Akane Salon

A treasure, pure and simple. Japanese stylists who know how to cut, shape and style. Their knowledge of nuances in hair texture, technical skill, attention to details, perfectionism - really unmatched in my lifetime. The cut is so good that as it grows out over the next weeks, it maintains its shape, angles, and style. Akane uses Japanese products to color hair as well, which are different (and less toxic) than other (Shige explained why to me, and it became more scientific than I imagined was possible). Perhaps best of all .. they listen. They match your face and personality to a style that flatters. There is a Japanese belief that beauty comes from within. Go. You can pay 3 times more and still not get as good a cut.

I have been going to Akane Salon for years. My hairstylist is Aki. He is so precise, and attentive. The whole Japanese salon experience is a treat. You walk in and they take you towards the back to wash your hair. You get a head massage while shampooing and rinsing. The chair itself is elevated to make the whole experience even better. Once you sit down, they listen to what you want and go from there. I have never seen someone cut hair and revise it so thoroughly as Aki. He's amazing.

The stylists are amazing! They have the proven skills and are very professional. They never fail to meet my expectations. This is a place to go if you are looking for a great salon in Westchester area!
