About Haircut Harry
Haircut Harry is a well established barber channel producing some great ASMR content heavy on haircuts, shaves and massages from barbers all around the world.
He is filmed by the ‘mystery woman’ who we never get to see in full. Is she his wife?
And he is known for letting the barbers do what they want and for slick editing techniques that create Easter Egg illusions in mirrors..
ASMR Tingle Rating
Haircut Harry was the first ASRtist I reviewed and wrote about. So I didn’t give him 5 stars as I wasn’t sure where he would fit in overall.
But he is 5 stars and I have now upgraded him! I am sure he is very happy!

Key Benefits for you from Haircut Harry
For me the main benefit of watching any of Harry’s content is how it enables me to switch off and really relax. Hopefully this will work for you as well.
I don’t always fall asleep to his videos, often I just sort of doze away and then come to at a favourite bit.
My body seems to know it needs ASMR triggers!
What we really like about Haircut Harry
Harry always has the best locations for his videos dotted all over the world.
It’s great to see so many different styles of barber shops and the techniques used by each of the barbers.
He also produces very high quality videos, visually and aurally, and has a regular output of videos about every week or so.
Harry really understands how ASMR works and what people are looking for as well as creating such engaging content.
Quirks and features of Haircut Harry
Watch out for the slick editing in the mirrors, very cool!
And why does he always indent his YouTube titles?
We have written a post on Weird things in Haircut Harrys videos.
My favourite video from Haircut Harry
We love this video from Haircut Harry And as you know he has a lot of great ones!
What we really enjoy is how calm and precise this haircut and wet shave is. And it has a super relaxing head massage.
I have noticed in a number of Japanese videos how precise and particular they are with their work. It’s really inspiring to see and watch. Love the attention to detail.
And watch out for a surprising guest appearance at 38:38!
What to watch on Haircut Harry
Here are a things to watch out for on Harry’s channel:
Women Barbers – there are so many great women barbers out there and Harry features a lot of them. Definitely some of my favourite content. Playlist here.
Unintentional ASMR – although Harry knows what he is doing with ASMR many of his videos could easily be classed as unintentional ASMR.
Playlist here.
Wet shaves – good to mix up the haircuts with a few shaves as Harry does. I suspect because his beard grows back more quickly than his hair!
Playlist here.
What we would like to see from Harry next?
Harry has done occasional collaborations but it would be nice to see him do some more.
*Update* 1 November 2023
Harry has done an amazing collab with Dora from Barber 88, (real name is Yoshio Fujibayashi) here who we first saw on Japan ASMR channel.
I also really like the French barbers so maybe a few more of those would be good!
