Gold Salon

Azabu-Juban – Hair

It’s often said that Tokyo has more hair salons per square mile than any other city on earth. With so many choices, some key points should be considered before entrusting your locks to a new salon or stylist: communication, experience, skill, technique and most importantly—taste. Located one minute from Azabu-Juban station, Gold is a 100 percent foreign owned salon and 98 percent of its clients are foreigners. All of the stylists are able to communicate in English. They have also spent years developing their skills working with a wide variety of hair types both in Japan and abroad. They have techniques for coloring styles that range from natural looking blonde highlights and warmer tones in brunette hair to platinum blonde and traffic stopping red. And when it comes to taste, the Gold team exude a modern sensibility while maintaining a friendly approach with all clients. The latest addition to the team is Aya, an English-speaking nail artist with over 13 years experience.

Roppongi – Hair

Hayato Salon just completed its first anniversary in its new Roppongi location after moving from Omotesando.

Right now the three global Hayato branches are in the three most sophisticated hairstyling cities of the world. Hayato guarantees absolute satisfaction to all customers. Each team member is completely bilingual, and all try their very best to create a relaxing, comfortable, and classy environment. The hairstylists are all experts at handling the varied hair types of foreigners. Hayato himself, the founder, spent more than 12 years developing a training program for his staff. They obtain on-the-job training at Hayato New York for two years, learning to speak English. Only after completing that program are they finally permitted to debut as a hairstylist at Hayato Tokyo.
