What is your favorite style?
I am a specialist of design color and soft hair color that shines under natural sunlight. Customers often have different preferences of color depending on their age. For example, many university students like partial-light colors, such as point color and inner color. On the other hand, highlights are popular among the female customers who are in their 30s and 40s. You may think you have to pick a lighter color for highlights, but highlights could be effective enough as long as the highlighting parts are lighter than the rest of the hair. So I can offer natural looking highlights as well.
What is your favorite style?
My customers often tell me the information of cool restaurants and shops. So I like visiting these places. It happens that my other customers also know about these spots, and we can have some pleasant conversations. Besides that, I like to go shopping for clothes and watch movies at home.
What is your favorite style?
The first important step is to carefully listen to the customers, such as their ideal styles and hair concerns. My goal is to offer something more than they expect, and I believe consultation is absolutely necessary. So I spend time to talk to my customers.
My Viewpoint

By offering a stylish color based on the age and lifestyle of each customers, Kenta’s color techniques are highly recognized. If your job does not allow you to have light-colored hair, Kenta can create a darker but sophisticated color for you. Why don’t you go and see him to discover your best color?

On my day off, I like playing Futsal with my friends and also with my customers. We only need about 10 people to play futsal, so it’s convenient and fun.

I try my best to give some suggestions to solve your hair concerns. Every little information about you is important for me to create the most suitable hairstyle for you. For example, whether you usually tie your hair, and whether you often put your hair around your ears. So please don’t hesitate to talk to me.
