RiP!

+flagwaver1969 A good barber is always tough to find.

flagwaver1969 I hope my customers feel the same way about me, I've been a barber for 20 years now, hopefully I have made an impact

Rip

Rest In Peace.

How different was the 50s from today?

*_I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. JOHN, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE IN YOUR 40S._*

which street was it? so we can look it up what's there today :))

I remember being in a beauty shop listening to all the old bags conversing... Brutal ! Wow they were wicked !

@@Tony-yg9mc see you wouldn't get that in a classic barbershop, men (or at least men of class) didn't all sit around bitching about their "friends" behind their back. Men told it to your face and in this extremely PC era we live in I feel that comment is now more than ever necessary...I don't care if it's sexist or not (and this is coming from a 22 year old). These kinds of barbershops unfortunately have died out, people who have a real personality are far and few between these days.

Yes. No "fancy" cuts that every 9 year olds have and no powder. A much simpler time.

​@@anniebellemiller2986 Absolutely!

He’s dead 😓😞

It’s me. I’m old as fuck my nigga.

We missed it nothing can be done now.. its all about money today

That's true.

50s post-WWII was a horrible time period for anyone of color in America. While there were some opportunities every advancement was met with negative paranoia from the ruling class from race-mixing, immigration, and communism taking over. Why the 60s time of change was a needed and necessary time period. Unfortunately here it is 60 years later and we are still fighting for equality. Not missing anything from this horrendous time. The only thing cool about the 50s was everyone valued dressing professionally, i.e. getting good haircuts - which I am glad they stated evolved from Egypt.

ObsoleteOddity that's really cool plus I had no idea that there were electric trimmers back in the 50s

Hey, Oddie! Fancy seeing you here.

It's an Oster Latherservice.

It’s a hot lather machine.

I realize I am kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch new series online?

If 40 years wasn’t a career… I don’t know what to say

100 %

Dev9172 Men looked like dorks with their goofy barber shop haircuts.

Metalman200xdamnit cause that’s what they do and so what?tour not there to stare people down your their to get your shyt and leave bye

FACTS but whats wrong with that

Activator Don oh shut up why you lie in that

ok boomer

Judyfan yup beginning of degeneracy and destruction. Blame the government for introducing their drugs for their satanic agendas, once those drugs got pumped people lost their minds and all sense of morality and logic. Sad really sad, the issue is we are all so broken right now due to the degeneracy and lack of proper morality. And yet you still have crazy rich corporate elites that want more and more, they want to drain the American people. All people do now a days is work work work with no sense of anything. They preached love, what they got was the opposite, there was legit love before all that nonsense.

Stealth Boy nah she’s right bro

Exactly

Well said.

Not for black people

@@coochieman4126 so what? This is a video for white people. They were great years then, whoever doesn't like it can kick rocks

@@julian_arness1320 the 50's,weren't a great time for women either

@@MarcusCollins69 who cares?

@@julian_arness1320 "this is a video for white people"💀

The cuts shown here are still blends/fades. They're just not "bald" fades. Anytime you have a shorter length on the sides and longer length on top that are blended into each other with no hard line (chili bowl) it's technically still a fade

@RON776 I go to an awesome barbershop.. there was a time I was going to a salon -actually it was one of those old grandma beauty shops .. the 2 elderly beauticians in there did not scalp me like some of the barbers in the area .. yeah it was awkward at first and a bit embarrassing sitting in there getting shampooed and “creme rinsed” by the old ladies but I got more relaxed after a few visits and for less money she shampooed my hair and gave me a better haircut than the barbers in the area .

Martial Arts2 Racism.

How it really was: 👩🏻🤛👨🏼

@@Literallyryangosling777 Blacks and Hispanics would be told to leave.

@@bluehavencd not always, everyone wasn't racist and not everything is permanently progressing, yes there was racist people as today, but there was also other things that where better, less stress, a higher marriage rate even to the point blacks had more kids in wedlock than whites at one point, you could work a job and afford a home, car vacation, etc on 1 income sold as equality to you but to the elite as 2 working body's for the price of 1.

america was never great

@@whoakaela it was for whites and that's who it was intended for, no one else

I always wished my dad would’ve made me get my feathered hair I’d grown over my ears clipped down really short

I bet the girls laughed their asses off at your buzzed head.

Bro 13 years you still there?

Our barber was nice, but he always scalped us !

+skldezigns That was an absolute hack job, I would refuse to pay for that. In fact, Stevie Wonder could give a better cut than that.

Probably a fob ( fresh outta beauty) school haha

At least it's grown out by now 🤞🏻😁

These were the hairstyle backthen. Like finger waves which no one gets today but they liked it.

@@gameplay-zz finger waves are still worn to date and there’s a reason that cut hasn’t reappeared. It’s awful

THAT WAS A GURL!!!!!

XD

Yes she did! As a Stylist myself, I couldn’t believe that was the end result. The way she was “sliding” her shears, starting from the bottom just made me cringe. I’ve never seen anyone demonstrate a cut, cutting bottom to top. It’s a fast way to mess someone’s hair up royally.

.. and the beauticians/hairdressers wore starched white or pink uniforms with the white shoes. I remembered when I got a haircut from one of those elderly old school beauticians instead of a barber. Good haircut .. surprisingly better than a barber. Just a bit awkward when she shampooed my hair.. and a little embarrassed .

Haha

Actually some tattooed hipster barbers are great. P.S. Cutting my hair myself now, thanks Philips.

Rejects of society these days trying to sell "artistic persuasion" in my honest opinion. Some are talented but most are just freaks looking make a cheap buck.

​@@Tony-yg9mc Well they give tons of service in a salon soo yeah she'd shampoo your hair and do everything you know

Scott Sales please upload that, I really like all these 50s motion pictures

I was learning to cut my hair. Was OK.

Tony Cole Haha my dad always tell me stories when he was a teenager when my grandfather used to drag his ass in for a haircut in the 60s

Ohh nothing like a good ol' ass whoop to the hippies #welovecapitalistoripaganda

Oh the times... Hehe My dad was a strict Christian conservative. And I had Long hair down to my back Inspired by George Harrison. I remember my dad taking me to the barber for a clean buzz.

Gengar Bully .. I loved George Harrison.. his hair was inspiring for us who wanted long hair .. my brother and I never had hair past the bottom of the neck.. dad took us to the old barber who always scalped us... or if the barber was away he’d take us to our neighbors basement beauty shop where an old lady hairdresser shampooed our hair with “girly” smelling shampoo before shearing us with the clippers ...although I actually liked the haircuts by her than the barber .. i didn’t really like it when she washed my hair..

I really want to go for a haircut with my son, just like I did with my father.

Well that's just too bad isn't it Jason? That's be glad you were even born

And two World Wars, and nationals crisis, its not that easy. We lived in peace times, which is good. Lets just keep the good stuff from that era.

That's exactly the part I miss. The literal and proverbial smoke, shave, clubman, and mirrors. A man's man space.

How did you embarrass him?

@@santicheeks1106 arguing about the type of haircut and not letting the barber cut enough off - when it was stfu and get a regular white-wall cheesy hairdo time.

@@passiveaggressivenegotiato8087 🤯🤯🤯

chivasfan28ful The concept of men and women being equal wasn't popular yet in this time period.

Tinyfată I love how you and several other feminists believe that back then women were treated as absolute scum, with a "seen not heard" mentality. Do you scour KZfaq to find these kinds of egregious acts against women?

Feminist fail

redcomic619 7:10 looks like a fade to me bro

Lord Enki You’d get clowned for that cut where I went to school.

@@redcomic619 you'd get clowned for a fade crew cut? What kind of cuts did yall like at your school? purple and green braids? Also tf does it have to do with your first comment, you said no fades, which is wrong he was fading that kids head at 7:11

Lord Enki That qualifies as a fade? That looks like some corny style you’d get at Supercuts. Nothing fresh about that cut at all. Nobody where I came up wore colored braids, that’s the young generation’s thing, but we did rock low skin fades, hi tops, maybe a half moon in the Caesar. Grown man ish.

Fades been around for a while.. also you might consider going to an old school barber shop.. there's still plenty around. Where I go, I get served whiskey and a cigar. And classic music.

Yeah true, imagine what it will be like 10 years from now

Jeez, it’s like some women want a haircut that a traditional stylist can’t do. A stylist can only do basic cuts, while a barber takes a lot of time in his craft. And by the way, there are female barbers and male stylists, it’s just a choice of how deep you want to go into education. God your ignorant.

@@buff.berserker You know he just said how we have changed right? No need to blow a fuze bud.

I was going to a beauty shop for haircuts .. the beauticians did a better job on me than the barbers .. my friends thought I was crazy yet they kept complaining how the barbers butcher them. Yes it was awkward at first being a 25 yr old financial career guy sitting in a beauty shop with pink wall paper and geriatric ladies , having the elderly old school beauticians put pink or blue floral capes on you , shampoo and cut my hair by the window where people can stare at me and leaving smelling of hairspray and perm solution . I got over it after a few visits but it was well worth a good haircut .

Typical client though. You learn how to deal.

Kevin Ceniceros damn your everywhere cat! and nice Contour btw.

+Tony Marinelli A man should always go a barber,screw that unisex bullshit.

Metalman200xdamnit I must admit, for many years I went to a salon. Keep in mind, the reason barbering has become popular again is due in part to men wearing much shorter hair styles again. Back in the late 70's and 80's I as well as many others, had much longer hair. It was the style.

Tony Marinelli I was a kid in the 80's,I remember those horrors well. The shit ton of Aqua Net,and you could not smoke easily without your hair going up in flames.

Tony Marinelli As long as it works for you,who cares right?

Metalman200xdamnit Yes sir, at that time, it was all about the women. Cheers

Yeah just you, it’s his job 🤣

@Dudeawesome1000.. it was probably no different than when I went to a “ unisex” shop for a haircut instead of a barber and had my hair touched and got shampooed by a 75 yr old gray haired chubby beautician lady.. and I was 20 at the time. They actually cut my hair better than the barber but I wasn’t expecting to get my hair washed so it was a bit of a surprise when this old lady said she was going to shampoo my hair .. was the first time I had my hair washed in a shop so I was a bit antsy in the chair and felt a little embarrassed getting my hair washed by this old school beautician although she was very nice and did a good job very thorough . But she had to keep telling me to relax and keep my head all the way back as I sensed she knew I was a bit nervous.
