There are many Japanese-style hair salons in China, but there are not many hair salons like URBAN ROOTS that truly offer authentic Japanese service. Located in Gubei, Shanghai, URBAN ROOTS has a 7-year history of opening, and has a strong Japanese hairdressing concept in terms of style and service.
THE FOUNDERS OF URBAN ROOTS, KIYOMI KISO AND WEN KIT LEE, ARE TWO VETERANS WITH MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN HAIRDRESSING. Kiyomi Kiso has collaborated with magazines such as Anan and Spring, and has held fashion shows in Paris and New York. Originally from Malaysia, Lee Man Kit is an excellent color artist who has won the third runner-up of the L'Oréal Color Achievement Award. There are a total of 5 hairstylists in URBAN ROOTS Shanghai, of which only 1 is Chinese, and the rest are from Japan. Every year, hairstylists return to Japan for a period of further training to learn about the latest trending hairstyling trends.
The Japanese hairstylists in the store can all speak some simple Chinese, but in order to better communicate with customers, there will be an interpreter on hand to assist. The five hairstylists are all good at creating Japanese hairstyles, Yukari, as the only female hairstylist in the store, can better understand the needs and preferences of female customers, Johnny is a Chinese hairstylist, although he has no experience in the Japanese hairdressing industry, but he was personally taught hairdressing techniques by the founder Kiyomi Kiso, and his strength should not be underestimated.
Of course, when it comes to URBAN ROOTS, in addition to the high standard of hairdressing, the meticulous Japanese service is also one of its major features. When washing hair, the assistant will bring a cotton cloth to cover the eyes to avoid getting the eye makeup wet, and in addition to the haircut, the guest can also enjoy an additional massage. In addition, blankets and cushions are also prepared for girls wearing short skirts. In terms of the atmosphere of the store, URBAN ROOTS is also quieter than other hair salons, which is more suitable for customers to relax.
THE PRICE OF URBAN ROOTS IS RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE, WITH HAIR CUTTING COSTING AROUND 200 YUAN, AND PERM AND DYEING HAIR BETWEEN 1000-1600 YUAN. URBAN ROOTS offers a variety of package packages, which can be consulted online in advance.
