Deep inside the city of Dimona we met the men who obtained the Guiness Record for cutting hair with ten scissors simultaneously. Dany Bargil surprises everyone by performing a moderately known art, but in a cool and extraordinary manner.
Between Turkish coffee, noises of scissors and hair dryers, Dany tells us about the eventful journeys he had with his parents and his thirteen brothers when they emigrated from Marroco to Dimona, “we used to live in a tent in the middle of the desert” – narrates to us with a proud smile.
With bright in his eyes, he points out a picture where he and Marco – his older brother and mentor – appear styling hair. Dany started working as a hairdresser at the age of 9, when used to go to his brother’s barbershop every afternoon after school. Years after, wile serving in the army, he continued being admired while cutting hair and mastering the scissors at the same time.
In 1997, at his own barbershop ‘Figaro’ he obtained his first Guinness record cutting hair with 7 scissors simultaneously. Few weeks ago, vehemently, he imposed a new Record doing the same exercise, but with 10 scissors this time.
Dany also holds a technical degree in electronics and electricity, but as he says, “the scissors become to him better than the soldering”.
