A man left people gushing after his latest haircut made him look “30 years younger”. He visited Richmond Barber who worked his magic and surprised him with a game-changing snip
Haircuts can really alter a person’s appearance.
Whether it’s a slight trim or a life-changing cut, sometimes it takes a lot for a person to pluck up the courage to book an appointment at the salon. Now one man is ageing backwards after a dramatic haircut left him “looking 30 years younger”.
In a post on TikTok, user @nguyensteadycutting, known as Richmond Barber with over 1.7million followers, recently surprised a customer with a haircut that knocked a few decades off his appearance. The post starts with the barber lifting the customer’s hat.
Then the man jokes: “I’ve got hair, surprise. At my age, I’ve got some hair.” Speaking with the barber, he tells him: “I’m hoping for the magic ’cause I need to leave here feeling good and feeling a 100% and younger.
“What I want to do is something that’s current, makes me look younger, mid fades and maybe the messy fringe. I put a little dabble to make my hair a little darker. I want to look a little bit more modern.”
Then seconds later, the barber gets to work and dazzles his client with some “magic”. The man looks completely different since the haircut with a textured fringe and mid drop fade on the sides.
Asking him how he feels after the snip, the client says: “Lord Jesus, oh my look at that wow. Oh my God, I feel like I’ve lost weight and gained a personality.
The video scooped 97,000 likes and over 700 comments. One said: “Pops is feeling himself after this cut.” Another added: “Looks great.” While a third admitted: “He looks 30 years younger.” Others couldn’t believe it was the same man.
Meanwhile this isn’t the first time the Virginia-based barber dazzled a client. Just recently, a man with the same haircut since high school finally took the plunge and cut his long locks.
The clip starts with the man admitting he’s been wearing the same style since school and now he’s about to celebrate his 21st birthday, which means he’s had the same look for a really long time.
When asked what he’s opting for, the customer told the barber he’s after a modern mullet but with fades on the side. He also requested for a messy middle part too.
He even told the Richmond Barber everyone is excited about his haircut plans. Then moments later, his hair goes from super long to short, looking unrecognisable along the way.
