Ms. Okamiya, 40 years old, is a web designer.

Although she reads high-end fashion magazines such as “Domani” “InRed” “Oggi” “GLOW”, she likes simple, comfortable casual style.  The day of the interview she showed up in beautiful Spring color top and jeans.

“My hair is not easy for styling, because of the volume, driness of my hair and the shape of my head.  I couldn’t find a style for myself until I met Ms. Yamazaki.”

Ms.Yamazaki is a her hair dresser, taking care of her hair for 6 years.

Ms. Okamiya trust her hair dresser 100% since she understands Ms. Okamiya’s hair and give the right advises.

For her latest hair style, Ms. Yamazaki recommended short bang.

Ms. Okamiya was a bit worried at the beginning – short bang sounded a big challenge for her.  However, once again, it was the right choice.

“Ms. Okamiya’s hair has volume, so she splits her bang on the side which gives even more volume, and makes her head look larger. On the contrary, short full bang reduces the volume and looks cool and stylish.”

“I used special technique called “digicure” for perm. Digicure is good for damaged hair because it gives moisture to it, and makes it look soft and natural.”

Ms. Yamazaki explained.

For hair color, she changed from warm brown to yellow brown. Ms. Yamazaki added gold to yellow brown to make it shinny and elegant. Her new hair color goes well with the Spring season.

Ms. Okamiya respects her hair dresser as a successful business woman.

“Ms. Yamazaki always challenge new style. I respect the way she works. At the same time, she is very friendly person. Everyone at the salon is friendly and work as a team. It brings a good harmony and atmosphere.”

It is a chance to find a hair dresser like her and the hair salon also gives a good energy.
