Makoto took 30 minutes thinking about what to do with my hair and did an excellent job for me. He really cares and puts in the effort to achieve the result. I’m so grateful for his service. Thank you so much!

I had such a great experience with Shotaro & Makoto yesterday! Both were so incredibly skilled and so lovely towards me. I came in and got both my hair colored and cut. And without a doubt, this is the best haircut & coloring I’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend both of them enough!!
