About

Llegué De La Barbería refers to a TikTok trend in which people film their pets as if they are in a barbershop getting a haircut. The trend started in late February 2024 after a viral video of a kid singing in Spanish "llegué de la barbería bonito y bello," which translates as "I came from the barbershop nice and beautiful," was used as the main sound for people on TikTok to share videos of their pets who had just been groomed in a pet shop or simply pretending they are in a barbershop.
