Chief Hair Deisgner stylist for 15 years
What is your favorite style?
Generally, I'm in charge of helping customers looking for short styles. Short cuts are simple but focus on details, so I try and get what the customer wants during the counseling. If you can understand how the person is feeling, and their daily life, then you can match a style that fits the individual.
What do you like to do outside of work?
I'm into hot yoga and overseas dramas! I lost 15kg since I started yoga, and I often was dramas and documentaries set in foreign countries on Netflix. I never get tired of watching these so let me know if you have any good ones in mind.
Is there anything you would like to say to the customers?
At AiWilL, we work to bring out the individual characteristics of each customer. Rather than offering popular styles, we try and create a look that will be the best for you! We take everything into consideration from hair quality to personality! If you're looking to find yourself through your style, please let us help you!
My Viewpoint

Sato has a soft demeanor that everyone can relate to. I was fascinated by his delicate work that showed detail and nuance. They really work to create styles that are easy to work with and it shows!

Airi Yanagiya

Stylist stylist for 4 Years
What is your favorite style?
I like working with short cuts, and men's cuts with a modern flare. We have quite a lot of men's customers, so we try to grasp the customer's atmosphere and use that to suggest a nice style. It's nice working with guys because I can also give them a female perspective that a barber can't! I also like to get the guys to try something more conscious of the season and use a bit of feminine charm as well.
What do you like to do outside of work?
My secret hobby is going to Karaoke alone! I love to sing sometimes after work to let off some steam. I'm a pretty independent person so I also enjoy traveling and going to hot springs alone every now and again.

Here we are all up to date on the latest styles, trends and tech out there. We combine this knowledge with each person's vibe to create styles we can recommend with confidence.

The owner Yamada, who has extensive experience as a hair dresser and instructor, can do just about anything perfectly. After graduated from the Vidal Sassoon academy in London, he moved back to Hokkaido and began his career. I think you can guess how well he is, but why don't you see for yourself!
