New video: Check out this Black-owned barbershop in Tokyo: ua-cam.com/video/ZaD_xakC84o/v-deo.html
bro the thing he used in your beard is a type of razer we use in Asia
New you were Jamaican lol some if us just have this tone when we speak straight English lol
Those guys did a great job, you should have told them to take some photos of you and use them as advertising in case of other black people come across their shop :)
They actually did.
@@TheBlackExJp That's awesome!
right? so when i walk in im like "ok, they got this"
The cut looked really nice to me. but what does a retired white guy know about black hair.
I got a hair cut in Shanghai once and it appeared they really wanted to touch my hair. Very odd I though. but then I learn Asian hair and Euro hair have a different feel.
@Cee Cee that would weird me out to. My wife is from Shanghai and I'm a white guy from Atlanta. Our first trip back to Shanghai with our son (about 1.5 years old) I noticed the wife's friends liked to feel his hair. That is where I learned the term half-half. :) No meaning, just a descriptor. I was really worried he would be mis-treated because he was mixed. He wasn't. He was treated as special. He carries an American passport but did not require a Chinese via because of Mom.
I don’t know why I expected homie with the dreads to be the main barber 🤣
Lol! That’s what I thought too.
Lol we know why, me too
Ikr😂😂
Cause he has dreads 🤣
@@dreachoo5280 lol
I can’t lie when he started laughing before cutting his hair I was like “yea he finna mess it up”😂😭😭😭
😅😂
Yea that sounded like evil laughter tbh😭
Which one of them was more nervous? We will never know 😂
finna?
You have totally reminded me that its time to test the curls again. Ohh boi.
😂
Collab?
I'm agree with you
they had a whole team ready for you lmao, the haircut looked great Ranzo.
😂
I honestly liked that they brought different people in based on their relative area of expertise. They helped each other help him. Much prefer that to one guy trying to figure it out and messing the hairstyle up.
Dude goes back enough times and he’ll be able to groom them to do his hair with ease. (Pun intended lol)
@@RoseEyed yea i have to do that in areas i live at when i'm not trying to go find a black barber shop too even here in the states. some places cut your hair just fine and i wear my hair long (manbun style crop top with a fade) i just don't get a line up lmao and my haircut turns out just fine. now that i think about it i should get some hair products.
Yah mon!
The fade wasn't that good tho. But they did alright concerning it was their first time
lucky they are decent in comaprison to a black barber . as a black man in america i would say a solid 8/10 which speaks volumes for non traditional barbers for our culture
Yeah pretty decent minus all the frills lmao
Facts
Female barbers are the best but these Japanese guys are on another level haircut are always better there Customer service in general is way better in japan
I gotta agree 8/10 definitely accurate
I would say a 7 because that fade needs work and they made his temples to light . Im a cosmetologist and my son has been cutting his own hair since he was 15 (thanks to me).
The little laugh before the cut got me scared 😭like he meant "Imma shave you till you look like an egg"
😂
😆😆😆💯
Once I saw the dude with the locks I knew you’d be fine… Japanese people have a reputation of mastering their crafts. Whatever they do they want to master it from what I know.
The next kingsman movie should take place in that Japanese barber shop
😂
Truss
I like the fact that they are very attentive.
I said the same thing out loud to myself
Customer service in Japan seems next level
@@mela6885 Japanese culture is heavily ingrained in respect, loyalship, hierachy, and professionalism. They are a buisness culture, and as a business culture they raise there kids with that same level of respect that those kids would need to show their bosses. It's not as liberal in Asian countries as it is in Western.
@@readifdumb 一概にそうとは言えないですね
@@MADS.1965 It might not always be the case, but within buisnesses there is a enforced sense of selflessness that one has for their higher ups and company. It might be a bit of a generalisation, my previous comment, but you see it more often in Eastern countries than you do Western, where people speak their mind/are outspoken.
solid cut. Never seen a black man get his hair washed after the cut and line up.
Yeah I’m actually messing with that.
Might ask for that my next go ‘round.
And a lil massage 🤣
@@TheSublimeLifestyle I would but I’m too vain. That fresh line out the chair can’t be touched. 😂😂
@@keepinitkawaii that’s the future
When I lived in Korea I went through 3 or 4 barbers until I finally found a lady who could cut my hair correctly. The first ones I experimented with had me covering my head with a hat everywhere I went; it was a disaster (they just buzz cut it! You don't buzz cut black hair!). However, I finally found someone I could trust. At first she was really nervous so the lead barber (the shop owner) demonstrated how to cut my hair. Once the newbie was "trained" I always went back to her. She was also cool because she actually researched on how to cut black people's hair because of me! Who knew the barber shop could be a great cultural enlightenment opportunity...
You had the opposite experience to what I had when I went to my first female barber. I guess she did an okay job. But, I wouldn’t go back. She also said she doesn’t do beards. She just takes the hair off your head 😂
I am Korean American, and when I moved out of NY to rural south for school, I could not find a single person who could cut my hair (let alone any Asian folks period lol). I ended up going to black stylist. She killed it too!
Need to go to Japan and cut hair
@@mrclean6379 Yes.
There's some black barber places at itaewon . Just go there
Cutting and trimming black hair is a whole nother school of thought which would surely blow a barbers mind that had never seen nor dealt with cutting black hair. It's to be expected
Funny because my barber who is not black said it is easy but just has to be careful with the hairline 🤣
@@DaLastMonster rare
Yeeeah and he had like 3 people doing his hair lol! See how SPECIAL black people's hair is!
It looks good.
I thought Asian hair is the most complex, that’s why i thought this would be a piece of cake. I’m pretty sure they realized it’s a piece of cake now 😂
Quick tip: always tell a barber that is not familiar with your hair to do the fade 2 cm lower so he/she has a 2cm margin of error to get the fade right. especially if they are beginners, it not only helps the barber but you to connect with your barbers more often.
im a full time barber , that service they gave you is golden .. they did a amazing job no lie
I like it! That's what I like with Japan culture. Not only they cut your hair, they wash it to remove all excess, give you a head and shoulder massage. It's really great.
Foreal they gave a whole service. Wonder how much it costs compared to a black barbershop in U.S.
This is standard practice almost everywhere just not as common in the states but there are shops that provide the service
I thought the hair washing and head massage was normal?
i also thought that was pretty common? they do that all over europe too
it's not a cultural thing haha it really depends on where u get ur hair done! if u choose the 15min express services u'd definitely get cleaned up but the massages aren't a thing
He did a nice job. I would have to see the job a black barber would have done to compare, but without that comparison it looks good.
For sure a black barber would have lined him up.
Honestly, it looks so much better than I'd anticipated. Thad a very good job. Thumbs up!👍🏽
They did a great job. The customer service was on point. I loved the extras.
THEY did great. As a consumer, I really appreciate service. They were attentive, wanting the customer to be pleased. For those reasons anywhere in the world $ 50 dollars is well worth it.
They did a nice job. Also, it looks like they are into total hair care-not just a cut.
They did a good job. The extra care they put into it was great.

first time im watching any video of yours, do i detect a lil jamaican in your accent? a Jamaican asking lol
I am. 🇯🇲
@@TheBlackExJp ayye big ups lol. 🇯🇲
It's not bad they push your line back a little
訪れたいです。彼らはとても親切に見えます😊❤️
He actually did a great job😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
They did a great job in my opinion. Looks clean. 🔥
A willingness to learn and ask questions is always great when cultures meet.
I am a barber in the states, Cleveland Ohio to be exact and to be honest I think the reason it was "expensive" was because not only did he do a haircut but he also did what looked to me as a massage as well.. it was an overall price for all of those services(haircut, wash, massage and hot towel on your neck, etc).
The laugh at the beginning sounded a little sinister 😂😂
They did a good job though! I like how delicate they are and how they include a massage!
The Japanese guy with the locks though? Not gonna lie, he's pulling it off.
Nah fr though. I caught myself wanting be upset but that shit was too clean 😭
Here for it
No u def lied
I’m not feeling it
Na it's clean though
It was cool to see them take this as a teaching/learning moment
They did a stellar job! Your skin is glowing as well! Applause to this barber team.
You should've did what CJ did: walk in with a low fade, have him give you an afro, pay, walk out, then ask for a fade.
Huh? Lol.
@@TheBlackExJp Just messing with you. They did magnificently on the cut; I'm surprised. They brought more over just to make sure things were going good.
@@TheBlackExJp That's a reference to Grand Theft Auto San Andrea's haircut
@@TheBlackExJp it's a Grand theft Auto video game reference
@@thegodterrylawrence LOL i knew Ranzo wasn't gonna get it
I learned to cut my own hair a decade ago when my barber retired and I tried out a few new ones. I usually cut most and have my wife finish up the back. She does ok but every once in a blue moon I'll get: "Oops, it will grow back." A few years back I let my niece (she works in a salon) in Taiwan cut my hair just for kicks to let her get the experience with black hair. It was funny. It turned out ok for her first time, but she really didn't have a clue. We both enjoyed the experience. They did a great job on the cut.
Thanks for sharing bro
i laughed at the oops it'll grow back 😂
Ranzo helps me continue to love this world. And love living here in Japan.
That looked really good. I think the experience and everything they did showed they care.
I can’t lie they did a great job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They actually did a pretty good job, I'm impressed!!
THaT looked like such a great experience...
I'd definitely say Tha $50 was well worth it.
Tha haircut was DoPe, Tha DuDes looked so engaging, genuine and fun to be around.
Everything was just so professional. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Aint gonna lie. It’s actual well done! I would go there myself. Thanks for the video brother
Honestly, I've been watching your channel a long time. I think it looks a lot better than I thought it would. He did a good job.
My shocking visit to a barbershop in Vietnam: ua-cam.com/video/t5MVFHRYpiU/v-deo.html
This is a nice content. For one living in Southeast Asia I can relate to some of your experiences living on this continent. Great cut, they did u real good king. Stay blessed.
Bro, get a friend on one of the US bases and go there. $10.
@@NotTheoryTruth Ohh, that’s a steal. For me, it’s more about convenience and ease of access.
I got a good fade here in the Philippines for $1.
@@jasonwill5949 😮
It’s ok, definitely better than what i’ve seen for people who don’t typically cut black hair.
They did a great job and were soooooo welcoming. I love it!
He did a pretty good job and of course many Asians in the United States and over seas knows how to cut and style black hair
I was nervous but it looks good
This came out much better than i expected
They didn't do a bad job. It will only get better the more you go to him. I do like the fact they were curious and asked you questions.
The whole support gang was there for you
Bro I was nervous for you but he did a good job. I got my haircut in Singapore the lady did job too.
When I got a haircut in Japan they did like a head neck massage for me too. It totally freaked me out since that just isn't haircut culture in the states. I was like... why are you touching me?! Just do my hair! But looking back and after seeing other peoples experiences with getting haircuts in Japan I think it must be a culture thing there.
It’s good for your hair too helps circulate blood to your scalp to massage it
This video shed some light on something I'd never thought of before. Because black hair is different finding a barber in Asia must be a nightmare, for both the person needing a cut and the barber. Thanks for opening my eyes to a question I never knew I needed to ask!
There is something I love about Japanese culture and that is the practice of excellence in everything they do. They showed that with this haircut and how they adapted to learning something they have never done before. They did a great job. I saw a similar approach on a channel where a Japanese person did some braids on an African woman with 4c hair. In many black hairdressers when you walk in with 4c hair a collective sigh of near disgust often goes up 🤦🏿♀️
This shit was wack stop kissing asians ass smh
@@thelastdon9000 It’s not kissing behind it’s just acknowledging there work ethic
lol whatever... any chance to downplay black folks huh. FOH
@@thundermagnificent true
@@thundermagnificent stfu
As a road warrior in Japan, this was an easy click. Happy to see your outcome was ideal as that is not always the case lol
That cut is clean. Good on them. It took 3 guys to do a Marvel vs Capcom tag team, but they pulled through.
Not only do they do a great job but they were so nice! And respectable also focused ☺️
Yoo the guy with the dreads is all dripped out 🔥 💯
Facts lol
For real
That guy’s locs look sick, I wish mine looked that good.
Omg it looks really good!!! I am shook 😳
YO I LOVE THIS VID , man i was nervous for you dude!
That's exactly what I did when I was stationed in Japan. I showed the barber pictures of what I want my hair to look like. My hair came out amazing. Just give them the rundown before they cut your hair.
You have to show a picture and guide the barber in pretty much all non-black barbershops. Otherwise, they're only good for a #1 Jay Z type buzzcut since it's a basic, universal haircut. Latinos are surprisingly very good with afro-hair, though. They're the only exception.
@@Galidorquest well there are a lot of afro-latinos out there so is really not that surprising .
This was interesting. They did pretty good. I was nervous af for you
I have been watching your Video for a very long time and today was the first time i knew that you also from Jamaica too, bro keep up the good work that you do ONE LOVE
Those men did a wonderful job on your hair, everything was on point... Have a beautiful blessed week...
Ah that giggle/laugh was great
I think they did really well. I'm impressed.
It actually came out really good!!
The cut came out good . My heart was definitely pounding watching this
Looks like an amazing experience. I appreciate how they took their time with your hair and especially the line up. But the price tag is extreme lol.
i know people that pay 140-200$ a cut tho...just depends on the barber & his skill/demand
Looks good!!
I absolutely love your accent. Great video! I love culture clash videos like this. Shows how human most humans are. :)
Your haircut looks great. They are professional. Great content. Thanks for sharing.
The haircut looks 100% spot-on.... perfect
Yho, man's did the most, it looks really good.
🤣😂🤣 Before it began, in the intro, when Ranzo sat in the chair.. the barber gave a sinister laugh.. Great intro, Ranzo. You know I had to watch the rest! 🤣👍🏽😊
😂
The cut is on point, the line up was brilliant.
Looks good. I think they wanted to do their best since they were on camera.
They did an excellent job.
Haircut was cool, lucky to have found that shop
New to the channel, was just about to go through your other videos to confirm my suspicions that you are Jamaican, then you said “the most I pay for a cut in Jamaica” lol 😂 big up yourself me boss. New subscriber..
With this level of service I should fly to Japan for my hair cuts. I would have to get the money by doing kick starter campaigns.
I definitely paid for the service 😅
You look awesome! I think they did good
First time watching your vid, the haircut was dope
they are very detailed precise people in everything they do
The “evil ” laugh at the beginning lmao 🤣
They did the best they could do. This was fun.
it actually came out good!
He did a really great job. Simply superb
They are experimenting their skills on him😂😂😂
But the cut is clean and looks nice
@@sunnyj7302 ofcourse yes ✨...they are cute.
@@sushmisushmila3611 yeah but you look cute tho💕
I have gotten a haircut in Japan. They are hipped to the game on what to do if your in the urban parts of Japan.
By the way what camera are you using ranzo?
I used a few. One of which is the 80D.
Nice cut!!! Going to check that place out!
I’m glad they showed what they could do also that guys dreads look clean
Well done, but for the nifty 50?🤔. Thanks for sharing that important information for us, keep up the excellent work and peace, love and soul!
Pretty good, looks good, they did a good job
🙌🏾🙌🏻👏🏼👏🏼 wow I'm impressed for them not usually cutting your texture of hair! Kudos to the barber
You look great man. kingsman are pros!
It's actually not bad.
I tried out a japanese barber back in December.
At the end of it I just wanted him to finish so I could leave.
It was so bad. The man knew he did a bad job too.
They raw 🔥🔥
They did good. It's about the experience. I hope you enjoyed it.
Wow. This is amazing
