Shocking new video shows customers and workers at a Staten Island hair salon frantically ducking for cover after a gunman opened fire into the business on Wednesday afternoon — wounding two victims.

A gunman clad in all black can be seen in the surveillance footage pointing his gun into the Bousso African Hair Salon at 63 Victory Blvd. before firing off several rounds through the store’s front window.

One of his bullets grazed a 17-year-old girl’s head and another shot struck a 35-year-old woman in the buttocks, police said.

At least three women were getting their hair done when the gunfire rang out, the video shows.

The customers and their hair stylists either ducked to the ground or fled toward the back of the building after the bullets started flying.

With the suspect still shooting, another person he was with can be seen running away from the salon.

Moments later, the gunman follows, darting down the sidewalk while still holding the firearm in his right hand.

The gunman remained at large as of late Thursday.
