💈 성우이용원 Haircut & Hair Styling in South Korea's Oldest Barbershop | Seongu Barber Shop Seoul

Haircut and hair styling in the 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 worked with his dad all the way up until the 1970s when his dad decided to retire.
We stopped by the shop to film on a weekday afternoon thinking perhaps it might be quieter during a weekday as opposed to the weekend. We found Mr. Lee had a regular stream of customers coming by the shop so when it was our turn, I hopped into the chair and the camera started to roll!
Mr. Lee is a little over 5’ tall so uses a footstool to stand on while working on his customers. You’ll also see him 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.
He still lathers up his shaving soap on the side of a hot water pot heated on a charcoal stove and uses watering cans to wash your hair as well as does a vinegar rinse.

This barber shop has been opened since 1927. Master Lee’s grandfather started the barber shop. And the tools that Mr. Lee use are very classic, especially a razor was manufactured in 19th Century. Also this barber shop is officially chosen as the heritage of Seoul City. As a seoulite, I’m very proud of this shop.

I see what he did there at 20:30. That's quite clever. He used the white powder as a marker of sorts so that he could evenly blend it as he goes, since as he travels upwards while cutting the white powder will disappear as the hair falls off with it. So he can use the powder as a guideline to make sure the whole thing is even, since he's only using scissors.

[@CarlosHlavacek]

Justamente me preguntaba eso. Llegué casi a la misma conclusión pero en el minuto 21:00 cuando empezó a cortar, comprendí, que entendí mal. Pensaba que usaba como un marcador de lo que sobresalía, pero eso no era correcto. Hasta que leí su comentario, señor @Superintendent_ChaImers. Gracias por la aclaración!!!

I used to grow my hair out long, and I would go to an old WWII vet barber, every 3 years. The only haircut he gave was a flat top. He had so much pride ( and joy) making a long haired skater, look like a Marine, every 3 years. Thank you Glenn. ( Spring Branch, Houston, Texas.) He has since passed many years ago.

One technique he used is sommething I've never heard of or thought of doing. At 20:30 he puts thewhite powder on his hair very lightly just on the very top layer of hair to act as a marker while he's blending and fading so he can track it as a highly visible guideline for maximum accuracy.

I agree😆 All this kind of barbershop had been vanished now in korea. So This became the most iconic barbershop in South Korea now

[@LRGSteezin]

I agree 100%. One of the cleanest haircuts Harry has gotten by far

This barber is a true master craftsman. From making sure he looks good then the technique. Years of experience you can just see it.

[@mcdanielvalerie0]

The barber is legendary and his hospitality is something special. I like how he dolled himself up and fixed his hair before he started cutting the client's hair.

[@fixwesker3391]

I don't know why, but watch this video every day, it's amazing to see how professional he is.

[@mayaamis]

wow an old school professional service you don't see much anymore these days, the salon looks modest but he make so much effort in your comfort it looks more enjoyable than most fancy high end places... and most importantly, Mr. Lee is such a master with scissors!!!

The one thing I love about this is how nice and relaxing it is in the shop, although there are people inside it’s a calm environment and you can fully enjoy your experience. Kudos.

At the beginning of this video I didn't think that guy's hair was long enough for a cut, but after watching the master at work, I realize that guy was practically a hippie.

[@jaydavies-burrell5952]

As a professional hairdresser who used to work in a very well known salon where we have shops all over the world I travelled to South Korea to learn the old school method and let’s say my customers love it. I now have my own hair salon where I specialise in men’s hair only and the business has simply grown from strength to strength since I started to use these methods.

[@lustwaffe9000]

Where in Korea did you learn? These old school joints are pretty rare in Seoul too these days.

This man is a true master. Hair looks great, Harry.

I love when I get a quiet hairdresser and can just relax and enjoy the experience without having to talk the whole time. I loved how he blow dried the hair so gingerly. So many asmr tingles!

[@bonaventura7808]

Actually, when he speaks with Korean, he talks too much lol 😅 I expected ASMR, but feeling like teacher's lecture.

Have to admit I have been watching these videos of haircut Harry to fall asleep for a few years now and this one is like an old friend.

I noticed he placed the fan in such a way that the air would reach the person getting his hair cut. I think that's so smart

Dude is very skilled at his craft...The most enjoyable thing to me on Harry's videos is the subtle differences seemingly every barber has...They put their own unique spins on their jobs, and its interesting to see what so many different cultures come up with...This guy is awesome...An old school type barber, that seems like a nice gentleman...Great work as always Harry

[@mjmartinejohn]

The shape he gets with a texturizing shear is incredible. Perfect for your hair type.
