💈 Relaxing Japanese Barber Artistry In 1920s Yamaguchi Barbershop: Haircut, Hair Wash & Head Massage

Yes, we visited @yamaguchi_barber aka The Night Barber! 🎉 Thanks to all of you who suggested we visit; it was a wonderful experience 🙏🏼

Yamaguchi Barber Shop, if you didn't already know, is a 4th generation traditional Japanese barbershop tucked away in the coastal town of Hayama 🌊 Easily reachable by train from Tokyo, it's a popular weekend destination known for its beaches, yachting, windsurfing, and now its Showa-era barbershop!

Yamaguchi Barber Shop originally opened in 1920, but for the last 20 years has been in its current location. Modeled in the Showa era (circa the 1920s - 1980s); natural stained wood, timeless vintage accessories such as the clock, desk calendar, and a vinyl collection that many music buffs would be so jealous of! 🕰️

Slip off your shoes when entering, the interior beckons with a feeling reminiscent of a traditional Japanese public bath house.

At the heart of this intimate barbershop is a desire to provide the best possible hospitality to customers using handed-down family traditions 💈❤️

We were met by 77-year-old Masao Yamaguchi, a 3rd generation barber who works alongside his 4th generation barber son, Taro Yamaguchi. Masao-san has been barbering since he was 17 years old and studied in Yokohama! He likes motorcycles, fishing, and jazz music. Masao-san particularly enjoys listening to Bob James & Stevie Wonder 🎶

Masao-san says he enjoys all aspects of barbering including haircuts and shampooing. You may have seen Masao-san's work on the Yamaguchi Barber YouTube Channel. Masao-san says he loves watching his videos on YouTube!! He is happy when he sees lots of views and interesting comments❣️😊

We also filmed with Taro-san for the Yamaguchi Barber YouTube Channel 🙌🏼

✨ Masao's life advice is to simply, "Follow through with what you want to do!”

In this video, Masao-san provides a relaxing haircut, hair wash, and head & shoulder massage 💇🏻‍♂️ Check out the innovative detachable sink for the hair wash.

[DBurgg]

I love the silence of his barbershop! No idle chatting.💈

[hermanmelville]

These Japanese shops are all just absolutely stunning. Each has its own personality without feeling cluttered or forced. Really feels like you’re seeing an extension of the proprietor.

[kennerly]

Wow what an amazing job visiting so many legends in Japan! Truly impressive work - not just for the ASMR but for capturing the work of so many Japanese masters!

[williamoneal]

This is a master Barber. He is the “best of the best”. Great customer service. 😊😊

[frederic]

Okay, so the guy visits all the legends of Japan in the ASMR sector. Next visit: SWITCHSCISSORS :)

[Amras]

Man’s just pumping out content. I remember the good old days when it would be months between videos. What a time to be alive!

[Brad-in-Texas]

Arigato, Yamaguchi-San! You bring joy when I see how dedicated you are to your craft. I was in Hayama back in wish I knew to stop in for a special experience! Live long and be well. 🇯🇵🇺🇸

[JackMellor]

YES! I love the other videos of this guy on YT! So glad you got to visit him!
Age means nothing in Japan, I reckon he’s as talented and quick as he was in his youth!

[zombiediscosounds]

Proper barber who blends and cuts properly. Best barber yet

[joker]

I'm coming to the realization that a barber massage from Mr Yamaguchi is one of the best things anyone can experience on this earth. Buraboo!

[frank]

😀
Pure Perfection.
I can't imagine what it's like to be in the hands of such a master.
Thank you, Harry, for sharing this with us.

[DanielDenoted]

Harry has consistently found these hidden barbers. Well, was hidden. This gentleman is very popular on the east and his rise started this year and Harry is already there. Thanks Harry for making these dream collaboration videos. Youre really in tune with the top barbers in the world

[wtm]

What an amazing barber, his razor and scissor technique are fabulous.

[donbuche]

Great to see two great ASMR youtubers together. Great video men!!

[rsax]

Harry, Thank you for sharing with all of us. A true delight watching a Master at work. Safe travels and I look forward to your next stop.

[matiassosa]

Pure craft, exquisite technique, precission and good taste. A truly sensei of sccisoring. Thanks Harry for visiting such a great hairdresser.

[moseszainal]

His method is very unorthodox. Its not about precision but rather efficient and suitable. Its amazing to see a master at work.

[giltucker]

Never seen anybody use a straight edge like that with precision

[pandroidigital]

One thing I'll never experience again in life is a haircut since I'm bald. Im envious.
