Barbering isn't just a job. It's an art form, a culture, and a lifestyle. In this episode of Subculture Club, we take a look at three unique barbershops around Los Angeles and discover why making dudes look their best is their number one priority.

This vid always makes me want to be a barber.

[@AkeemDenim]

I am so happy that I came across this channel. I have so much respect for both the artful craftsman you portray in your videos and for you and your masterful way of sharing these stories. Thanks!

[@2011copaoro]

This has seriously inspired me to become a barber. I'm in an Early College High School and i've always dreamed of becoming a computer technician but until I saw a video by Daniel Alfonso (Hanz de Fuko hairstylist) barbering really took me by surprise. Daniel is really a huge inspiration for me and will continue to be. I have one more year left of school and I really feel that barbering will be my path.

[@dadude_hair]

Keep up the hard work! You are very inspiring and I've learned a lot by looking and listening to you. Thanks for sharing!

[@balibarber]

Bravo from Bali.... we always come back to this video to keep us on course. Very inspiring!

[@calebbravo]

We do consider ourselves as artists. We dont just offer a service. Thanks for the inspiration you guys!

[@JoniOsterlund]

Definitely the barbershops I have to visit in future. Thank you for all these awesome videos, I live for them.

[@Rikitocker]

Bingo, the man nailed it ... 'Make less money and be happy' - that's me through and through. Apparently the job satisfaction of Barbers as a profession is very high - it's a social activity and you get to see the product of your labour walk out the door with a smile on their faces.

[@Pay1]

This is awesome, it shows the different aspects of barbering and different styles also.

[@blakeastorey1]

Great work! This is super cool!

[@oj_uice_4416]

Great video man I loved it 💈

[@blusneaker]

My mom's grandfathers were both barbers in Buffalo, NY. They met as business partners and moved to LA together to start a barber shop in downtown in the 1930s. One of their sons married the other's daughter and the rest is history. They ran a barber shop in the basement of the Security Pacific Bank building in downtown LA for 25 years or so. This video brought back lots of memories of them.

[@billysmart1787]

I love these old school barbershops. I find them very relaxing

[@fxtheproducer]

I wish that this level of passion was over in the UK... America it is!

[@Ziemniak222222]

Real passion. Big up fot these guys!

[@MizzKrazyKrisB]

thoroughly enjoyed it Thrash Lab I love hair! :)

[@Frolessness]

Straight up inspiring. I'm in my first year of college, and I'm just not feeling it. I'm glad these guys found their passion.

[@miavonni]

[@christopherdonahue6425]

Truly inspiring!

[@jodiethompson6353]

AWESOME!!! I have been in the biz for 15 years. The traditional barbershop is making a come back. Men are deciding to be men and go to a place that actually says " Barbershop" The video is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing !!

[@Efrain92]

[@lanadelrykka]

your a great artist , thank you very much,

[@tuiz2]

awesome vid.. barber love

[@doodle_dave_]

i typically go to a barber for my cuts. This last time I got my hair cut at a salon, because I was there waiting for someone. The way it came out, I was horrified. I told her to finish up her cut and paid (yes, I paid, she's only doing her job). I went home and was very close to shaving it all off; instead i went to work the next day with my head down. Immediately following I went right back to my barber and he was able to salvage it. TL;DR: Thank goodness for good barbers who makes cutting hair their art-form.

[@chuy8356]

Never go to a salon for a mans haircut! Barbers are for mens hair.

[@Kncld]

ive been shaving my head for 10+ years and im ready for something new, the closest barber to me is 2 hours away should i travel that far to get the first cut of something new just to try the new haircut or just go to a salon to have it done?

[@Kncld]

***** curly thick hair im to the point to where it stops growing normally and starts to fro out and i need the cut bad, also i have a wedding that im in coming up. what would be worth it to do at this point?

[@xxjrodriguezxx]

so inspiring ..

[@lostpagan1783]

in my fourth month of barber school this gave me some encouragement ive been stressing over money, but this reminded me why i started school in the first place thanks for the video

[@jusinmedina1983]

This is Amazing and I feel inspired to become a Barber or one day open A Barbershop and Tattoo shop. Great guys here

[@TapFJ7829]

I was very happy managed to find a proper gents barbers in Norwich! Uni student, but it's the best thing I've ever found here!

[@spencerdolan324]

I love this video and I love the mentality behind these guys entire set up I work in a boring old man barbershop in nj and I'm trying to bring a younger feel and a more modern approach to an old feeling establishment. People ask me all the time why would I want to become a barber and I tell them well who is gonna cut your hair when gippetto the Guido barber finally kicks the bucket?!?! I'm glad these guys are doing something I can relate to and if I was on the west coast I'd be working for these guys for sure.

[@pablohyslop]

[@bigpatos]

wow! wow! wow! JUST WOW!

[@jejakasombong1]

amazing

[@HuyLe2607]

So beautiful!

[@macallanvintage]

A great way to spend the weekend, or after a hectic day at work, is a nice professional shave and simple facial massage at a vintage and characterful barber shop. When I'm back in the States for a short while, I'll always visit The Modern Man barber shop in Portland. Lovely old school charm, with an adjoining PUB where you'll enjoy your fav whisky or other drinks, have a cigar while waiting, or after your shave and hair cut. BLISS!.

[@MrSoftblankets]

LOVE THIS!

[@trevon2060]

Thank u

[@mad3arber]

Sweet vid

[@TapFJ7829]

@andomaxcha Thanks. It's a good feelin when you hand your client the mirror and they are like real nice work. To know they appreciated your effort is the best feelin to me, n no job I ever had has ever gave that to me.

[@naturalhealthinc]

Nice!

[@DjNead945]

[@manderson77721ma]

Barber love!

[@TUBESTEAKNIG]

[@stemikger]

Good Luck!

[@Rekkless]

Although I prefer to have my hair cut textured and messy, I can't express enough how cool this is that the barber shop is making a come back, that there are business owners who are willing to go the extra mile to make something like a hair cut an experience not just a chore.

[@alexandreaugusto8474]

Novo Conceito de Mercado para o Brasil!!! Valeu!!!

[@BrookLynDaPoetBarber]
