Barber Shaves Play Button Into Client’s Hair After He Paused A Video To Show The Hairstyle

Ever experienced going to a hairdresser and just showing the hairstyle you want from a YouTube clip or a photo from social media? Some of us have done it. We see these models and celebrities rocking an awesome hairstyle and we wanted that for ourselves as well. 

So when this man found a haircut that he liked, he showed the video to his barber. Unfortunately for him, his barber was a little bit too detail-oriented.

The client showed a paused video of a man what he wanted to follow the haircut to the barber. By doing so, he thought it was the easiest way to tell the barber the exact style he wanted without having to explain it in details.

However, instead of helping the barber, the video appeared to confuse him. Since it was paused, the “play” button was visible in the screen. 

To be fair with the barber, he did ask if the client wanted to keep the triangle. However, the man had no idea what that meant and probably thought that it was some kind of a barber term, he just said yes.

The barber’s attention to detail was incredible.

And just like that, the customer ended up with two bald triangular patches on his head.

The incident was shared by entertainment blogger, “Tian Xiu Bot,” on China’s Twitter-like platform Weibo. The uploader joked: “There are not so many rigorous hairdressers like this left.”

As expected, netizens were amused with the result.

Some comments read:

“[The hairdresser] indeed copied the model’s hairstyle in the exact way.”

“This is a new trending haircut.”

“I watched (the video) three times before realizing that was a play button.”

The best part? The client seemed to be happy with it!

It seems that the client saw the funny side of the incident. So instead of getting mad at the barber, he decided to go with the flow.
