About akira
Since 1953
Akira's first owner, Akira Nishino, opened a hair salon in Kobe.
That was a time when hairdressing was still considered a woman's job.
Ever since I set out to become a hairdresser, I have thought about the psychology behind people's actions and observed their movements.
I spend more time thinking in my head than other people and using my hands to understand everything from the customer's bone structure, hair type, and personality.
It affected the cut. ``At some point, people around me told me, ``Akira-san is a genius,'' but I was able to work harder than most,'' she said with a smile.
We will continue to carry on the history of Akira that has been passed down from our predecessors.
We will all connect sincerely.
