The lowdown: After learning the ropes at Vidal Sassoon, Japanese hairstylist Shuji Kida opened his own salon and expanded to different branches in the United States and Asia. His quick, efficient hands have styled the locks of celebs like Jennifer Aniston. Kida visits Manila once or twice a year to service special clients, and when he isn’t around, his team, headed by creative director Shigeki Ogaki, provides loyal clientele with the fashionable precision cuts and up-to-the-minute coloring that Kida is known for.
The verdict: Whether it’s the ancient art of the Tea Ceremony or the traditional way of preparing sushi, the Japanese have a way with rituals. They are simple yet intricate, and that’s what Shuji Kida Hair Salon is all about.
i consider chiyo’s cut is the best. considering i have a wavy hair and gone through a lot of other creative directors frm diff salons.
if i can get all top 10 email addresses…help!.thanks!
Hairworks is my #1
how come toni n guy is not on the list?
Thanks so much for this wonderful article. Just a suggestion, I think it’d be great if you could come up with another Top 10 list that are more affordable - particularly for students who are on a budget. Kudos!
i don’t get the satisfaction level ladies get when they show off the before/after shots of their haircut which cost them a whopping P1500. There’s no difference!
@travelgirl- yup i can agree to that. sometimes the cheaper cut makes the “cut”. I think it all boils down to the hairdresser not the salon.
ang pangit ng ugali ng owner ng univers kaizen salon sa MOA. Kahit m client pinapagalitan nya mga staff nya. DISGUESThing
