As a guy, you probably have fewer options for keeping your look fresh than women do, unless you are jumping on the male makeup 'trend.' So what can you do? Hit the gym, maybe a tanning salon. Get a new outfit. However, as this talented Japanese barber proves, by far the most effective way of transforming your looks is getting a good haircut.
Shou Otsuki is one of the staff barbers at Tokyo hair salon L. Dorado, and he has made a name for himself with the incredible before-and-after shots of his clients. The videos often begin with a shy, awkward-looking guy with a shapeless, unremarkable hairstyle. Otsuki covers the camera with the comb before pulling it away to reveal... A completely new person. The happiness and confidence that Otsuki's cool new style gives to his clients is there for all to see, and they wouldn't look out of place in a fashion magazine! "I just want to make everyone look cool," Otsuki told Bored Panda. "I suggest a look based on the client's facial shape or just how he seems as a person, I like to try to match the atmosphere."
So forget the plastic surgeon, and step away from that tanning machine, it can be dangerous. If you really want to shake things up and change the way you look, make an appointment with your barber today!

He should have smiled in the "before" photo ... his expression makes the "after" photo.

Does everyone on this photos need to have wet hair? We should see their hair before they got wet/in normal state.

What's the draw for all the "slick straight hair styles" in Japanese men? If you look at the "before" photo of most of these men, their hair is slick and straight.

Oh. Well. That's sad. Also, please notice that Mr Hairdresser is now dipping into the grey dye himself.

Oh God he just aged this guy about 50 years. I know this is "trendy" but on him it just looks old.
