buckets

[@98.11Deet]

The first Seongu video with Mr. Lee is one of my all time favorite youtube videos. Sad to hear that his old shop was destroyed, but glad to see him back at it! Thanks for sharing!!

[@diegorueda3218]

Igualmente el mío también 😊

[@wop60]

His shop has been renewed and looks better, but the guy standing at the window is still the same

[@annettepap6618]

Was war passiert?????

[@strange_waverly]

He was my favorite too

[@christophertracy2807]

THat old shop looked like something out of a horror movie.

[@nancytimpa1981]

Love that Mr. Lee is still using his watering can!

[@admiralYamamoto_]

If you enter a barber shop, and you see an old man cutting hair, you know you gonna get a fantastic haircut

[@zubaerahmedsentu9804]

His old shop was a classic ❤️

[@SaulAguilar.]

35:08 bro still standing there after all these years 😂

[@jayclarke1265]

From a man who’s beat cancer I can say thank you Harry for giving me and others abit of relaxation in life and forget about the bad things

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

I don't think many people realize how impressive this man's cutting technique is. He cuts hair how they're supposed to be cut, meaning based on your head shape and how your hair naturally falls. There's no fancy stuff, but you can notice in the end how natural and nice it looks on Harry. It's becoming a lost art of the older gen of barbers.

[@jrromo6993]

The living legend himself mr Lee, good to see him alive and well. Hope all is well with you and yours, Harry. Keep the good videos coming. We love them.

[@otleon]

Nothing guarantees more a good night sleep than bringing back a classic! Mr. Lee is amazing! Thanks Harry for this gem! 👍😊

[@lestivers987]

Cannot stay awake!

[@dgalaviz88]

I'm loving the nods of affirmation Mr. Lee gives himself such as at minute 28:07. Just making sure he's doing his best.❣

[@horacechincer]

I have dreamed of traveling halfway around the world just to get my hair cut in this shop, by this man. I have never had such a thought in my life.

[@elviso68]

I love, how Mr. Lee is working with his old gimmick in new scenery - incredible and it gives genius loci for remodeled Seongu barbershop with heart-warming atmosphere. And little notice - Harry is already shaved in the end - so - next video is almost here 🙃

[@Marlon5k]

OMG! This is wonderful storytelling. Thank you Harry, this journey alongside Mr. Lee is a heartwarming one

[@williamstrong3639]

You

[@skipgiblets]

Crazy to see him in a new shop, but I am happy for him! I am glad he kept so many of the little elements to keep it in his style.

[@MaZterExplodR]

I’m so glad Mr. Lee is still around doing his thing. The shop looks great

[@rumpelstinskin]

The first haircut video was the best asmr of my life. And we get a second one? THANK YOU

[@stevemacqueen4805]

He’s like getting a haircut from your grandfather, no screwing around love it

[@clarkdubya2]

I love the thoroughness with which he puts the cape on, truly committed to his craft, from start to finish. He's got you wrapped up in there like a big ole dumpling!

[@alanteder3462]

Harry, it is so wonderful to see you back with Mr. Lee at the new Seongo Barbershop. Your return visits to shops previously visited are always a pleasure. Thank you for your continued excellent work and that of Mystery Woman 😊!

[@Dark00Spade]

Your previous videos about this man are my favourite on the channel! (with Angel being a close second). I'm so happy to see you go back one more time and so glad to see him doing good. Thanks for the gift Harry!

[@user-st3vv9jr7b]

For a moment I doubted my eyes. This video is like a grandson who played at his grandmother's house when he was young comes to her house as an adult and recalls old memories.

[@JimLansaw]

First, wow! His shop looks SO different. Second … I’ve watched a number of barbering videos and he’s the ONLY one who, oddly, clamps the drape down around the customer. Third, I cannot believe that I’ve been watching your vides for 10-years beginning with Bombay Barber Shop!

[@HairCutHarry]

Wow, thank you so much for being a part of this channel for 10 years 🙏🏼❤️ It’s crazy how fast the years have flown by and even crazier to think about how our original video from India was filmed in 1999!! It’s been quite the journey, and it has been our pleasure to revisit many amazing people again 💈❤️🙌🏼

[@justintaylor8605]

If there's any barber that a second visit was well worth it, it's for sure this one! Can't wait to see it.

[@briank2102]

This made my whole year I listen to this hair cut at least three times a week to get some good sleep. This man is a legendary and I can’t thank you enough!

[@19Interpol91]

Mr. Lee is always a joy to watch. New shop, but it still has the old school charm.

[@davidcolwell5586]

When Mr. Lee gives you a haircut, he gives you a HAIRCUT! He's probably my favorite. A true professional from start to finish.

[@dawidwojcik659]

Jak wspaniale zobaczyć ponownie wielkiego mistrza! Cudowny człowiek i jego mała konewka. Pozdrowienia z Polski

[@DovahkiinPL]

tak, to prawda :)

[@przemekgolicz1120]

Pozdrawiam

[@krystynaborowy5517]

Pozdrawiam tez oglądam ponownie

[@lizzyaalexis7850]

It's nice to see Harry and Mr. Lee together again! I always return to the previous video! It's one of my favourites!

[@lukethomas658]

I really like Mr. Lee's technique of following and shaping based on how the hair lies. It's like draping vs drafting a clothing pattern. As someone with a lumpy scalp and wavy hair, I'd love to find someone with his methods and talents I'm glad he has a refreshed shop.

[@thekidfromiowa]

He treats it like an art. That's the difference between a barber and a guy who happens to cut hair.

[@talcum1]

You went back for more of that magic, haircut powder. (Can’t get a good cut if the hair isn’t powdered right!) During the first visit, I loved it when Mr. Lee stops to comb his own hair and, later, take a phone call. He's his own person!

[@LoxodonPunisher80]

Wow!! Check out Mr. Lee’s shop! That’s AWESOME!!! So happy Harry has returned and Mr. Lee was able to remodel. Commenting for the algorithm.

[@nubiapassos1687]

Ele voltou à Barbearia Seongu! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jucaresende8642]

O VIDEO ANTERIORMENTE ANTES DA REFORMA. FOI O MELHOR VÍDEO DA HISTÓRIA DE BARBEARIA

[@marcosmaracana]

Ooooohhhhhh! 😯😯😯

[@marcosmaracana]

​@@jucaresende8642Na SUA opinião né?

[@alphirio]

I watched the first video and it's amazing how mr.Lee does the exact same movements he's used to in the old barbershop. All renewed, but same feeling. Great content❤‍🔥

[@JsusGeek]

When he pulled out that bucket for the hairwash... i smiled from ear to ear. Amazing video! I'm glad to see the shop updated, but the techniques are still as old as time. 😊

[@fhkazm]

This is HUGE ! The first video with Mr. Lee was AMAZING ! So exciting to see a new video in the remodeled barbershop ! Strong work H.H. !

[@andyofthewyld]

I was hoping y’all would go back after the remodel. I’m sure Mr. Lee was stoked to have a fresh shop giving even more fresh cuts and shaves! 🤙🏻 I dig the angles y’all took, especially of him going in an out of his drawers, very professional and clean. I also love the fact that even though he has adjustable faucets on his sink, he still uses his old watering can to rinse off the shampoo, keeping some originality.

[@sandlapper9714]

He is the “Bruce Lee” of Barbering. A definite Master of the Art. Thank you for going back and taking us with you as Always Harry!

[@LoganReefTank]

This is the sequel we've all been waiting for!

[@adrianvale4568]

WOW , Mr Lee is top class really , one of my fav barbers , old school , so glad to see him again with you ,his skills are amazing .Can t wait to watch this masterpiece!

[@brandonharrington1422]

Love seeing how much success Mr Lee has had since your last video.

[@JoejjjaGames]

I like how he clicks the comb and scissor together after the end of each layer cut. Like a typewriter resweeping

[@lisal7287]

Awww I love how he kept his blue bucket from his first shop. So cute

[@skdesign98]

So glad to see you return to Mr. Lee's shop Harry. It's nice to see his shop completely redone. He has such a unique way of doing things and is an amazing barber.💈

[@SondaHernandez]

35:05 even in his new remodeled barbershop there is a man stand in front of the window, its just amazing I completely love Seongu

[@epualc]

I still watch the first video with Mr. Lee, miss the old style barbershop. It was timeless and with some sort of vintage charm

[@dirkdiggler7949]

The original Mr. Lee video was one of my favorites, this one is just as good. His shop looks phenomenal!!

[@erich1592]

WOW, the shop looks amazing and he even has new step stools :) this is what hard work and dedication get you in life. Harry your videos are not only relaxing and enjoyable to watch they also show people who take pride in their jobs and show everyone good things come to those who deserve it.

I would be an honour to receive a haircut by Mr. Lee. He is the master at his craft. I can only hope one day.

Your previous videos at the Seongu barbershop are my favorites. The remodeled shop looks fantastic. I am happy that he kept the old blue watering cans!

[@jshulerfl]

I love your channel! And seeing a new video with Mr. Lee made my day. This guy is extremely meticulous and that's what makes it fascinating to watch. He truly loves what he does and it's definitely an art and gift that he has. Love seeing the remodel, and yet I still keep going to back to the original over and over again. 🙂 Keep 'em coming! Have a great week!

[@michelleleboeuf4911]

You started the video with whiskers and ended with a smooth face. I’m looking forward to the shave video!

[@0111DTheProphet]

I wish Mr Lee the happiest life. I hope he knows how he has helped people millions of times sleep to his relaxing haircuts. All around. Has to be the most enjoyable haircut experience for Harry. He literally does everything. Sad he didn't have a self hair adjustment at the beginning though

[@marcosmaracana]

How great to see that Mr. Lee is working in a better structured and cleaner place. Since at this age he is still working, he should at least have a comfortable place to practice his profession. Congratulations on another excellent video sir. Harry! Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷🔰💈

[@Yug10]

Like in the first amazing video.. you can appreciate the difference between a pro and an oriental Master. He is an oriental Master

This man is a master of his craft for sure. Amazing transformation of his shop.

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

Hey, new haircut location for Mr. Lee ! Nevertheless I miss his earlier ancient and cosy barber location a little bit. Fortunately his unique haircut powder technique has remained unchanged 👍.

[@olleschanberg4693]

When he ties and thightens those threads at 01:17 that makes him the best asmr barber ever❤️
