Ms. Natori, 41 years old, is working as a PR person. She looks cool and elegant.

When it comes to hairstyle, Ms. Natori listens to her hair stylist’s advices.

Mr. Kito from the hair salon Cura, has been her hairstylist for over 20 years. Mr. Kito understands not only her hair but also her tastes and lifestyle.

“Once I wanted to change my very long hairstyle to something completely different, but Mr. Kito did not let me do it.” Ms. Natori smiled.

“Hairstyle is for everyday life. So, she had to be ready for some change. I thought it was not the right time for her.” Mr. Kito said.

It seems like Mr. Kito knows better about Ms. Natori’s hairstyle than her.

“Ms. Natori is a stylish lady.  She looks elegant the way she touches her hair. I created a style with a combination of perm, color, highlight, and treatment. The style looks great for different kind of occasions.” Mr. Kito explained.

For the hair cut, Mr. Kito took different parts of the front hair to give a natural movement when she does different styling. For color, he applied highlight color on the side, front, and top of her hair to give an effect when she touches her hair. For perm, he used a technique which give a good curls but less damage to the hair.

Mr. Kito used different technique for perm. For front and top hair, he permed from the root of hair. Then for the hair along her neck, he curled 1.5 times to the middle with the right angle for the style. As a result, Ms. Natori has a new hairstyle with soft curly hair.

“My new hairstyle is casual and have movement. It looks shinny and healthy. I really like this style.”

Ms. Natori is satisfied with her new style.

It is such a great thing to have a hairstylist who can create the best for you.
