“My hair style looks perfect with a little effort. I only dry my hair after washing at night, and do quick styling in the morning. This is why I believe in his cutting techniques.” Ms. Mori said.

The base is a graduated short style, keeping hair fairly long along her face line. She can play with her hair and enjoy different style with hair along her face.” Mr. Okamura said.

By cutting the back of her hair to lift up the volume, her backside hair looks elegant.  Mr. Okamura recommends to women in her age to have volume on the back in order to look youthful and gorgeous.

Since Ms. Mori keeps her hair short, Mr. Okamura likes to propose a slight change in  styles, such as cutting hair along the neck very short to look like bob style, or keep  hair along the neck long to look like layered short style.

Mr. Okamura also applies different colors depending on seasons. For example, he uses ash colors in Spring and Summer to look casual and active, for Autumn and Winter he uses beige brown for base color.  Ms. Mori has about 40% of gray hair, so he applies gray color only once.

Ms. Mori is an active woman, going to lunch with her friends, going to gym, riding horse on weekdays, enjoying music and opera concerts on weekends.

Her hair style which goes well with both casual and classy fashions fits her lifestyles.
