A man went to the barber’s for the first time in four years and was given a new look that has left people swooning. We all know the power of a good haircut and how different it can make us look, particularly after a big chop. Cam, a barber from Hawaii, has left people amazed after giving one of his clients a huge transformation.
He explained that the man had been growing his hair for about four years before he decided he wanted to have a new look. The hair stylist shared a video on TikTok displaying his client’s look before and after giving him a haircut. Cam chopped inches off of the man’s long, black hair, leaving him with a modern, shorter hairstyle.
Humorously, he asked his client: “You have a girlfriend?”, to which man replied: “No”, prompting the barber to say: “That’s why you lose your hair man.”
The barber gave him a full haircut as well as a beard trim. At the beginning of the clip, before the haircut, the man can be seen sitting in the chair looking shy. But after losing his long locks, he looks directly at the camera flashing a smile and beaming with happiness.
He also appears more confident and very pleased with Cam’s work as he takes a look at his new haircut. Even Cam looks impressed with how he transformed his client’s hair, nodding as he examines it.
The barber asked the man: “How do you feel bro?” The happy client replied: “[I] feel good.” He added that he likes his new look.
In the caption of his TikTok post, Cam wrote: “Just here to help him find a girlfriend.” He shared that the hairstyle he gave the man is called a classic brush back with mid taper.
Uppercut Deluxe, an Australian men’s grooming brand, has shed some light on this hairstyle on its website. It states: “A Brush Back is a casual take on a slick back or throwback, it’s a perfect style for anyone with naturally curly or wavy hair that is wanting to keep their look casual.
“With the hair brushed backwards away from the forehead, this style makes use of the natural hair movement resulting in [a] tidy yet casual style. The Brush Back is a great option for someone wanting a versatile cut with the ability to dress their style up or down depending on the occasion.”
Cam’s TikTok video has racked up a staggering 16.2 million views, 1.5 million likes and more than 18,000 comments, at the time of writing. One user predicted: “This guy is going to get a girlfriend quick.”
Another added: “Much better! Always loved a clean cut man! Never was a fan of long hair on men.”
A third user agreed: “Men will always look better with short hair. Period.” A fourth commented: “He was handsome before and after but that smile is killa! Whoa.”
A fifth chimed in: “The only word I said was damnnnn.” Others left remarks such as “a great haircut really makes a difference”, “now his handsome face revealed after the haircut he became 10 years younger” and even “I want him.”
