“At the astonishing age of 108, Shitsui Hakoishi has been certified as the world’s oldest female barber. Shitsui’s salon is around a three-hour drive from Tokyo, located on the fringe of Tochigi Prefecture surrounded by mountains. In her compact workspace, one will find vintage items such as a pair of scissors that she has been using since the pre-war period”.

Shitsui was officially recognized as the oldest barber in the world by Guinness World Records. She has no plans to retire.
