BARBER TOUR: He Gave Me A Beard! NYC

I have a beer officially spray some of the ban hair illusion Don Juan grer my favorite Bodega in New York that's my SP and it kind of helps that there's a Dominican Bodega like to do down oh yeah yeah yeah I need a haircut but first I got to get these drinks from the bodega all right you guys we just wrapped up here I got some Arizona fruit snacks I got this new Sparkling Ice Starburst flavor I got this house all right thanks poppy thank you man so what happens if you're feeling a little fuzzy with your hair in New York City and you don't want to go to one of those new fangled barber shops that cost $100 a cut I'm sure those are great but what if you only have like $30 well you got to go to a Dominican barber and what do you recommend skin fade say low skin fade to a two uh can you shape his uh beard or mustache a little bit and cuz look at this look at this guy look at this mustache I'm feeling fuzzy I just need to get it all you hold texturize no shape shape though make his face look stronger than all yeah and then I I'll give you a skinny mustache okay right hell yeah skinny mustache get go get the skinny mustache not the thick mustache the skinny mustache like you're Asian right you're mainly going to know Barbers that are cutting with scissors and keeping the hair tight not going as low as skin or or showing different type of different type of haircut for example in Chinatown they don't they don't skin it no no around here for example where the Lancey here usually like the Asian people we get they they come here for the for the fade or right because they cannot find it in their own Community can't find it around here they're usually like scissors scissor cuts and and usually like oh has usually Asians go like to those type of hair cuz you probably got like a uh what what fade are you giving him I'm giving him a low a mid drop mid low Drop fade I'm going to drop the shade down so that I'll keep the hair dark and up here you talking about drop the back right here yeah I'm going to drop the back so it's not straight and then going up you know what I'm saying okay so what are you doing right now uh right now I'm going in with the one and A2 going up one more guard this is I I call this like the the detail version the detail part I call the the the zero half and the one and A2 I call it the detail phase cuz this is mainly where you're going to get the detail for the darkness of the head for me as a if I was teaching someone else I'd prefer people to work from the from the bottom up uhhuh because there's uh less risk of mistake and if you do a mistake you can improvise and go a little higher but if you start up from up top and you make a a mistake from up top and it's a little harder to corrected because the hair up top is dark you know what I'm saying right right you know what's really interesting is I heard that uh you know I feel like a lot of Dominicans they came to America the same time that Asians did in the 1960s and 1970s sort of like uh you know typical like parents are are immigrants and then we get born here yeah yeah I feel like we all we have it we had it the same like same timeline yeah and um I feel like we all have that that strictness would you say that shops are like kind of like a cultural Hub in a Dominican Community like you could go see people from the community you can like ask for advice like not just haircuts and stuff I feel like yeah cuz Dominicans are are known for for their loudness and and and their personality that they're always cheerful you know what I'm saying extroverts right exactly so you're always going to find something here if you come to a bar a Dominican barber shop you're always going to find that loudness someone's watching a game on the TV someone's getting a haircut and they're being loud arguing with their Barber doing this doing you know what I'm say on Tik Tok always exactly so and there's always music there's always this you can you can see the culture everywhere in here so that's probably why it's always pulling people to us you know what right right right like you you get a little slice of the Dr in inside of these shops yeah exactly and we always try to keep it that way you know what I'm saying I'm over here hanging my flag right there right it's like we're always like we're we're proud from where we are and it kind of helps that there's a Bodega like two doors down oh yeah yeah yeah yeah so I'm just parting the hair just separating his the longer hair that he has up top with the hair on the side I'm just going to thin this hair I prefer to thin it out okay just so that I can um give it more texture and keep the darkness and the lightness away from from the fade you got to you got to understand so with hair um is the way that they grow out of your head right so they when they grow uh Asian hair is really sometimes they're thick but they're they mainly grow out they go straight out of the head and you guys don't have a lot of hair like you guys don't have a lot of how do I say density FES you know what I'm saying but it's not as dense but the hair is right right so but when you go for example with curly hair or forer hair they when they come out they start Cur curling up and then that also but you guys also have which is the oily nice uh healthy hair with coarse hair they lack the oil and the the keeping the hair moisturized I'm I'm going to fade his sideburns it's going to blend in with the fade after uh I passed the blade here I'm going to skin all of this out make it nice and light so that it flows in with the beard you have to have a beard to flow in with the he he has a beard guys a beer officially what is this what are you eating like the ice cream ice cream ice Mita Mita like is it from Dr Domin from Dominican rep Don ju grocery my favorite Bodega in New York that's about SP most of us have baby hairs that grow around the eyelids right here and they give like a little Shadow to to the face but I've learned to sometimes that if you take it off your face looks a little clear and your your baggy dark eyes don't look as baggy no Morey guys that's the detail work right there not not everybody you wouldn't know that if you if you don't consistently like you know cut hair right right hey get rid of the peach fuzz yo David you look like a designated batter right here like I told you guys earlier right there's a there's a like a light baby hair shadow that grows on the face but people don't people can't see it women like they take it off cuz of their makeup right oh but us we don't really yeah for guys we wouldn't we wouldn't even believe that it would make a difference exactly shadow shadow around here because of the little bab you can see it on the face here like it's way lighter than and we look so when you shave this we're going to see that it looks like almost like clearer yeah you'll see like his skin will will clear up you'll [Music] [Music] see I got a beard he got one you're here at Moran Barber Shop Dominican barber shop what are you about to get r b five on the top skin fit you know what I'm saying got look like you though yeah yeah I actually did have that back then but uh I was just too tired of it though right right you want a lower you want a lower maintenance here absolutely bro absolutely all right well good luck I'm I know you're going to look fresh I get a uh plate with two meats can I do poo G poo G and then can I do the ribs my beard has never looked stronger before listen guys we are just right outside Chinatown On the Border
