How to read this site
Three things we do on every page
Each page follows the salon in the order you would see it: the entrance, the reception, the styling chairs and the shampoo area.
Each page shows the salon's name and address in Japanese — e.g. 東京都渋谷区神宮前 — with a copy button and a large view to show a taxi driver.
Hours, payment and designers come from the salon's own pages and designers' pages. If something is not published, we say so instead of guessing.
