It's my first time having my hair cut by a professional and I enjoyed the experience so much! I entered feeling lost about how to ask for a haircut, but Masa was able to articulate my vision flawlessly. He listened to my interest in adding layers and thinning out the amount of hair. In the end, he created a look that is perfect for my hair texture. The room is also full of tiny trinkets and feels very cozy. The results are so stunning and I left feeling the prettiest I have in a long time. I highly recommend visiting him!!
