OMOTESANDO: SOZO

Not all hair was created equal. If you're looking for a salon that will cater to your individual hair needs, this is the one for you. By carefully selecting the right treatment and dye to suit each customer, every coloring achieves the highest grade of execution. While this salon is well known for its masterful selection of dyes, the unique cutting techniques used by the staff are just as impressive. After the hair is balanced with a wet cut, it's carefully refined through a dry cut to achieve a flawless look. With the use of skilled dry cuts, expansive color menus and personalized hair treatments, a balanced cut and color that leaves your hair healthy is a guarantee at SOZO.

The customer service at SOZO is the best around. Putting each customer at ease with their friendly and helpful demeanor, if you are a foreigner you don't have to worry here. The staff here carefully usher each customer, and if you're not an expert at how salon processes work (like I was when I first went) then this is an easy experience for you. "We want to covey the spirit of Japanese hospitality to the world," is what the owners said after opening the salon. Combining the overseas experience of the staff and the customer service standards of Japan is the top priority at SOZO.

This salon has not only grown in popularity among Japanese in Tokyo, but Foreigners as well. With over 40% of SOZO's customers being foreigners either living as expats in Tokyo, or just travelling, this is an example of a truly international salon. The staff here have all studied abroad and communicate freely using English. This is a no-brainer if you're looking for a trustworthy cut at an English speaking salon.
