What is your favorite style?
I am specialized in men’s hairstyles. Most of my clients range from college age to the 40’s. Many workplaces have some restrictions on hairstyle, so I am trying to offer a variety of styles that doesn’t violate the business dress code, such as partial color and point perms. For example, partial brown highlights make the whole look brighter and fresher. I will do my best to offer you a satisfactory outcome!

My Viewpoint

Although albasanz’s 20 to 30% of customers are men, 40% of Keisuke’s clients are men. This number proves his exceeding skills in men’s haircut and color. I was especially amazed by his “hidden color” technique. By adding some brown highlights, the entire look becomes lighter. I can recommend him not only for men but also for women, of course. If your workplace enforces a strict dress code, why don’t you go and see him?

What is your favorite style?
I am specialized in bob haircut. I pay extra attention to cut around the face line. The length and weight of bangs and side parts are also crucial. It is not easy to express movements with bob hairstyle, so adding some playful highlights is often helpful. I generally offer office-friendly hairstyles. Please do not hesitate to come and see me!
What is your favorite style?
I like to go get a massage. I visit the massage salon about once a month. As a stylist, my job requires a lot of standing. So foot massage is much-needed.
