A man who honours his ancestors, grateful for the guidance they gave him, living his life while building the future. It's just beautiful. That is humility.
Never thought my barber shop would be covered in insider. Got to know many things about him through this video. Recently it has been tough time for him as his shop in Pondy Bazaar got flooded thrice in the month of November. He is a cheerful and a orthodox person.
I'm impressed by how well this video educates people about the different ways people live their lives. I'm here watching TV while there's a man on the other side of the planet working as a hair barber in the middle of India! It's truly amazing.

And someone is dying out of starvation in Africa, someone is trying to escape North Korea, someone is waiting for their turn to pee in Las Vegas, someone is writing this comment and simultaneously getting scolded for putting pasta in cold water and then boiling it 😀.
I'm an agnostic, borderline atheist, but I truly appreciate this man's opening rituals. Giving thanks and showing gratitude every day for what he has in his way must bring a profound sense of pride and home to his business. It's an appreciation that every business owner should have.
@@janossario3527 well, we need to get that out of the way before someone drags in another religion to justify their statement....so declaring it before hand is wiser
This is one humble man who is a master of his craft. Wishing him all the best for his business. To those who plants to visit Chennai and Malaysia, never miss the haircut and head massages at the Indian barber shops.
I like how the show hasn't changed much, gives thanks and prayers to everyone around him, has opening rituals, and is genuinely concerned about the welfare of his clients is refreshing. I've never heard of scalp massages but I think it's a good idea
So enlightening you a bit .. the word shampoo comes from india word champoo which means scalp massage which was done with traditional or cleansers… Brit’s got inspired and stole the concept and name.
As an Indian I can guarantee there is nothing like authentic INDIAN massage. And this is what you will get to see in most of the barbar shops across the country.
It's the techniques which are authentically Indian. Outside they don't do what we call Champi. There are different methods all over the globe, this is as Indian as it gets.
But in my city ghaziabad in up you will get a full 10 min. Head massage and champi which i think u can get all over the india... there is nothing special
I've had my head massaged before in a barber shop. And quite honestly, it's one of the last things I'm always look forward to after my cut is finished. I always give tips to my barber since he's the only one who is able to make me doze off after that massage.
Really nice to see him respect his culture and work. This is a fantastic example of being rooted in culture yet evolving and being relevant in modern times. Kudos to him and his family.
I used to get my haircut in an Indian barbershop when I was in a student exchange program. The barber was from Chennai and we would talk about everything while he massaged my scalp. Oftentimes I would be on the verge of dozing off. It was so pleasant!
In Malaysia, there are barber shops run by Indian descendants like this as well. It was pretty surprising for me when I first went into one and they started massaging me after the haircut but I appreciate the hot towel on my neck afterwards.
Seriously this man kept the traditions followed by his ancestors. This man deserves a lot. Now all are moving to modern techniques but this man is getting success with his old but bold traditions.
I was walking along with my son one day by this shop it so happened that he invited me to bring my son to get a haircut done some day. Will surely visit and share my experience. Good to hear such saloon shops are still well maintained.
You can't walk past without wondering about the old vibes this place gives. It boasts a humble 10 feet store entrance but full of 50s vibe. Another place that talks tradition is Narasus Coffee. It's few shops away from this one.
I had been a tenant in their house, they are a lovely family. They are a family who values every bit of tradition and their life is so simple at home. We cherished and were happy as their tenants
Wow I am so happy that chennai is getting the international recognition it deserves when I speak to people from other countries they only know mumbai delhi and some Kolkata. Never chennai. Thanks for this
Never been to this shop despite it being on the way to my work place. I'll try next time I'm there. A friend of mine runs a saloon himself. And this is so relatable. Thanks for sharing and god bless this man for his humility ❤️👏🏽👍🏽
@@maheswarangnaneswaran5805 Sorry, just seen this message. Wonder why the notification didn't pop-up. The Pondy Bazaar road. This shop is on the opposite side to Big Bazaar.
It ponders my heart seeing such an amazing humble person in this crony era. His heart is filled with deep levels of gratitude so much so that he remembers all his Ancestors & the way he is greeting people & following all the traditional rituals was just next to amazing. This 8 minute video shows me why gratitude is needed for a person to be happy always.
a good head/scalp massage feels amazing. it feels so different from when you give yourself one versus someone else doing it. you can try and replicate it, but it feels different. getting one or giving yourself one are both good for self-care.
This shop is on the way to my office. I am seeing him daily, when he is not busy in his work. He greets people walking by his shop wearing a smile on his face every single time. That's something different of him and other usual people i watch everyday here in chennai. Eventhough his shop is far from my home, I wish to go to this place for haircut.
I wonder why it’s called Kerala hair dressers hah (just finished the video, I see now). What a lovely story and how nice it is that he obviously finds so much joy in up keeping the traditions in a way that honours his ancestors. I wish my Tamil was better so I could understand what he’s saying without subtitles.
I can say that South Asian barbers and Turks are one of the few I know that offers head and back massage to their customers, they are no masseur but the way they take care of their customers by giving them services like this shows how they take barber profession seriously. I worked a long time in the GCC in Middle East where most of the barbershops there are staffed by South Asians or occasional Turks every time I get a trim, after haircut massage are always given by the barbers which is greatly appreciated
I go to a Turkish barbershop. And have been for the last 15 years. I’ve been going to the same guy. He always runs my head before and I love it lol. Sometimes he didn’t and I would get mad lol. It feels sooo good.
Give a haircut to your father atleast once in your life before they enter into their 60's. You both are going to remember those moments for the rest of your life.
The head massage is not necessary or important for a good haircut at all, which is why I love that he does it for every customer. He goes above and beyond, respect.

One can be spiritual without being forced to subscribe to man's inventions.
One way to spot an agnostic or atheist. Oh wait, nvm, they announce it to the world before introducing their name. Lolololol
The opening rituals are not at all based in belief in God. They are based in being thankful as you pointed out

I go to an Indian barber shop here in South Africa 🇿🇦. They are very skilled and humble.
I love this and the way he keeps traditions alive is very commendable. I wish I could have a haircut like this.
This is one my favorite thing to do when im in India. Oh my Lord does it feel like a blessing. The massage they give is next level.

Stop calling official languages regional and maybe people will stop treating them like unequal official languages.
The way this video is shot and made is impeccable
Massive respect.....great at heart...this decade is very different....everyone understands the real meaning behind rituals than underrating it....
Ones who like his daily routine things what he doing. . . He is a happy person . . Money is secondary. . . . Luck man . . Bst of luck
He’s my friend and he gives me a wide smile daily whenever I go for running by this shop
Holy crap. I used to be a regular at this shop. I always have the guy cutting the hair at 1:11 to do my hair. Crazy that Insider covered this shop.
this person is amazing! keeping the tradition of his family while bringing happiness to others! amazing! they do such amazing work! my hero!
I believe the gentlemen owner is a man of conviction, with the best old world styled hair salon I got to see after a long time.
when you simply love what you do, it shows! BTW its true, Indian head massage will make you so relaxed that you feel like a new born full of energy.

I like this man, he has a fantastic attitude to life. The way he sees and treats people is admirable. I wish we were friends.
I am Agnostic Atheist but I like tradition & cultural aspect of religion.
I like how he offered prayers to ancestors.
I want this guy as my friend. He seems like an amazing person

How can you read my mind, i just thinking about indian massaged cause i got muscle sore from working out, and suddenly this video pop to my home 🤯
Gratitude is priceless.
"Yellarume yenak veno. Yenak avanka vanth friend". I like this. Good to see you✨️
He looks so friendly and a nice guy God bless him 🙏
Nice human being.
And the interview presentation was absolutely awesome. ✌🏻
No matter what the faith. Every Indian shopkeeper prays to his/her God, before starting the day's buisness.
Happy to hear tamil from this channel
