Miami Man Pulls Gun on Barber After Accusing Him of “Pushing Back His Hairline” During Haircut Dispute
MIAMI, FLORIDA — What began as a routine haircut at a Miami barbershop quickly escalated into a dangerous confrontation when a customer allegedly pulled a gun on his barber, accusing him of “pushing his hairline back” during a trim.
The incident took place at Square Biz Barbershop on November 25, 2025, and was captured on surveillance video that has since circulated widely online.
According to reports shared by The North Carolina Beat, the customer returned to the barbershop shortly after his haircut, visibly upset about the results. Witnesses say he confronted the barber, accusing him of altering his hairline too far back — a claim that sparked a heated argument between the two men.
Confrontation Escalates Inside the Barbershop
Security footage from inside the shop shows the customer reentering and confronting the barber before producing a firearm from his clothing. Chaos quickly ensued as other patrons in the shop scrambled for cover and the barber reportedly attempted to de-escalate the situation.
While no shots were fired and no one was injured, police say the altercation could have easily turned tragic.
“This kind of dispute over a haircut should never escalate to violence,” an officer familiar with the case said. “We’re fortunate this situation ended without anyone being hurt.”
Police Investigation Underway
Authorities confirmed they are investigating the incident, which took place in broad daylight. Surveillance video has been handed over to Miami Police, who are working to identify and locate the customer involved in the confrontation.
The shop’s employees told officers that the man was a regular client who appeared calm earlier in the day but returned angry after checking his haircut in a mirror.
“He came back yelling about his lineup being pushed back,” one witness said. “The barber tried to calm him down, but he pulled a gun out instead.”
Police have not yet released the suspect’s name, but investigators are reviewing nearby surveillance and witness statements to determine whether charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, will be filed.
Community Reacts to Viral Video
The footage of the incident has spread quickly on social media, sparking a wave of commentary and disbelief. Many online users have expressed concern over the escalation of violence in minor disputes, especially in local businesses.
“Barbers risk their lives just doing their jobs these days,” one commenter wrote. “It’s insane that something this small can lead to someone pulling a gun.”
Others noted the growing trend of barbershop confrontations going viral, underscoring tensions over personal appearance and social media culture.
No Injuries Reported, Shop Reopens
Square Biz Barbershop briefly closed following the incident but has since reopened under increased security awareness. Staff members say they’re shaken but relieved the situation didn’t turn deadly.
Police are urging anyone with information about the suspect to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.
