About an hour by train from Tokyo (Japan), Shibagaki Barber Shop is located in Yokohama, according to Sora News 24. The shop has a modest facade that doesn’t look too different from neighboring hair salons. However, this place is one of the historical sites of hairdressing in the land of the rising sun. It is the oldest barber shop in Japan. Shibagaki Barber Shop was established in 1897. The founder of the hair salon is Eikichi Shibagaki. After 124 years, Shintaro Shibagaki is the 5th generation owner. The 78-year-old has been cutting clients’ hair since 1958. The 2nd generation owner of the hair salon is Kyutaro Shibagaki (who is behind in the photo). At the beginning of its establishment, the address of the hair salon was located in Sumiyoshi-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Japan. After the 1923 Kanto earthquake, the Shibagaki Barber Shop was moved to Hatsunecho. This is where the hair salon business is maintained to this day. This photo of the store in 1906 shows Western influences in the decor, furnishings and staff uniforms. Compared to the heyday, hair salons are not bustling. However, Shibagaki Barber Shop has a list of loyal customers. Most customers come here to let Eikichi Shibagaki decide which hairstyle suits them best. During the haircut, Eikichi Shibagaki will tell the customer about the shop’s history. Besides, Eikichi Shibagaki is always careful when washing customers’ hair. He often instructs guests to bend their heads forward to clean the nape of the neck and use cold water when washing their hair. Many customers are surprised and satisfied with the shaving and massage services at the salon. Eikichi Shibagaki usually softens facial skin by massaging with cream, then steaming with a hot towel. When the steps are completed, he will apply a sufficient amount of foam to shave. To end the service, Eikichi Shibagaki uses a massage machine developed during the Showa period (1926-1989). Dedicated and meticulous service is the plus point that makes Japan’s oldest hair salon a favorite. Old barbers are dwindling in Japan. Therefore, Shibagaki Barber Shop becomes the place to experience the feeling of nostalgia when cutting hair.
