“Move Hair” has been in business for over 20 years
The session begins after a quick consultation about your skin condition.
The salon is run by a husband and wife team, which gives it a warm, welcoming feel. The wife specializes in women’s skincare, and she offers clear, personalized guidance from the first consultation. It is easy to see why clients return, including musical theatre performers and even someone who lives abroad but visits whenever they come back to Japan.
In addition to men’s and women’s cuts, color, and perms, one of Move Hair’s recommended services is facial shaving (ladies’ shaving).
It is especially popular among women for its kaosori (facial shaving), as many clients end up relaxing so much they fall asleep during the treatment. They say the results are immediately noticeable, with skin feeling incredibly smooth and refreshed. Most clients come back about once a month, in line with the skin’s natural 28-day renewal cycle.
Three of the treatment rooms feel like private rooms, so you can relax without worrying about others around you.
One thing I really liked about this salon is that each room has its own unique design, with different colors and a distinct atmosphere.
There is also a selection of manga at the entrance, perfect for reading while you wait. Plus, they sell high-quality shampoo, serums, and hair treatments.
The salon is run at a renovated home, giving it a calm, relaxed atmosphere.
The couple works together, so they can attend to two clients at the same time—sometimes up to three—each focusing on a different service.
Inner Ear Hair Trimming
Many women come to enjoy the beauty treatments, but there are also plenty of male clients. One particularly popular service among them is ear hair trimming, which she performs with great skill and patience. Apparently, it is surprisingly relaxing and seems to be especially appreciated by Japanese men, who can unwind just as much during the treatment.
“Move Hair” values not only skilled technique, but also warm, personal service, a comfortable space, and strong ties to the local community.
It was such a popular place that, until recently, they did not accept new clients—only regulars. But now bookings are open again, so this might be your chance to finally try that famous kaosori!
