Boy Tokyo, the newest addition to legendary hair stylist Masayuki Mogi’s boy Inc family, is a haven of style nestled in the quiet backstreets of Harajuku. With floor-to-ceiling windows, a rooftop garden, and a spacious interior, the salon offers a harmonious blend of light, sound, and space.
This isn’t your average haircutting experience; boy Tokyo is renowned for its “Hazushi” technique, a signature hair cutting method that allows stylists to personalize your look to reflect your unique personality. The salon session includes a sparkling carbonated water cleansing shampoo and a Wild Yuzu head spa, creating a uniquely Japanese experience that will leave you feeling pampered and refreshed.
Conquering Salon Fears with boy Tokyo
For many, a trip to the salon can be a daunting experience, especially when you’re seeking a new look. Claire, a model with a history of unfortunate salon encounters, was apprehensive about her first visit to boy Tokyo. But she was soon put at ease by top stylist Yusuke Yoshihiro, a US-raised, Germany-born hair wizard with an edgy creativity and a keen cultural sensitivity.
Yoshihiro understood Claire’s desire for a short, effortless hairstyle that would work with her oily-on-top, dry-at-the-tips hair type. After a thorough consultation and a detailed sketch of the proposed style, Claire decided to go for a medium-length bob with a sparkling scalp cleansing shampoo and a pampering head spa and foot massage.
The Art of the “Hazushi” Cut
With Claire’s hair sparkling clean and blow-dried, Yoshihiro began the haircut using the “Hazushi” freehand technique. The “Hazushi” technique is all about movement and flow, and Yoshihiro, a firm believer in dry cuts, deftly utilized it to create a hairstyle that would embrace Claire’s natural hair texture and movement. A few sharp snips later, Claire was the proud owner of trendy, doll-like bangs.
Yoshihiro then added texture to the bangs for a face-framing effect and layered the inner hairs to create a rounded, voluminous look with more movement. This meticulous attention to detail is what sets boy Tokyo apart from other salons.
Beyond the Haircut: Pampering & Revitalization
With the haircut complete, Claire was ready for the ultimate pampering experience. She reclined in a luxurious spa chair for a revitalizing head spa and leg massage by stylist and masseuse Abe Arisa. Arisa used a heating pad infused with shell ginger seeds and leaves to soothe Claire’s calves while she gently massaged her scalp with Argan oil and Wild Yuzu lotion. The antioxidant-rich Argan oil stimulates cell production, while the Wild Yuzu strengthens capillaries and improves blood circulation.
Arisa then moved to Claire’s legs, working her way from below the knee to the ankles, and then moving to massage the calves. This soothing pressure point massage was followed by an invigorating scalp-cleansing shampoo, prepping Claire’s hair for drying and styling.
A Hair Transformation with a Touch of Magic
It was all fun and laughter as Yoshihiro, a true master of his craft, worked his styling magic on Claire’s hair with a flat iron and a touch of 100% Carthame oil. As Claire stood up from the salon chair with shapely curls and soft above-brow bangs, she was ecstatic about her chic, new, slightly disheveled medium bob and the feeling of lighter, bouncier hair!
