Q. Can foreigners' hair types be treated?
A. Hairdressers are trained, but the salons that specialize in hairdressing vary depending on the type of hair, curly or straight. It's a good idea to ask during your preliminary consultation, ``Do you have any experience in handling foreigners' hair?''
Q. What is the market price for a cut?
A. The average price is 3,000 to 6,000 yen for men and 5,000 to 10,000 yen for women. The highest trend is in the order of beauty salons > barbershops > chain stores.
Q. Is there a nomination fee?
A. A nomination fee of usually 500 to 2,000 yen is added. We recommend trying it out without specifying it the first time, and if you like it, specifying it next time.
Q. Are there any beauty salons that speak English?
A. Many located near major stations in Tokyo and Osaka. You can find it by searching for "English-speaking" and "Foreigners welcome" on Google.
Q. Do I need a tip?
A. Tipping is not required at Japanese hair salons. Rather, it is good manners not to accept it. Express your gratitude in words.
