I have always been to Japanese hair salon for my hair because they usually are very thorough checking details after hair cut. But I am so disappointed with the job done at Arakus. I told the hairdresser already that my left and right hair were uneven and he only fixed the parts I pointed without checking the rest. When I went home I checked again, it was obvious the cut was choppy and uneven. The next morning it was even worse. Someone from Arukas needs to fix this.
Arukas responded my feedback promptly and scheduled me a new appointment with a different hairdresser to accommodate my request. I do appreciate the sincere apology from the hairdresser... read full review

I’ve gone back to Arukas twice to get my hair cut over the past year, and I highly recommend Kaz! Super friendly and gave me exactly what I asked for, which was a toned down version of a wolf cut. He styled my hair at the end, too. As someone who lived in Japan for 5 years, I can attest that the service, price, and quality of haircut are on par with what you’d get over there. Highly recommend :)

Yosuke is amazing! I have been looking for a hair dresser in San Jose for a while now and wanted a quality hair cut since I haven't gone to a salon in years. I showed yosuke a reference video of what I wanted and he nailed it! He was very gentle and nice asking me my thoughts on the cut throughout the process. He also washed my hair and gave me a scalp massage that was relaxing. The place is clean and chill. I went after work so it was pretty quiet.
