You're fired! Your HAIR is fired, that is.

Have you ever heard of burning the ends of your hair? This video shows an original old vintage barbershop in Dublin, Ireland called "The Waldorf Barbershop" where they still practice "hair singeing". The barber holds a candle flame to the tips of the hair and burns the ends off. You can see in the video how the hair singeing is done. Hair singeing helps to prevent split ends.  

Don't try this at home. Leave it to the professionals at vintage barbershops. 

Don't you just love the look of The Waldorf Barbershop? It originally opened in 1929, but it has been at this location since 1946. 

 

Thank you to DeWittAlbright for posting this great vintage barbershop video on YouTube.
