An Indian traveller in China recently took a chance on a roadside barber and ended up with a ₹119 haircut, now winning praise online. Though initially sceptical, he shared the experience on social media, and the internet reassured him that the trim looked surprisingly good.
In a video shared on social media, Devang Seth spotted a roadside barber while exploring. Unlike its counterpart in India, the barber didn’t have a setup, not even a mirror. He kept all his equipment inside a bag and only had a chair for the customers.

As the video progresses, the Indian man gets a haircut from the barber. At one point, he even asks, “‘Bhai kya kar diya isne,” expressing his scepticism about the Chinese man's process. After the trim - which turns out well - he pays the man using a service similar to India’s UPI payment system and leaves.
Take a look at the viral video here:
