  • 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.

      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 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. But I carry my tradition, in memory of my WWII vet haircutting retired Marine!

    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.
