VIP Creative Hair International english speaking hair salon Tokyo bilingual hair roppongi — Local services in Tokyo

I usually go to Spice Aveda by my home station, for "maintenance." When I was living in Yokohama, I did get one stylist who's good in style change in Motomachi, but it's just too far for me. Still, since I wanted a "style change," I knew I needed someone more familiar with the non-Japanese "kawaii" style. I'm not saying it's bad; I've many Japanese friends that have that style, but it's just not me. I wanted something cool and fresh. Sharp-looking and just a little edgy. I've tried many salons for a "style change." Mostly in Omotesando. And while the Japanese omotenashi is there in most of the salons I've visited (save for one in Omotesando where the stylist's hands smelled like cigarette smoke), I couldn't get the style I wanted. Good, but not wow. So far, all the people who've seen my hairstyle now really love it. I get a lot of compliments. I only got one "referral discount coupon" but I had to ask friends and colleagues to just take a shot of the coupon since I couldn't give it away to only one, since many have asked for it. I hope Yuko-San accepts the coupon photo. Ha ha ha. Also, Zacky's hands are magic. Her hair treatment and massage were great. Her warmth and communication skills, too, are awesome. Hiroo is a little out of the way for me, but now I have three solid reasons to go there: my Derma (Garden Clinic Hiroo), Bondi Cafe (good coffee and Pavlova), and everything about VIP salon! I got the "wow" I was looking...

Fantastic job from this hair salon. The staff speak English well, and were all extremely friendly. I got a spiral perm and the base lvl hair treatment. Phenomenal value. The treatment cost only ¥3,500 and included a 10 min head, neck, and shoulder massage. As for the perm, I have hair that can only be politely described as "uncooperative". I have extremely fine and fragile hair with natural 2a/2b curls, but after only two dye jobs my previously annoying became entirely unmanageable. Not only did it break at the slightest provocation (think washing, brushing, any kind of manipulation) it had also become flat and lifeless looking. I previously almost never set foot in salons, and now I was going to salons every month everywhere across East and South-East Asia getting treatments to try to restore some strength and texture. My hair grows incredibly slowly (7yrs/2') so I really, REALLY didn't want to get a big chop and start over. These guys literally saved my waist length hair. Even though previous attempts to perm my hair have failed, they somehow managed to get my hair to the 2c pattern I always wanted without frying it all off, despite the extensive existing damage. I would give a million stars if I could. Thank you...

I was in Tokyo in September and had the smart idea to have my hair cut and styled near Roppongi where my hotel was. I googled and discovered a well-rated English-speaking salon and made an appointment via email. Prompt response, appointment made in the afternoon I wanted. After lunch at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon I sauntered over to the salon and met the owner Yuko who welcomed me into a room for my haircut and treatment. Salon was clean and tastefully appointed, Yuko was fun and trendy yet professional and thoughtful. I do not have much hair to start with, so I knew it would be a challenge. Anyway, a few months down the road the hair has grown out a bit and I like the way it looked a bit “wild” on the second day after a wash giving it a bit of volume. It was a nice experience and I am glad I visited VIP Creative during...
