Hair cut

“My first time at Akai and I was not disappointed. Hana was personable and easy to talk to. I wear my hair in a Bob and and I’m quite fussy about my hair since it is straight and any mistake would be emphasized. She was precise, and took her time cutting making sure each strand was cut just so. Hana did not disappoint, and I was very pleased. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Thank you, Hana.”

Terrific cut

Hana again demonstrates her skill in working with her client and creating a classic cut with a twist. Adept at razor wizardry, she creates textured layers that allows playful use of product to create incredible definition. Very happy with my new look for summer.
