Kaori
Stylist
Bursting with creativity, Kaori is always eager to begin her day with hair transformations. She is constantly experimenting with high tones in the search for the next best colour - be it a blended grey hair, bleached hair colour or short, edgy haircuts.
Having worked for eight years in a fast paced environment at a highly sought after salon in Japan, Tokyo (PEEK-A-BOO), Kaori’s haircut skills are impeccable and has since turned into a go-to for short haired customers.
Equipped with her skills acquired from over the years, she aims to mitigate her customer’s flaws & bring out the best in them by recommending the best suited style based on one’s face shape, style, demeanor and built.
Kaori strongly believes having a good low maintenance hairstyle leads to a high productivity lifestyle and reduces daily “stress” to ensure good looking hair.

Eric
Stylist
Inspired by the intricacies of Asian & Western hair, Eric has worked in multiple renowned salons with diverse clientele base that includes the locals, Japanese & Caucasians.

It is the allure of pushing his limits for creativity, especially for those who seek their own identity in style & fashion with no boundaries that truly ignites Eric's creative fervour.
Eric’s personal style involves harmonizing a balance of strong shape and nuance texture. With him as your hairstylist, each snip is an invitation to embark on a journey of endless possibilities & self-expression.
