Director Shunji Watanabe trained in Japan and spent eight years at one of Tokyo&#8217;s most prestigious salons before building a loyal London following known for precise, natural, easy-to-wear hair.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Services\"><\/span>Services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The salon specialises in Japanese cutting and styling, creative yet natural colour work, and its calming head-spa ritual.
