Ms. Yamakage, 41 years old, likes natural and comfortable style.

Since she has a sensitive skin, she chooses natural and good quality clothes. She does not wear heavy makeup, but just put up foundation. For her hair, she keeps it natural without using any styling product.

To keep her hair style natural but looking cool, Mr. Watanabe, her hair dresser for the past 15 years, and his hair salon are important factors.

Ms. Yamakage enjoy the relaxing atmosphere at his hair salon as well as Mr. Watanabe’s proven techniques for hair styling.

“For Ms. Yamakage, creating hair style which goes well with her character as well as easy hair styling are the keys.” Mr. Watanabe said.

The base style for Ms. Yamakage is graduated bob, slightly longer on the front. To make the bob style lighter, Mr. Watanabe applied stacked layers. Top of the hair is body permed with using 6 rods which gives a natural movement, then cut inside hair sharp to make it balanced.

He uses a particular perm product which he does fast not to affect damaged hair.

A cool hair style with easy styling – which is what the majority of women are looking for.

If we can find a hairdresser who can make it happen, we can have happy and relaxing daily life like M. Yamakage.
