Barber Russell Frederick shock young boys by shaving out the shape of a pensioner’s receding hairline into their heads.

The shocking hair cut is only temporary - Russell goes to complete the shaving after the initial surprise - but it’s aimed at deterring naughty behaviour from boys trying to ‘act grown up’.

The service is offered free of charge at his barbers A-1 Kutz in Georgia.


Barber Russell says the unique hair styling is a useful alternative to physical punishment.

He told the Washington Post: 'There are a few people that are saying it’s emotional abuse; but on average, everyone is applauding the mother that brought the child in — and applauding me as well.

'Parents are at a loss, when you go to discipline kids these days, they can’t necessarily use physical punishment they way parents did in the past, but they have to do something.

'If you don’t, and your kid ends up doing something crazy, everyone is going to say the problems started at home.’
