We will be open for all national holidays from April, and also during Golden Week.

We will be closed only on every Tuesday & every 3rd Sunday.

It will be  great news for people who have fine and thin hair.

We have started  providing services with a Long-lasting Volume-up Treatment.

The substance reacts with heat and stays in the hair permanently.

It will make the hair full and shiny for more than a month even after shampooing.

It is made from a  plant, so it  is quite safe and works very well. It also makes the hair strong .

Please ask our staff.

We have changed our coffee mill.

Our previous mill became dull and  were not able to grind such fine coffee powder .

We  think  that a fine coffee powder makes a good flavor with espresso machines

We have been getting special french roasted coffee beans at the same roasting shop for ages.

Please enjoy our superb coffee.

Like a fingernail is soft after taking a bath, so is hair when it is wet.

We almost always cut hair wet rather than dry, after shampooing.

Hair styles, though always are naturally dry.

In order to cut with the clients face and hair proportions in mind,

we need to cut hair dry to see how the natural curls and waves flow.

That the reason why we need a dry cut.

PPDA is used for almost all hair colors.

It turns dark when it is oxidizied.

This is the reason why it is used in many hair colors.

However as some clients are allergic to PPDA, once a person gets allergic, it is quit permanent.

We use Henna or Hair-Manicure which doesn’t apply on a scalp  derectly for clients who are

allergic to PPDA.

Recently we found PPDA-Free alkaline color and PPDA-Free Herb Color which is organic.

There aren’t large valuations of colors but you don’t have to worry about PPDA and allergies.

Golden Week refers to the period from April 29th to May 5th when there are four national holidays.

Including Saturdays and Sundays Japanese have more than a week of holidays at this time.

A Cut Above takes off on every Tuesday and national holidays , so we are closed from 2nd to 5th .

Enjoy this beautiful spring time before following rainy season.

Highly Damaged hair loses color easily as it doesn’t have enough substances which graves onto the color properly.

A Cut Above recommends Herb Color as toner.

Herb Color was originally formulated as an all-natural ingredients hair treatment. Later diamine, a chemical pigment used in all colorings, was added to the treatment to improve hair condition without damaging it. This is the reason why the color lasts longer.

Additionally, the color lasts after applying Keratin-Blow-out for the same reasons.
