Watanabe Hair Dressing

Harajuku – Hair

You could describe Aki Watanabe’s rise in the hairstyling industry as “meteoric.” After training at the academies of Vidal Sassoon and Toni & Guy, he studied at the prestigious London Hair Academy. From there he landed a spot at the world-famous Windle Salon in London’s Covent Garden where he worked alongside such styling giants as Paul Windle, Eugene Soulieman and Johnnie Spong. Watanabe has the distinction of introducing shiatsu (“finger presure”) massage as part of the service at Windle. His work was noticed by fashion magazines and brands and he then found himself doing the styling for editorial layouts in The Face, i-D and Sky magazines as well as for catwalk clients such as Red or Dead. Currently, Watanabe runs Watanabe Hair Dressing in Harajuku where he acts as stylist  for clients as diverse as Beat Takeshi, Yohji Yamamoto collections and Nike. This year, the salon is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary.
