Richmond (Virginia) - Hair influencer Thai Nguyen (25) is very active again this week. He has landed several viral hits on TikTok. Among them is this curious work in which the hairdresser not only cuts a customer's hair and beard. He also makes him look much younger. Previously, the hair expert from Richmond, Virginia, had been blindsided.

The video starts with a humorous conversation. The cheerful customer loosens his hair tie and shows off his full, long hair with a broad grin.

He hasn't had it cut for ten years, the American admits. However, this amazes Nguyen far less than his age.

"I'm 23," explains the guest, while his hairdresser's mind wanders. But then it clicks for the TikToker: "You're 23?" he exclaims in complete disbelief.

His customer doesn't mind. He just grins even wider and says: "Yes, sir!" But then he admits that he's really fed up with his current appearance.

Now Nguyen has to deliver!

First he cuts off the braid of the single man who is hoping to find a girlfriend with his new look. Then he gets to work on the rest of the wild "mane".

The result is a casual short haircut. The full beard, which is too long, is also shortened and adapted to the new hairstyle. What remains is the radiant smile that the customer already had before the makeover.

When he looks at himself in the mirror for the first time, the surprise is huge: "Oh, that's crazy. You've really done your thing," says the 23-year-old happily. He also vows to make his next appointment with Nguyen.

He asks his satisfied customer for a final statement. He advises the TikTok audience to be courageous and determined.

Will this advice be heeded? At least there are more than 1.8 million clicks, so there are plenty of people who could take it to heart.
