“Since she changed to short hair, she looks much younger!”

Proudly introuduced by her son, Mrs. Nakada, 49 years old, looks young and active.

Mrs. Nakada has 3 children of 25, 23 and 20 years old. The hair stylist is Mr. Yoshida, who owns a hair salon called EGO sette in Ginza which is popular among 40 years old women. Besides taking care and work as a hair stylist, Mr. Yoshida gives lecture all over Japan to students and professionals.

Mrs. Nakada’s second son is also working at Mr. Yoshida’s hair salon.

Mrs. Nakada decided to change to short hair about 2 years ago. After the hair cut, she was very satisfied with the result and said good hair cut makes hair styling easier.

Mrs. Nakada likes Henmi Emiri’s hair style amoung celebrities. For hair care, she often has a discussion with her 20 years old daugher. “ My daugher gives me a comment that I should work out and shapen up my body.” Mrs. Nakada said and smiled.

Her hair style is based on graduation bob, with layered cut on the surface to top up some volume. To give a natural movement, her bang is cut asymmetrically flowing towards her clavicle.

“Important point is the perm. I apply perm 1/2 length of her lower side hair to be curled ourwards. For upper side hair, I apply only one curl for hair ends. That makes daily hair styling much easier.” Mr. Yoshida explained.

“She is a cheerful and active lady, I chose relatively light hair color. She has 35% of gray hair, and I applied level 8 gray color. This is a style to show casual and natural movement which match her personal character.” Mr. Yoshida said.
