Globalisation and new money have allowed us a world of experiences which one could only dream of earlier. Nowadays, it isn't difficult for most people to pack a bag and get set to explore the world.
People travel across the globe and enjoy the minute pleasures of life, such as getting a haircut in a different country.Hair salons in various countries offer unique experiences and men all around the world are surely attracted to them. From unique haircuts to massages, salons experiment with a lot of services to keep a constant revolving door of customers. However, is that enough?Recently, a man took to X to share the only difference between a Japanese and Indian salon, which he thought was good PR.
Referencing a video of a man getting a haircut in Japan where he suggested that it is an experience every man should get once in their lifetime, he wrote, "Japan’s PR is unreal just like ‘Peak Bengaluru’. There is absolutely nothing in this clip which my barber from my current hometown wouldn’t be doing for ₹250-300.
"
The video showed a female barber cutting a man's hair which involved a haircut, hair wash, facial, face shaving, and lots of massage on the head, shoulder and back.

The comparison is actually true. If you see videos of Indian salons giving haircuts to men, all of these acts are involved but the only difference is that the entire activity is not sold as one big life-changing experience.People in the comments attested to the man's views writing, "Absolutely agree. The day we nail Aesthetics we rule the world.""My barber Shahrukh bhai does it for Rs 150." quipped another X user.

Many wrote how cleanliness and calmness were a factor that differentiated the salons of the two countries.
The Indian salons market hair cutting as a service which is performed in a short and quick amount of time and you are one of the many customers in line. However, Japanese salons market haircuts as a personal experience where you can rest and enjoy a service catered to you in particular."Feel her stillness and calmness. Our barbers are in a different haste." and "Cleanliness and respect, not an everyday concept or expectation in India any more" wrote people in the comments.
"The word you need to focus upon is “experience” one pointed out.Others added the unique aspects of Indian salons that Japanese salons can't replicate, which is a haircut and massage with classic Indian songs playing in the background."Mere yahan 50 mein kaat deta hai World class hairstyle Massage and Kumar Sanu bangers are added extras" and "But with old melodies, geopolitics and gossip of the town..." shared some.
