“Break Free from Mannequin-Like Hair — A Hair Design That Brings Out Your True Self”
Recently, when you walk around town, don’t you often see people whose hairstyles make you think, “I’ve seen that somewhere before”?
Regardless of gender, the same kind of bangs, the same color, the same texture.
Sometimes it looks as if rows of mannequin heads are lined up.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that.
Enjoying trends and incorporating fashion is a wonderful thing.
But if you copy a trend without placing the axis on “what suits you,”
your own uniqueness can quietly disappear.
That’s something I often feel.
As a hairdresser, I’ve designed the hair of tens of thousands of people.
Through that, I realized that the hairstyle that truly suits someone is “the hairstyle that enhances their individuality.”
For example, some people look cute with short bangs,
while others look more balanced with one side shaved.
Some suit very short layers at the top,
while others look softer when the roundness at the back is kept intact.
It all depends on facial features, bone structure, skin tone, fashion tendencies,
and even the atmosphere and personality the person naturally carries.
Nowadays, there’s an atmosphere that “trends = the correct answer.”
But even if you copy the “perfect style” you see on SNS or in magazines,
that is still “someone else’s correct answer,” not yours.
The same goes for fashion.
Even people wearing UNIQLO or ZARA can look incredibly “themselves.”
On the other hand, even with expensive clothes, something can feel “off.”
That’s because the clothes or the hair are becoming the main character, and “you” are no longer visible.
That’s why I value the “consultation” before cutting hair so highly.
Your facial expressions, the way you speak, the tone of your voice, the atmosphere behind your words.
I read these “non-information signals” carefully one by one
and build a design that belongs only to that person.
Rather than simply recreating a trend,
I want to create hair that makes people say “That must be ○○” even from 10 or 20 meters away—
hair that lets your true self shine through.
I believe that the work of a hairdresser is not about “cutting hair,”
but about “designing a way to express a person.”
Not a predetermined, mannequin-like hairstyle,
but a design that draws out the “good individuality” within you.
That, to me, is the true essence of hair design.
