Richmond Barber is known for his incredible transformations on clients – and his latest upload on TikTok left many people drooling in the comments section as he looks different
Getting a haircut can really transform your appearance for the better.
But for many people, it can take them a while to finally decide on how to change their look. One teenager who has been rocking the same hairstyle for a while recently visited the Richmond Barber for some much-needed assistance.
Posting a clip with his 1.7million followers on TikTok, the user, known as @nguyensteadycutting, showed off the transformation. The video begins with the client who says: “I kind of look homeless…”
Next the barber asks his customer: “Whose idea was it to let you wear your hair like this?” To which he replies: “Not really any, kind of like a let it do what it wants. See where it gets me, I think it’s finally catching up with me.
“My parents keep telling me I look like that dude from Scooby Doo, Shaggy. It’s rough sometimes. I think I need to do something with it, new year, new me. Honestly I don’t really know what I want. I kind of want a special thing.”

Seconds later, the barber gets to work to show off the teenager’s dramatic transformation. Asking him how he feels before the big reveal, the man replies: “I’m nervous… Holy s***. That is totally different. Wow. That’s fire. I love it. That’s crazy.”
Even his mum thinks he looks good as she can’t recognise him after the transformation. The teenager went from rocking a shaggy hairdo to donning a textured fringe with a mid fade.
The barber made sure he left enough hair to fit the head shape. So now whether it’s straight, wavy or curly, the style can still look good for his client. Since the video was shared, it garnered 33,700 likes and over 300 comments from fans.
One wrote: “His parents are going to be happy.” While another added: “The way my jaw dropped.” A third commented: “He went from looking like a young Woody Alan to a guy that looks so handsome.”
Someone else chimed in: “I love seeing the chain, amazing makeover.” Others were relieved the client liked the do and that it truly boosted his confidence.
