HAYATO London — Japanese hair and nails in Covent Garden
HAYATO is a long-standing Japanese salon in Covent Garden built on a ‘Simple & Natural’ philosophy — hair that looks polished in the chair and stays easy to manage at home. It has been named a Fresha Best in Class salon for five years running.
Services
The team specialises in Japanese straightening and digital perms, low-damage bleaching and balayage with genuine expertise in Asian hair, plus cuts, moisturising treatments and a relaxing Japanese head spa. Detailed gel-nail artistry and eyelash services complete the offer.
Technology & brands
Signature smoothing comes via the Silqy organic system for a glossy, low-damage finish, alongside Kerasilk conditioning treatments and HAYATO’s own Japan-made, organic shampoos and treatments formulated for sensitive skin. Nail and styling tools are kept clean and hygienic between clients.
Team & masters
The salon is led by owner Hayato with art directors Taiki and Anson heading the creative team, supported by directors and associate stylists trained in Japanese technique. A newer private-room location nearby offers more discreet appointments.
The Space
The salon has a warm, minimalist Japanese feel, and the recent addition of private treatment rooms gives clients who prefer quiet, one-to-one sessions their own calm space.
Who it’s for
For anyone with Asian or hard-to-manage hair seeking expert straightening or colour, clients who want a natural, low-maintenance result, and those combining hair with gel nails or lashes in a single visit.
