What is acid straightening?
Acid straightening (酸性縮毛矯正) is a gentler approach to straightening hair. It uses an acid-based formula, and I choose the products and processing to suit your hair type, condition and history, aiming for smooth, shiny hair with natural movement rather than a stiff or flat finish.
Depending on your hair history, it may be an option for hair that is dry, fine, or color-treated — I’ll tell you honestly after seeing your photos. The aim is smooth, manageable hair that copes better with Tokyo’s humidity; how long the result lasts depends on your hair.
Who it’s for
- Foreign residents in Tokyo or Yokohama, and international visitors to either city, who have difficulty finding a trustworthy salon with English support.
- Curly, wavy or frizzy hair that swells and frizzes in Japan’s humidity
- Color-treated or fine hair that needs a gentle approach
- Anyone who wants natural, smooth hair — not a stiff, over-processed look
Why an English-speaking stylist matters
Straightening is permanent for months, so getting the consultation right is everything. A small miscommunication about how straight you want it, or how your hair behaves, can change the whole result. During the consultation, I do my best to communicate in English as clearly as possible so I can understand your preferences before the service begins. I’ve spent 25 years working with international hair, including years in Singapore.

★★★★★
I had my hair straightened at the salon. I can’t speak Japanese well but that was no problem. My hair feels super smooth and is much healthier and more manageable now.
