Not a High Price, But High Value

── The real reason behind Taka’s pricing

Many people care about the cost when choosing a hair salon.
That’s totally natural — I also care about the price when I receive any kind of service.

But what I always feel is that
“whether it’s cheap or expensive” is less important than “whether it feels worth it.”

■ Sometimes people say, “That’s expensive.”

To be honest, my pricing might feel expensive compared to chain salons or standard hair salons nearby.
“This much for a haircut?”
“Isn’t that pricey for the time spent?”

You might think that.

But for me, there’s a clear reason behind my pricing.

■ I’m not just “selling haircuts.”

Creating hairstyles is a hairdresser’s job.
But I don’t think I’m just selling “haircuts.”

• Hair that helps you feel a little more confident in yourself
• Hair that lets you feel good in front of others
• Hair you can easily style on busy mornings
• Hair that helps you feel emotionally balanced

That kind of “hair that influences your everyday mood” — I create it together with each client, one-on-one.

■ What kind of “value” do I offer?

Even for a simple haircut, I ask things like:
“What kind of lifestyle do you have?”
“What do you usually wear?”
“How do you want to present yourself?”
I take time to listen to those things before I even touch the scissors.

Sometimes the consultation alone takes more than 30 minutes.
But I truly believe that’s where the real value lies.

Because a hairstyle isn’t just for that one day —
it stays with you throughout your daily life.

■ I offer depth, not just speed

“Other salons can finish a cut in 30 minutes.”
“Shouldn’t it be more speed-focused?”

You might think that.
But I’m doing more than “just cutting hair.”

Not just technique —
I dive deep into each person’s lifestyle and values to propose the right hairstyle.

Because of that depth,
even a simple cut can become “a moment that changes how you feel.”

■ Not about “high price” — it’s about “high satisfaction”

I’m not trying to be “a high-priced hairdresser.”
I want to be a hairdresser who offers
“a high level of satisfaction.”

When someone tells me:
“No one has ever listened to me this carefully before.”
“Since this haircut, I kind of like myself more.”
— I feel truly happy and glad I chose this path.

■ In the end

If you look only at the price and think, “That’s expensive,”
I hope you’ll also take a look at the reason behind it.
How I approach each person, and the care I put into every session.
I believe once you see that, your perspective on the price will shift.

I don’t want to be remembered for the price —
I want to be the kind of hairdresser you’re glad you chose.
And I hope to keep doing this kind of work for a long time to come.
