This big hair salon is located in the basement of a forty years old and famous building From First in Tokyo. The floor area is unusually big in the neighborhood where there are a lot of competitive salons. Taka Saito, the interior designer of this project left the original space open and stark as much as possible to make here ”a stage for something”, never adding much decoration with a collaboration with some artists. After opening, the salon invited ten artists for them to exhibit their works in there, which helped to activate the environment.

This hair dressing salon was designed upon a theme of “space like a villa in a resort”. Without saying the salon offers various service including hair coloring, perming, cutting, and nailing, it also caters smoothies to relax customers.

Old recycled beams and vintage terracotta tiles on the floor are welcoming. The second floor uses rustic panels in herringbone pattern and antique bricks and they has a reminiscence of old times.
