But the professional and skilful coiffeur did not let football rivalry between both nations get in the way and instead he offered his services to the Argentines free of charge.
He said he preferred not to be paid at all, explaining that "it was all in good will. In this case, money has no value at all", adding that the high-profile haircuts will help promote his Instagram account.
