Why people come to us

Why people stop salon-hopping once they get here.

The fix for all three is time and a door. Questions get asked before scissors move, the booth is semi-private, and customers write about being shown how to style it themselves. That is why so many of these reviews use the words 'been going for a while'.

What a visit looks like

What makes it feel different.

01

It is a Japanese salon, run as one

Their own description is a boutique salon in Katong offering a retreat from the city, with hairstylists, colourists and beauty therapists on the same floor.

02

You get a booth, not a row

Styling happens in semi-private booths. Their Japanese page compares it to first class on a plane, which is a fair description of the layout.

03

Kimie takes the time

Almost every review names her. The recurring words are patient, professional and attentive, and more than one customer mentions being asked questions before anything started.

04

You leave knowing how to style it

Customers write about being taught how to keep the look at home rather than only seeing it done once in the chair.

Questions

Before you book.

Who will cut my hair?

Kimie is the stylist customers name in almost every review, for cuts, colour and treatments alike.

Do you speak Japanese?

Yes. The studio describes itself in Japanese as well as English, and Japanese-speaking customers have reviewed it in their own language.

What does a cut cost?

Director ladies cut is $95 and director men's cut is $75, both an hour. Root touch-up starts at $120.

What is yomogi steam?

A mugwort steam treatment, offered here for women only. It is booked like any other appointment.

Is it just hair?

No. Facials using doctor-class devices, dry head spa and scalp treatments are all on the same floor as the styling booths.

When are you open?

Tuesday to Friday 10am to 8pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am to 7pm. Closed Mondays.

Book the booth, not just the cut.

Say what you want done and roughly how long your hair is, and you will get a proper quote before you come rather than a surprise at the counter.
