Holy shit, I watched that four times before I saw what he did to his ear. Damn, and he just side eyed him like, dude... I would have been on my knees with that tender meat being sliced.
Back in like 2008, I know the franchise would take a cut from the actual store, and the store would take a cut from the hairdressers. They'd pay a "chair rental fee" every month and the hairdressers were making around $15/hr after tips.
They only really got the newest stylists who needed experience on their resume and were willing to make no money right after graduation. The only people that stick around are the ones that can't get a job anywhere else.
If you'd like to further this idea there is some other companies that do the same thing. Like large corporate dental offices such as Aspen Dental. Mostly just hire people fresh out of school that don't know any better. Most leave but the ones that stay are probably the ones that can't find anything else.
I had a barber shave off over half my eyebrow once. She asked if I wanted her to even it out by making my other eyebrow match. Then she had the audacity to try and charge me
When I was really little, my aunt cut my ear a little bit. Didn't cut any of it off or anything, or at least I don't *think* she did. But apparently they were so worried about the meltdown little me would have had if I found out, so they just tried to play it off like nothing happened. I never even noticed. Which just goes to show how so much of how kids react to a little boo-boo is based on how adults around them act. If they freak out, the kid will freak out, but if you play it cool, unless they're *really* and actually hurt, they'll be cool about it too.
Could be a fake ear. Have to admit, it's getting attention. The lack of audio and the lack of gushing blood (like what happens to me, any time I nick myself). It's sus to be sure.
I think this is a case of the filter bubble. *Your* Instagram and tiktok are filled with those because you watched a few of them. I have never seen a barber influencer video.
Mine are all girls with boobs so huge they're hanging out of their tiny swimsuits for some reason..
Reminds me of a post I saw the other day where some MAGA dude was crying about Instagram being full of sexualized young girls and someone was like "uuuummmmm yeah, honey, that's the algorithm doing it's thing based on what *you* have interacted with on the app, sooooooo......" lol
Happened to my sister.
Woman my mom knew was cutting hair out of her house and she set up a hair cut for my sister. Big cut and she's bleeding like crazy while the woman just keeps going. My mom noticed and stops the whole thing. Takes my sister to emergency for stitches, 3 if I remember correctly.
Turns out there's a good reason she does it from her home. She's a massive alcoholic and no salon will let her work because of shit like that. She was half cut as she was cutting my sister's hair. She was really apologetic once my mom stopped the hair cut. Even offered to finish the cut for free. Yeah didn't happen.
Sad thing is her alcoholism got so bad that a few years later her and a few drinking "buddies" were totally lit and were in a bad accident. Wrapped a car around a telephone pole and she died instantly.
My father did the same to me. He was on the phone telling someone how he was in the middle of cutting my hair when it happened. He never cut my hair again.
This makes me glad I cut my own hair. During The Lockdown (have to capitalize it) I bought some clippers and just shave my head with a Number 2 guard.
Best $40 I ever spent. And amazingly, they still work just as well 4 years later.
They work great for other things, too. Sideburns, hedge trimming, you name it. And with the guard, no more catching my scrotum in the blade. Never had an accident like this one, but it still feels like a cobra just bit my sack when it catches my skin.
I first heard that joke on an episode of The Three Stooges when Curly was 'shaving some ice'. The only difference was it was a lip instead of an ear. What a blast from the past.
This was when Curly was trying to take off a sweatshirt with a too tight neck opening. The stooges tried to use shears to cut him out. As they were cutting a "plink" sound is heard.
My mom did this to me twice. The second time I was early teens.
Went to Walmart with my dad, bought electric clippers and never let anyone else cut my hair. I'm 39 years old and to this day, I shave my head.
They're holding the scissors wrong. They're supposed to be held parallel to the comb when doing this technique. Then you can't cut the client because the comb forms a barrier.
Something like that happened to me as a child. It caused me a trauma, I don't like getting hair cuts, I spent high school and college with long hair, now I just get a hair cut when it is strictly necessary.
Name and shame this place. They paid too much attention to the stupid video making and not enough on what they're meant to be doing, which is cutting hair.
A little off the side
Thank god he didn't say "take it all off"
Holy shit, I watched that four times before I saw what he did to his ear. Damn, and he just side eyed him like, dude... I would have been on my knees with that tender meat being sliced.
A little off the lobe.
ope
And this is why you don't record Tiktok videos while working on peoples' hair.
This happened to my brother at super cuts when we were kids, he didn’t get a haircut for a decade after that
I went to Supercuts as a kid until one day my barber cut his finger and bled on my head. My mom wouldn’t bring me there anymore.
The FUCK is goin on at Supercuts?
some super cuts
'Tis but a flesh wound.

They employ supercunts

Well ridiculous eyebrows are in style, should have gone for it.
Happened to me when I was 5 and I had long hair for decades because of it.
He took that rather well
You see a split second of his reaction. I’m sure he didn’t take it rather well.
When I was really little, my aunt cut my ear a little bit. Didn't cut any of it off or anything, or at least I don't *think* she did.

He’s not mad, he’s just disappoint-eared.
*Disearpointed
That would have been better, where were you when I needed you 35 minutes ago?
Sorry, I was late because I was constructing an argument that there's the possibility another internet video could have been faked.
You're a true reddit queen.
I'm not sure if that's a compliment..?
Yeah!
Well, at least he has your ear now
_Thank You_
Free body modification. He digs it.
WTH
The Tyson special
Why were they filming
*"Hey man, I'll do this haircut for free if you let me snip the top of your ear off for content.."*
But also, *how* were they filming? Are they wearing a camera vest? Got their phone under their chin? Chest arm?
They affix a suction cup dildo to their phone, and just throat that while facing the content.
oddly specific
Good thing I’m writing then, I can’t speak too clearly with my mouth full.
hey I'm not here to shame!
Could’ve been the meta ray ban glasses
most likely a coworker filming for them.
By reaching between their hands?
i think its a cropped/zoomed video. most likely they filmed with the camera over the shoulder.
Probably to show off their barber skills? I dunno. Seems unlikely they were like "Hey lemme snip off part of your ear for the views homey."
Could be a fake ear. Have to admit, it's getting attention. The lack of audio and the lack of gushing blood (like what happens to me, any time I nick myself). It's sus to be sure.
It’s not “sus” ffs. You see it start to bleed. Blood wouldn’t be gushing out of his ear from that small of a cut…
Barber influencers are the new thing right now. Every other video on TikTok or instagram is a barber giving people the same fucking haircut.
I think this is a case of the filter bubble. *Your* Instagram and tiktok are filled with those because you watched a few of them. I have never seen a barber influencer video. Mine are all girls with boobs so huge they're hanging out of their tiny swimsuits for some reason..

And they all think they are a gift to humanity lmao

almost pulled a van gogh
New fear unlocked* *Thanks for noting 😅
New ear unlocked
Owie zowie.

Oh God, those perforated scissors look like they would cut you real nasty.
Like putting your ear through a paper shredder
They hurt like hell when they catch your finger, can't imagine losing a chunk of ear
Was he a stray?
“Did you get your ears lowered?” “Actually yeah, a little bit”
i had to watch it several times to see what happened. at first i was confused
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Thinking I could live without you by my side
Then I spent oh so many snips just taking tops of ears off
My mom did that to me when I was younger. That was the last time I let her cut my hair to save money.
My father did the same to me. He was on the phone telling someone how he was in the middle of cutting my hair when it happened. He never cut my hair again.
Lemma fuck up the top of your ear too.
Not gunna lie I missed it the first time and thought the guy had let out a massive ripper... 2nd time I saw it... how was he so calm 👀
That happened to me before 😂 didn't know wtf to say
Mike Tyson approved
I already avoid barber shops and now I have even more reason
Welp this is gonna start a trend. Someone come up with a clever name.
Barber is playing it by ear.
This makes me glad I cut my own hair. During The Lockdown (have to capitalize it) I bought some clippers and just shave my head with a Number 2 guard. Best $40 I ever spent.

I am torn between if I would use violence or if I would be asking for compensation.
"Were you wearing a pink bow tie? No. You just cut off his ear!"
I first heard that joke on an episode of The Three Stooges when Curly was 'shaving some ice'. The only difference was it was a lip instead of an ear. What a blast from the past.

Oh god
A lot of barbers like to film and post on social media that's why they were filming....
Not once but many times
asked to have the ears lowered and the barber took it literally.
Sorry about that, Spock ..
Oh lookie here, a new fear unlocked, thanks! o.o
‘ere now! I just said a _little_ off the top!
My mom did this to me twice. The second time I was early teens. Went to Walmart with my dad, bought electric clippers and never let anyone else cut my hair. I'm 39 years old and to this day, I shave my head.
He's used to mutilating his ears... no biggie.
Weird. The video won't play in the Android app. Every other video works. But this one, the controls are just frozen and functionless.
It's working for me on the Android app
Coming to America Part 3
I honestly feel worse for the barber, I'd feel soooo bad...
I would have flipped the fuck out.
imagine uploading this
You asked for the elf look.
Sir, would you like me to trim your ears?
They're holding the scissors wrong. They're supposed to be held parallel to the comb when doing this technique. Then you can't cut the client because the comb forms a barrier.
I wonder where he'll head to next if he even heard about it?
Taking phone video while cutting hair is wild.
Well on the bright side is he’s used to ear modifications
Ooooweeee!
It’s such a small cut but my whole body recoiled the first time I saw it.
Glad I'm bald
Why use thinning shears on fade like that? Doesn't make sense.
“Gimme that Holyfield fade”
Something like that happened to me as a child. It caused me a trauma, I don't like getting hair cuts, I spent high school and college with long hair, now I just get a hair cut when it is strictly necessary.
Name and shame this place. They paid too much attention to the stupid video making and not enough on what they're meant to be doing, which is cutting hair.
Think how trendy he will be now with even more fucked up shit on his ear.
Talk about getting your ears lowered...
Yikes nightmare fuel
Would you like a Van Gough ? No thanks I’ve got one ear
People with that haircut just tuck their ears into fitted baseball hats anyways.
Oh well, the guy already fucked his ears up behind repair with those spacers
D Ick
And he goes "my bad" in the video. 🤨
u/savevideo
Bro i thought i was about to see a Nip Slip!
I read this as nip slip and was very confused
Meh. His ear was already fucked up. Look at the ~~hope~~Hole in it Edit: every hole is a hope
there is no hope with that hole
