Misako Kato, 46 years old, is the owner of a reader models casting agency (reader models are amateur models who appears in fashion magazines).

 

“It has been 2 years since I established my company. In the future I would like to produce cosmetic products and expand overseas.”

Misako has a charming smile, and she looks cheerful when she talks about her dream.

 

“I choose natural and organic products for shampoo and cosmetics that I use everyday.  Rather than having a lot of products, I select high quality products for everyday life.” Misako said.

 

For her new hairstyle, she wanted to keep the length of her long hair which took her time to grow, and pump up the volume on the top of her hair.

 

Pumping up the volume of hair is a common need for women of UNIQUE PIECE generation.

 

 

Misako’s hair stylist is Ms. Sera from hair salon, ACQUA.

“I would like to create a long, shinny hair style to highlight Misako’s conservative elegance.” Ms. Sera said.

 

Misako has thin and soft hair.  First of all, Ms. Sera applied layer cut on the top of her hair to create soft and natural hair volume.  At the middle, he applied uniform layered cut, slightly shorter on the front.

“By layering the design, we can get both volume and natural movement.” Ms. Sera explained about her new hairstyle.

 

 

For hair color, he applied gray cover color to the root of hair, then applied natural brown color from the middle to top of hair.

 

For styling, he used 8 magic curlers on the top for both side of the head and the back side, and bang after drying hair.  Then, he used strong hold hair spray to keep the curls.

 

“I like the ACQUA hair salon because staff are very friendly and they give very precise advices for daily styling and hair care. I like my new soft long hairstyle using magic curlers. Because of their advices, I think I can do styling by myself.”

 

Professional hair stylist can create amazing hairstyle at hair salon, but it is often difficult for us to recreate the same style after, therefore, it is important to ask for advice for styling at home.

 

“Having a good hairstyle can change m everyday life’s mood. I will always put effort on my hair styling.”

Misako smiled.
