Katana-Wielding Hairdresser Gets Cutting-Edge With Samurai Sword [Video]

While Vietnamese hairdresser Nguyen Hoang Hung might not be trained as a samurai, he sure can wield the sword quite craftily. Hung works with a katana sword to cut hair in his salon with a surgeon’s precision — leaving beautifully constructed haircuts on his victims’… er… clients’ heads.

Katana swords aren’t the only weapons that Nguyen uses for good. A few years ago, he competed in a competition where he had to use a handsaw to deliver a great women’s cut, though he didn’t learn the technique overnight. According to Distractify, he was able to hone his practice using wigs before moving on to human heads. He now does as short as pixies cuts using only a Wakizashi — a razor-sharp samurai sword typically used for fighting in close quarters.

Would you sit down to get a haircut from a man who was using a samurai sword to chop your locks?
