My first day in Kerala, India continued in the capital city, Trivandrum. My hair and beard were starting to get long, so I decided to get another Indian haircut! Come along with me as I have my fourth ultimate Indian haircut experience in Kerala, India!
Day one in God’s Own Country was already shaping up to be an epic intro into what Kerala is all about, and it was about to get even better! I started my afternoon at Mr. Barber to get my fourth Indian haircut. These haircuts are way more than your typical trim and shave. They’re luxurious pampering experiences that include body massages, facial massages, and some of them even crack your neck and release the tension in your hands and arms. I love them so much! There’s no other haircut on the planet like these!
I headed inside the two-seater shop, and the barber closed his shop for us for shooting purposes. It was just the three of us. I wanted a trim up top, a trim on my beard, a skin fade on the sides, and a massage. I wanted the works!
I had a little bit of dry skin on my scalp, and he was going to take care of that. I couldn’t wait to get rid of some of the hair on my head and face. The great thing about Indian haircuts is that they’re so relaxing. I almost fall asleep every time I get one. It takes away all the pressure on your head.
I love getting a skin fade because it looks clean and you don’t have to get another haircut for a few weeks. Mr. Barber was really clean and air-conditioned, so it was nicer than the other barber shops I’d visited in the country. My barber had been cutting hair for 20 years! He blended with the scissors after using the clippers. My guy was meticulous as he cut every stray hair. He was amazing!
Cutting hair is an artform in India. They take a lot of pride in it. And the people in Kerala were really nice!
Next, my barber blow dried my hair and then he added some gel to my beard and neck. It felt great. If I were getting a full shave, he would have used foam, but since I was only getting a trim, he used gel. He used the scissors at first, and then trimmed it to about half an inch with the clippers. Then, he slapped on some alcohol and cleaned it up a bit and then I went for a wash!
The guy added some water and shampoo. It was really incredible and relaxing. It was so soft and gentle. He was like a magician! Then, he dried me off and I got another blow-dry. Then, he added a type of oil serum and started massaging my scalp. It was so relaxing and relieved so much tension. It was orgasmic and lasted at least five minutes!
Then, he tapped around my head with the sides of my palms and got the base of my head and ears. It was the best! I needed to come back to this guy! Then, he cracked my neck and pounded the back of my neck.

What happened there?
Dude, orgasm.
The ultimate Indian hair cutting.
I mean, you don't know what he's doing, but that is awesome.
Good afternoon everyone, this is David Hoffman from David's been here in beautiful God's own country.
I'm here in the capital of Srivandrum and right now I'm going to get an Indian haircut.
I've got an Indian haircut almost every single time I've been here and I love it.
I mean, it's really incredible. It's an experience.
It's not just cutting hair and shaving your beard.
They also give you massages, they crack your neck, they give you a facial massage.
You can do whatever you want here.
These guys are really amazing.
I think for me, the best part is the massage.
I really need a haircut.
I came here, I landed last night, but I came here with a huge beard.
My hair's all crazy.
I haven't got a haircut in three weeks.
So we're coming here to Mr. Barber.
I love it.
I love the name though.
It's really cool.
All right, so let's go inside.
Let's get the ultimate Indian haircut.
4.0.
Let's go.
To Senor shop.
So he closed it for us?
Yeah.
So for shooting purposes, he closed it for us.
So no one's coming in here.
Just us two.
Us three, actually.
All right, my man.
Let's do this.
Haircut, massage, trim, everything.
All right, guys.
So I told them what I wanted.
I want to trim a little bit.
Trim a little bit of the beard and give me like a super, super nice fade.
I want skin and use the blade as well.
I think he's going to wash my head as well.
I think so.
We'll see.
This guy's legit though.
This guy's awesome.
He actually, he was talking to the other guy about his dandruff and they gave him something.
I have a little bit of dandruff.
My skin is just dry, you know.
It's so dry.
Super long beard.
Let's get rid of this.
Oh, I can't wait.
This guy's going to be awesome.
For me, the best part about getting a haircut is that it's so relaxing.
I just like fall asleep here.
No, for real.
Like I usually like almost fall asleep every time I get a haircut.
Right there.
All the pressure on your head just goes away, you know.
So being like skin, skin, skin.
I like it skin because then, you know, you don't have to get a haircut so often.
You just, you know, get that.
You look super clean.
And it takes a while to grow, you know.
It takes like two weeks to grow.
This right now is like three weeks.
Nice.
That's the Indian way of doing things.
Yeah, right.
If you cut it too short, we don't need to worry for another month.
For another month.
Yeah.
Economical.
And this is actually one of the best like barbershops I've been in terms of like cleanliness.
You know, there's air conditioning.
It's very nice.
And super down.
I think I'm going to pay a little more than I pay in other places.
But I'm fine with it.
He closed the shop just for us.
I know.
This guy is awesome.
Unbelievable.
And you're from here?
Yeah, we're two kilometers.
Two kilometers.
Awesome.
How long you've been doing haircuts?
Long time?
Long time.
20 years.
That's why you're so good.
I like this.
He's blending it with the scissors now.
So he went with the machine slash like moving it up and away.
And then now he's blending it really nicely with scissors.
Yes.
When you go blend with the scissors, then you know the barber is really good.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I know I'm bald.
And I'm using a lot of things to try to get better.
I'm actually working with a company called iRestore right now.
They use laser therapy to like fix it.
By the way, you guys have to try it.
If you're losing your hair.
I've been trying it.
I mean, I've been using it only three months.
They say it takes many months to start seeing results.
So, we'll see.
You guys look ridiculous.
Yeah.
After every tiny hair the AC is coming out.
Bro, look at the camera and smile.
No, it really is in India like an art form.
People really like, they're very, you know, prideful.
Whatever job they're doing, they're talented in that and they're prideful.
They know what they're doing.
I mean, 20 years, they've had this particular shop for three years, right?
It's great.
So, now you guys know when you come to Thiruvananda.
Thiruvandram.
Thiruvanandapuram.
No.
Thiruvanandapuram.
No.
Thiruvananda.
I will give you a clue.
Thiru.
Ananda.
Puram.
Join it.
Thiruvananthapuram. Thiruvananthapuram? No.
It's too hard. It's too long. But what's the shorter version?
It's the name English gave us. They couldn't read it. They were like, what is this?
What is this? Thiruvananthapuram. Oh man. I like it. I like how people are down here.
People are really, really, really nice. Wow. Circuit's sick.
Oh, so he's going to shave everything? Gel instead of water. Gel instead of water.
Wow. It feels great. So he's putting gel everywhere he's going to shave. He's going
to shave my neck. He's going to shave above. If I was shaving my entire beard, he would put foam
the whole thing. But because I'm not, he's just putting gel up here, down here, and the back as
Awesome. Beard looks proper thick now.
Almost black. Looks almost black. If only I could put the hair from my beard in my head.
Looks good, right? So we're trimming it.
Probably just a little bit. Half an inch, no? Right now my beard makes me look really fat.
No, I'm serious. I mean, it just adds like roundness to your face, you know?
Yeah. This is like a real trim. That was like too long.
I still have a beard, but it's not shaving, you know? Yeah. It's a good like blend with the
shape of like the skin here. Yeah. Oh, right there. That looks good. Cool. Yeah. So once he's
done cutting my hair, he just doesn't tighten it up with, you know, shaving the back and cleaning
all the excess hair, you know? So it just goes through, just going, goes around everything.
This is not skin. This is feelings.
All right, so the haircut's not over. I'm getting a wash now. Oh, oh. This is another really relaxing
thing you can do when you get a haircut. Get a wash. You can do it either before or after.
This guy's just like the best. He's a magician.
He should put the name board changed to Baba from. Yeah, he's a magician. He's like Dr. Strange.
Yeah, Dr. Strange. He's opening a portal into a different dimension. The way he uses his hands,
it's like, it's really, it's really incredible. You know what he's doing? Yeah. It's so like
soft and gentle at the same time, like takes off all the pressure of the head.
So after this, I feel like a million bucks. Yes.
David's bath is over.
Guys, I'm asleep.
He like gets rid of all the wet hair. I look pretty good. Some sort of serum. Yeah, it's like,
it's almost like an oil.
Okay. Oh my God. Whoa.
So relaxing. Don't they have this type of haircut in America? No. Not like this.
No, why? No. But they won't give you a massage. I mean, that's,
it's extra. If they do it, you know, most guys don't do it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got one. Oh my God. Like here right now is like, oh man,
this is insane. Oh. I mean, you have to experience it. Dude, it's getting into every single piece of
my skull, my neck, the whole area in the back. What happened there? Dude, orgasm.
Right there, like between my neck and my head. Oh, right there. Oh, oh dude, give me more.
How long is this massage? It's like a five minute massage. This is great.
The ultimate Indian haircut thing. I mean, you don't know what he's doing, but that is awesome.
Oh my God. It's insane. Oh yeah. Oh. You should see your expressions. I didn't care about the
haircut. I'm going to come here and just get massages every day. And we came to the right
place. Yeah. I don't know that sound, that feel. What is he doing? I don't know. It's like
that noise. It's noise slash air hitting you at the same time. Some vacuum pressure sort of thing.
This is like the best, the ultimate Indian haircut 4.0. Wow. I'm going to come back to this guy.
He's like right there.
No. All right. Don't, don't scare me.
You see what's happening there?
Whoa.
God's own country.
Thank you.
Perfect. Well guys, I hope you enjoyed this video.
Whoa. I enjoyed it so much. This is like, the haircut was good, but the massage, and that was
like a four or five minute massage. It was endless. This is something you have to do when you come
to India. Anywhere you go in India, go look for a barber shop. But when you come here, come to this
guy. This guy's the best. Hey, thank you so much. Thank you. Give me a big hug. Big hug. Well guys,
