- Hey, hey! This is Conor, the Language Tsar so
today I'm in Brussels for a very special
reason. I'm here to get my haircut.
- Hello! Everything going well? [in French] All good? - All good! And yourself? [in Italian]
- How are you? - Very good! Thank you, Nicolà [in French]
Yeah! I know that sounds pretty wacky to most people. Why would I come to
Brussels for a haircut? Are Belgian
hairdressers that much better than
everywhere else in the world? And the
answer is probably no! They're probably no
better, no worse than you're going to
find in other countries but that's not why
I chose Brussels to get my haircut.
I'm what we call a "digital nomad", "laptop
entrepreneur", "location independent" all
those words. Simply there's only one guy
that I let touch my hair in the
world. It's one of my little idiosyncrasies.
Introduce yourself! - My name is Nicolà Amato.
So in today's video, I want to talk about why I would come back
to the same location to get my haircut
when simply you can get a haircut all
over the world. Does it really matter
that much? Is there that big a difference?There
behind me you should be able to see the
Palais de Justice ("Court House") here in Brussels
I so started on YouTube maybe about three years ago a little over three
years ago and since you've been watching
my channel here Language Tsar I've
actually had my hair cut and by the same
hairdresser almost entirely that time.
It's just one or two videos I think in
the beginning the very start 3 and a half
years ago where I had another
hairdresser. Why would someone through all this effort
just to get a haircut? Well every time I
have my hair cut cut somewhere else,
I didn't feel like it was not good. I
really felt like there was a big
difference in the standard of the
service I was getting and I wasn't able to
replicate that when I show people photos
of what I liked so in the end I just kind
of scheduled myself to be here in
Brussels once every six weeks we'll say
on average sometimes it's two months I
really hold off just so I can get my haircut here.
So not everyone agrees with my policy. A lot
of other digital nomads just think it's mental.
Why not just get your hair cut
somewhere else? And they have a different
approach to this and yeah they are entitled
to their opinion of course and their own
preferences. I just don't agree and an
example of that was maybe about a month
back. My friend you would have seen him
here in a lot of videos, Jan. He got his
hair cut for three dollars. Yeah, that's right!
Just three dollars when you he was in Cabo
Verde and to be honest it looked
like a haircut that cost three dollars. He
looked like Tintin. So it just
depends, right? And I told him maybe take
a photo next time, maybe that will help
but I think yeah you're just going to
have to sacrifice on quality and yeah it's a
personal preference, you know, a personal
choice whether you want to do that
because the service is not actually
going to be the same. It's pretty hard to
replicate exactly the same thing as it turns out
So voila! What you think of my haircut? Do you
think it was worth traveling thousands
of kilometers as opposed to getting a local
probably for a cheaper price to have it done
in Kiev in Ukraine. Let me know in
the comments below down there if you
have some interesting quirks or some
things that you do that all your friends
think are really strange, make no sense just
because you really appreciate the
service you get. Write all that good
stuff down in the comments below and of
course subscribe to this channel in general so
"au revoir !" from Bruxelles in Belgium!
