💈 Relaxing Haircut at Seongu Barbershop | Seoul's Oldest Barbershop

Returning to Mr Lee's Seongu Barbershop in Seoul, South Korea was a delight as I was in for another delicately relaxing haircut experience. Known as one of the oldest barbershops in the country, Seongu Barbershop has a rich history and a reputation for its exceptional service.
Located at 4-1 Hyochangwon-ro 97-gil, Gongdeok-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, Seongu Barbershop offers a tranquil environment where traditional barbering techniques are practiced with utmost precision and care.
As I settled into the barber chair, I could feel the nostalgic atmosphere of the barbershop. The vintage decor and the skilled barbers created an ambiance that harkened back to a bygone era. It was a wonderful blend of tradition and relaxation.
The barber began the haircut with meticulous attention to detail, carefully shaping my hair according to my preferences. Every snip of the scissors and stroke of the comb was executed with precision and expertise. The soothing sound of the shears, combined with the gentle touch of the barber's hands, created a serene environment that put me at ease.
During the haircut, the barber engaged in polite conversation, making the experience not only relaxing but also enjoyable. The combination of skillful craftsmanship and friendly conversation made the visit to Seongu Barbershop a truly pleasant one.
As the haircut neared its completion, the barber skillfully styled my hair, giving it a polished and refined look. The attention to detail in the finishing touches showcased the mastery of the barber and their commitment to providing the best possible haircut experience.
Leaving Seongu Barbershop, I couldn't help but appreciate the dedication to the craft and the preservation of traditional barbering practices. The delicately relaxing haircut and the warm hospitality of the staff left me feeling rejuvenated and satisfied.
If you're in Seoul and seeking a haircut experience that combines tradition, relaxation, and exceptional skill, I highly recommend visiting Mr Lee's Seongu Barbershop. You'll not only receive a superb haircut but also immerse yourself in the rich history of South Korean barbering.

Where is that guy who was staring outside the shop whole time in @haircutharry’s video.

[@nomadbarber]

he was filming it

So the legend was wrong about him.

He got tired

Why does he put a tarp over his customers and why does he Use white powder on your hair before he cuts it?

Love the upgrades to the shop since haircut Harry did a video at the shop

[@MickeyJWind]

i was about to say the same. i know they needed to do this because the place was wrecked due to weather.

Who says that KZbin videos don't support local businesses. Just Sayin!

[@unamed7890]

Me too

[@frankeppenridge2027]

Ditto! Was also just going to comment the same, lol. Got to admit though, the old original shop had hella character. Reminded me of a lot of places there when I was there in ‘84 and ‘85 with the US Army. Nostalgia attack, lol

[@glauco6958]

The old barbershop's roof came down, but since that place is a national historic heritage, as it was the first barbershop to be allowed to operate during the Japanese occupation, the government rebuilt and improved the place.

[@crabapples1995]

He’s had a massive renovation !!

[@nomadbarber]

Lovely little shop

[@bethjones6104]

nice to see Mr. Lee again!! Very talented barber!! Beautiful renovation and much deserved.💙

What a contrast to see Mr Lee's , somewhat, "space-age"-looking "workshop" to that of his original shop which, to be fair, looked like it would collapse if you slammed the door accidently. Always a pleasure to see him at work and thank you Nomad Barber for uploading this.👍

[@michaelfarmhand]

I dare say Mr Lee's old barber shop had a certain charm though

[@rosacamara7435]

OMG!!! I remember when I saw this old video when haircut harry visit this barbershop, a bit forgotten and a little deteriorated, what a huge transformation this new image of this man's barbershop has, awsome, i love it!!!

[@Piolin333]

Love Mr. Lee. A relaxing haircut video from a barber who actually cuts hair and does it well. Instead of these guys who just click scissors and call it ASMR to get views but they actually cut little if any hair. You know who I'm talking about😉

[@dalemartin5133]

To me this is an ASMR classic. I’ve watched it 20+ times since it was posted. Thank you!

[@karinberryman2009]

Very true!

[@bachpain117]

Oh man the scissors sound are magnificent, makes me drowsy and chills down my spine. Love it!!!

[@FitForeGolf_]

Nice and relaxing! So many upgrades to the shop. Glad to see Mr. Lee got the exposure he well deserved.

[@kyleknieriem4205]

Great to see another video with Mr. Lee! His style is definitely pleasing to watch. Great video.

Loved the sounds his old drawers used to make. But new shop is beautiful. Congratulations

Seeing the Nomad Barber turning out to his 38 or his 40 y o is a thing, I enjoyed being your subscriber for this 9 years

[@benjaminsehrer2490]

You know, I've been watching your channel for years... and I absolutely love the evolution of it all... where you were exploring the world to learn and see the full spectrum of the trade... to trying new styles and gaining experience in your studio... to showing such respect to the barbers of the world by creating videos like this. Asmr or not, you really carved out a niche for yourself, sir. Thanks for the content!

Really good to see Mr. Lee. What a champion barber he has been
