This Pakistani barber has never heard of Edward Scissorhands, but his amazing skills of using 27 pairs of scissors simultaneously to give trendy haircuts makes him one in real life.
Muhammad Awais, 26, from the Rahwali Cantonment area in Gujranwala in Pakistan’s Punjab province, runs a salon called ‘Cutting Edge’. Though he opened the salon only six months ago, his unusual hairdressing technique, he has become a sensation in the town.
The saloon is always full of customers who patiently wait for their turns to experience Awais’s extraordinary haircut technique. He takes 30 minutes to complete each haircut and charges around £3 for his services.
“It gives me a proud feeling that I’m able to do something different from others. Initially, there were not too many people visiting my salon but in the past couple of months, the number of customers has increased. A lot of people are excited to experience my unique haircut technique,” Awais says.
Awais has been in this profession for 10 years now. He holds a diploma in ‘Cut Hair’, a certified technical course he received after years of training in Iran. And he practiced in Italy before moving to his hometown to open his own salon.
Awais boasted, “I am very passionate about my work. I struggled very hard for many years to master my skills. I started using multiple scissors for haircut five years ago. First I used seven pairs of scissors, then 12 and presently I use 27 pairs of scissors for cutting hair.”
