Hairdresser freaks out when customer reveals his age: then he provides the right balance

Richmond (Virginia) - Not only is he busy cutting hair, he's also a real TikTok hit producer. When Thai Nguyen (25) from Richmond swings the scissors, he is (almost) guaranteed a viral hit. This is also the case with this video, which has already collected hundreds of thousands of clicks since the beginning of the week. One reason for this is certainly the witty dialog between service provider and guest - because Nguyen once again doesn't mince his words.

"You're 22?", he blurts out right at the beginning of the funny video. But Nguyen, who can't believe his ears and eyes, hasn't even listened properly. So his customer clarifies: "I'm 22, I'm still 21".

The hairstylist takes a moment to close his wide-open mouth again. Then he tries to smooth things over: "Bro, I thought you were a grown man."

"That's always the case," admits the 21-year-old, who could also be in his mid-30s, sheepishly. Nguyen then promises the poor guy that he will make him look his age again.

The guest, who has been wearing his hair a little long since the eighth grade, is happy to hear that. But now he has a completely different look in mind.

Viral TikTok video puts everyone in a good mood

The reason for this is the upcoming Valentine's Day . According to the US-American, his girlfriend asked him to get a new haircut for the occasion.

He even took a five-and-a-half-hour drive from New Jersey for the occasion. Nguyen acknowledges this statement with his mouth wide open again.

But now the hairdresser is under pressure: he has to keep his promise and iron out his cheeky remarks. But of course that's no problem for the 25-year-old.

Snip, snip, cut: suddenly the customer has a neatly trimmed full beard and a modern mullet.

One thing is immediately noticeable: He really does look much younger. In the end, all sides are satisfied, including the TikTok audience, who confirm the successful "rejuvenation treatment" in the comments column.
