Kwentong Barebero | Ang Gupit na Binalikan
🎭 Romantic Comedy / Second Chances

When an old flame walks into the barbershop, ten years of silence unravel in a single haircut.

Ben, a quiet barber known for his steady hands and closed heart, is caught off guard when Celine—his first love and deepest heartbreak—returns for a trim that cuts deeper than hair. What starts as a casual visit becomes a delicate dance of memories, regrets, and unspoken truths.

Set entirely within the comforting chaos of a small-town barbershop, this episode explores how the past lingers in places we least expect—and how, sometimes, the right cut can reopen the door to healing. Funny, tender, and beautifully nostalgic, “Ang Gupit na Binalikan” is a story of love lost and possibly, love reborn.

In a beloved Cubao barbershop steeped in tradition, a young apprentice named Vince begins his first day eager to prove himself. But one barber’s chair — Chair Number 3 — remains untouched, whispered to be haunted by the spirit of the shop founder, Tito Carding, who died mid-haircut decades ago. As Vince learns about the chair’s eerie past, he experiences a supernatural encounter: an elderly, silent customer who vanishes without a trace after receiving a haircut. The elders confirm it was Tito Carding himself, testing Vince's dedication to the craft. Passing this mysterious rite of passage, Vince earns the respect of his mentors and the unseen master. Chair Number 3, once feared, becomes the most sought-after seat, now a symbol of legacy, mentorship, and the sacred duty of service that lives on — even beyond death.
