In Tokyo's bad weather condition, I decided to walk into this salon after finding them on Google (which salon's speaks English). There are only one staff member who speaks English during the visit, yet their warm hospitality and relaxing atmosphere makes me feel assured that I am in good hands.

Her English was limited, and the other staff needed to help to translate, but I am very happy with the results, her understanding of what will look good on her client and the full treatment in this salon.
Will come back next time for their hair...
