If the score is from 0 to 5, I gave Edward 2.5 and Tatsuya 5.0. Here is my experience in Hayato hair salon.
I had straight hair perm twice by Japanese hairstylists before and I love it. Because I lost contact with my previous hairstylist , I found Hayato hair salon, which only has Japanese hairstylists. I checked on-line comments and found few people recommend Edward. Before made an appointment with him, as a routine process that Edward needed to exam my hair make sure the qualification for perm and the price. I am an asia girl, so it is easy to qualify. Edward’s price is $300 & up depends on the length. My hair is about 3 to 4 inches below my shoulder. The clerk told me it is $300. Edward told me it is $320. I told myself since I am willing to pay $300, it didn’t make too much different to add $20 more as long as he is good.
Finally, I had my hair permed on 12/27 after waited for 2 weeks. During the perm, my scalp got burned by his assistant and him few times. When he was drying my hair, I felt my head had on fire (he rushed to dry my hair and put high temp on dryer). I tried to calm down myself by telling me no pay no gain and I would be so pretty after it finished. By the way, I forget to tell you that this $320 is including cutting my hair. Before I came to perm, I had a very bad haircut and my back of my hair has layers irregularly. I expected that he could give me a nice haircut to worth the money. He only spent less than 5 minutes to cut my front both side and left the back intact and told me he would not touch the back because it had layers already. At the end of the process, he started to blow dry my hair, I noticed my front both side of my hair appearing curves. My heart was sinking and told him that it is not that straight. First, he told me totally straight is weird. due to limited space, i will post my continuing comments with the title "good luck for your hair #2"
