Mr. Shimomae was 78 years old when we filmed with him and told us he didn’t need eyeglasses yet 🤓 Each year Mr Shimomae asks us to update his age in the YouTube video title to reflect his current age ❤️😊

He has been barbering for 60+ years. Beginning when he was 15 years old and learning from his father who owned this shop. So Mr. Shimomae has been here ever since.

For the past 17 years, he’s been writing a daily blog post ✍🏼 He writes his thoughts about Kyoto, the world, and daily life. Of course, he has seen many changes throughout the years in Kyoto…

✨ What is Mr. Shimomae’s life advice?

“Not rejecting people who come, not chasing after people who leave is best.” -Shimomae Kunihiro

He says that’s always how he tries to live. “People who leave have a reason for that, so you should let them go.”

Mr. Shimomae is happy that customers visit him after seeing the original video we filmed with him in 2019! 🙌🏼 He shows his customers a note stating the following:

“Welcome back. How did you find out about my shop?"

"I have been working as a hairdresser for 63 years. I am 78 years old now. I haven’t built up enough career, but I may not be able to cut your hair to your liking. If you ask me to leave it to you, I will do my best to create your hair and give you a pleasant shave."

"I’m 78 now, but when I was younger, I was good at cutting hair and was able to get the job done quickly. It’s a pity I didn’t have a connection with you when I was young.”

What Mr. Shimomae enjoys most about his work is when customers are satisfied and feel good! 💈❤️
