How to choose a Japanese hairdresser in Melbourne

Japanese-trained stylists in Melbourne approach a haircut differently to Australian-trained scissors-over-comb hairdressers — most cut hair dry, slide-cut to remove weight without leaving blunt lines, and use Japanese-steel shears that hold a finer edge. Book a Japanese specialist when you want a precision cut that grows out cleanly, a digital perm, or an authentic Japanese head-spa.

What to look for

  • Training in Japan or under a Japanese senior stylist
  • Dry-cutting and slide-cut technique mentioned in their profile
  • Digital perm capability if you want low-maintenance soft curls
  • Japanese-steel scissor brand (Mizutani, Joewell, Kasho, Hikari)
  • Recent reviews from clients with similar hair texture to yours
