[TheFullPetey]

[bigchiefmsu]

Son of a bitch, everyone looks so damn dapper

[TheTimothyrhall]

You feel sorry for the girl.She looks like a future lesbian.

[RatchetSouth]

i would have been lynch because i am married to a white woman

[Dudeawesome1000]

I find it just a bit creepy that a balding man I assume is in his fifties is touching women's hair. Maybe it's just me.

[kevinbbarber]

I find it way creepy that you would think about it as creepy

[Dudeawesome1000]

@kevinbbarber I find it creepy that you find it creepy that I find it creepy. Wait, what?

[OKREDHOT]

you can really feel the spirits of the 50s, it was a good time

[jack2452]

@OKREDHOT only if you are white. lol

Who brought up this issue about racism? This is about a 1950's barber shop, not about racism! Sadly, racism did exist during the 50's and still exist today. But this video has nothing to do with racism.

[tmmullenhevey]

I'm lucky enough to have a barber down the street who's shop and approach to the craft hasn't changed much from that depicted in this short of the 1950's (though the shop opened in the 60's). This is one of the few services that is better without modernization. Thanks for uploading.

[boomatte]

who brought up racism? i think rascism is a horrible thing, but why do people like to bring it up? i think its not a good topic to think about because its so unpositive

[Basementbarber]

Great Video This is what made me become a Barber.

[indyjonz]

So yes--all americans are racist to some degree.

[indyjonz]

humans, by nature, hate/fear other races and those who are not like them. That is our genetic link to other lower animals showing itself. What makes you human is the ability to overcome that animalistic instinct by using the wad of fat and neurons between your ears.

[pandax75]

so it's not racist for you to autmatically assume that these guys are racist?

[pandax75]

So you just assume most white people were racist in the US. Please do go "into the evidence" I have a strong feeling you are not American so using your logic I can say your only saying this because all foreigners are anti-American

[pandax75]

So you went to college were they taught how racist America is and now live in another country. It's funny about people like you are quick to point out other people's bias but can't see your own

[pandax75]

Too bad the people in those countries aren't getting the care they deserve. Maybe that's why the come to America too get it. You were taught that everyone white person in America was racist and automatically assume that. Seems college has done it's fine liberal indocrination on yet someone else.

[quiksilverrules14]

Videos like these always make me think how racist these guys probably are and that they would probably not shave a black person or a jew.

[chevyowner02]

How many times have you seen a black guy getting his hair cut by a white guy??

[kevinbbarber]

@chevyowner02 so you are saying that black people are racists because the prefer black barbers?

[chevyowner02]

@kevinbbarber Not saying that at all but you almost always see black people getting there hair cut by black barbers.

[MrHuns]

@chevyowner02 i cut black peoples hair

[LittlePinky82]

My brother and father go to a shop like that one today lol. It's like going back to the 50's.

[scottsabarber]

There is actually more to this video, I have the hard copy of it. When this video ends, the guy looks into the beauty shop to see his wife and daughter still getting "fixed up" the cut to inside the beauty shop, and then cut back out to see the man having a cigerette, then back to the shop, and back out to the man now there are a few cigerette butts on the ground.

[Calebmoyer]

back then and even now. barbers still strive for quality service to their patrons. you just dont find that in beauty shops. i would know, i work in one

[TheIrishApologist]

THANK YOU for posting this!

I'm in Barber School now and THIS is the kind of Barbershop that I am looking to bring back... I specialize in all the classic cuts, shaves, scalp massage, tonics, etc...

[RazorsBarbers]

[rod192231032]

[sas71]

who is the guy doing the narrating??? i swear he is on every old black and white documentary ive seen. he must have been the Dan LaFontaine of his generation.

[seka1986]

"As members of a civilized society we are concerned with our appearance before others."

LOL

[89horizon]

Or this video would have been perfect on "Mystery Science Theater 3000".

[slgordon3]

This video reminds me of those Cold War era films they showed in school to teach you how to crawl under your desk when the nuclear bombs hit.

[sandsledd]

Nice Vid..

[reedys]

Great video, Really enjoyed it.

[macco360]

great video. I would love to see more "america works". I still will only use old fashioned barbers (now typically elderly italian men or newer russian immigrants for me in NYC).
