Japanese hair stylists are known for their meticulous and precise haircuts. A Japanese salon is an excellent choice if you want a haircut with intricate detailing and accuracy.
Japanese stylists are skilled at working with a wide range of hair textures, including fine, straight, and silky hair. A Japanese salon is a great option if you have a specific hair texture that requires skilful handling.
Japanese hair salons are known for their innovative hair colouring techniques. A Japanese salon can provide outstanding results if you are interested in unique hair colouring methods such as balayage, ombre, or vivid and pastel shades.
Visiting a Japanese hair salon can help you achieve a contemporary and fashionable look if you want to stay on top of the latest Japanese hair trends, including popular hairstyles and hair colours.
Japanese hair salons understand Asian hair care requirements. A Japanese salon is a great fit if you have Asian hair and are looking for specialists who understand the unique challenges and styles that suit Asian hair.
Having been established since 1998 and boasting five outlets islandwide (and one in Myanmar), it’s safe to say that Shunji Matsuo is a household name in Singapore by now.
One of the best Japanese salons around, the salon chain prides itself on its unique cutting technique which is founded by Matsuo himself and Kazuhide Inoue, the director of renowned salon chain Fiber Zone and hair academy Zone and Section Academy in Japan.
The niche method is said to create a structured style that perfectly complements the hair fiber as well as the skeletal structure of a customer’s face.
All Shunji Matsuo stylists also receive regular training from top stylists based in Tokyo and Osaka to keep up to date on Japanese hair trends and styles. Hence, you can rest assured that you’ll walk out with tresses that not only frame your face shape perfectly but are also trendy, easy to manage and affordable as well.
Customers who have patronised any of the Shunji Matsuo outlets will tell you that they’re satisfied with the fuss-free hairstyles that the stylists can create for you based on your lifestyle, needs and wants.
It’s also not surprising to see the technicians and hairstylists treating their customers with the utmost care and attention, as they believe in developing a lasting and understanding relationship with each and every one of their customers.
Always putting their clients as top priority, it’s no wonder Shunji Matsuo was recently awarded the Best Salon for Japanese Cut (Editor’s Choice & Readers’ Favourite) at the Daily Vanity Spa & Hair Awards 2020.
