Shinji

Shinji graduated from cosmetology school in Tokyo, Japan and spent 6 years as a stylist at a top-tier hair salon in Aoyama, Tokyo. He got solid experience as a hair stylist, but felt the need to plunge out of the islands and found himself in NYC with a suitcase in hand. After spending 8 years at several salons in NYC/NJ developing his skills in working with various kinds of hair, he finally made his life-long dream come true of opening his own little salon in NYC in 2015, and he owes it all to the amazing people he's met here at his second home. Thanks to SHAIR's wondrous location, Shinji is rarely found north of 14th street, unless he's headed to Home Depot to find things to DIY.
