A sprite of a woman with an inviting smile, founder Miwa Ikegami snips locks with the precision of a surgeon, and isn't shy about her love of the craft; she insists on no less from her mostly female staff. The salon sees hairstyling as an exchange of energy, and seeks to make every visit, whether color, cut, or makeover, a holistic experience. Light from floor-to-ceiling windows pools on the red painted wood floor, while patrons recline on cushioned tables to enjoy their shampoos with head massage. The salon boasts an entirely enjoyable atmosphere—one in which Ikegami hopes real people, not just celebrities, will feel welcome.
