It’s totally okay if you’re not sure how to explain your hairstyle request.

“I’m not sure how to explain the hairstyle I want at the salon.”
Have you ever felt that way?

You find a hairstyle you like on the internet or social media,
but when it comes time to tell the stylist, you lose confidence.
It’s hard to put into words, and your thoughts don’t come out clearly.
Actually, a lot of people feel this way.

But it’s nothing to be embarrassed or worried about.
After all, turning hair concerns into words is part of a hairdresser’s job.

At Hairdresser TAKA, I actually welcome those moments of “not knowing how to explain.”
It simply means your individuality hasn’t yet been verbalized—and that’s totally fine.
We can gently sort it out together during the consultation.

For example, I might ask you things like:

• How much time do you usually spend styling your hair in the morning?
• How do you dry your hair after washing it?
• What kind of clothes or atmosphere do you usually go for in daily life or at work?
• Are there any past hairstyles you really liked—or didn’t feel were right for you?

There are so many hints hidden in casual conversations like these.
From there, I gradually design the texture, silhouette, movement, length, and lightness of your style.

So even if you can’t give a “perfect request,” it’s totally okay.
Even starting from “not knowing how to explain” can lead to something that truly suits you,
and it’s my job as a professional to help guide you through it.

Of course, it’s helpful if you bring a reference photo,
but even if you say, “It doesn’t have to be exactly this…”, that’s perfectly fine.
In fact, from there we can figure out what you like about it—or what doesn’t quite feel right—
and use that to shape a style that feels more like you.

A hair salon shouldn’t be a place where you’re tested on how well you can describe your request.
I believe it should be a space where we work together to bring your unspoken feelings into form.

So don’t worry about being vague.
“I just feel like it’s too heavy…”
“I kind of want a small change.”
“I’m not sure how to describe it, but something about this area bugs me.”
—All of that communicates something real.

Come in just as you are, even if you don’t have the words yet.
It’s my job to help turn that into something beautiful.
