What Is a Japanese Salon?
In the Philippines, a 'Japanese salon' typically refers to a hair or beauty salon that uses Japanese haircare products and techniques, offers Japanese-specific services (shukumou kyousei, TOKIO INKARAMI, keratin treatment with Japanese brands), is staffed by Japanese-trained or Japanese-fluent stylists, and maintains the Japanese salon culture of precision, attentiveness, and minimal small talk.

Cutting
Japanese Precision Cut
Japanese cut techniques emphasize precision dry cutting and texturizing — different from the Filipino 'wet cut' standard. Particularly suited for Asian hair types: straight, fine to medium density.
