  • Traditional wet shave with hair wash & style in the historic 성우이용원 Seongu Barbershop in Seoul, South Korea.
    Mr. Lee, the owner and barber, is 70 years old and is a third-generation barber. He was born in the family home where his grandfather opened the barbershop in 1927. This authentic traditional shop is still in the original location and has changed very little over the decades. Although it used to have a thatched roof that blew off in a storm more than 50 years ago.
    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.
    Mr. Lee is a little over 5’ tall so uses a footstool to stand on while working on his customers. He is also known for using a vinegar rinse after washing your hair.

    Bruh this man prepared your lather on the side of a kitchen pot, shaved your forehead, wet your head with a watering can, and shampooed your hair with a bar of soap...

      The barber is using the soap & natural vinegar to wash his hair because most of shampoos & conditioners are full of chemicals & harsh on scalp & hair.
      Gentle soap would clean the hair perfectly & rinsing with natural vinegar will soften the textures hair & give healthy glow as well!
      It is well known Korean natural remedies.
