Xiangtan hairdresser dons Ultraman costume for kids' cuts

A hairdresser in Xiangtan, Hunan province, has been dressing as the popular character Ultraman while giving children haircuts.

The hairdresser, surnamed Tang, said many children asked him to cut Ultraman designs into their hair, so he bought an Ultraman costume last year and started to wear it while working.

The 32-year-old has been a hairdresser for eight years and specializes in giving haircuts to children below 14.

According to Tang, the children are very cooperative when he wears the outfit.

He placed a screen in front of his barber chair so the children could watch cartoons while getting haircuts.

Tang has designed many unique cuts by trimming cartoon characters such as Ultraman and Sun Wukong into the hair.
