He may be in America, but this barber certainly embodies the British war motto of 'keep calm and carry on'.
Han Song was cutting hair as usual in his barber shop in Anchorage, Alaska last week when a driver lost control of their SUV and crashed through the front window of the shop.
Had he been just a few feet over, Han Song very easily could have lost his life. CCTV footage of the crash shows debris flying everywhere as the car destroys the front of the shop.
Moment before collision: An SUV can be seen racing straight towards the doors of a barbershop in Anchorage, Alaska in this CCTV footage
Impact: The SUV crashes through the doors into the shop
Confusion: Barber Han Song, centre in a white coat, walks over to the car to see if the driver is ok
No biggie: As another customer speaks with the driver of the SUV, Han Song returns to his customer and calmly goes back to clipping away
Most men would have been severely shaken by such an incident. But Han Song clearly is not most men.
After quickly checking to ensure the driver of the car was alright, the barber calmly returned to his customer - and resumed his task of giving him a short back and sides.
His customer was presumably too shocked to move.
Insurance is set to pay for all the damage and no one was injured in the incident.
The accident appears to have been caused when the driver's foot slipped from the brake to the accelerator.
