Today marks the 32nd anniversary of our founding in New York on July 1, 1992.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a difficult time since our founding,
but we are grateful to the many volunteer staff and customers who have supported us to this day.
I have reached the turning point of my life, turning 60, and I am passing the baton of directorship of the New York salon to my son, Taiya, who is the current GM of the London salon, to create the future of Hayato New York with new, young energy.
As for me, I have returned to Japan to start my second life, and I hope to do my best to help Japanese hairdressers succeed overseas through the academy, as well as to contribute to the revitalization of Japan's local areas by promoting new businesses in Japan.
We look forward to your continued patronage of Hayato New York and Hayato International Salons Group.

Hayato Salons was founded in 1992. Our head office is our salon in New York City, with other salons in Roppongi (Tokyo, Japan), Hakone (Kanagawa, Japan) and Covent Garden (London, UK).
One of the concepts of Hayato Salons is “the pursuit of outer beauty in harmony with one’s natural inner beauty.” Our mission is to create salons that people will love to visit all around the world. At our Hayato BeSide Salon and Academy (New York and Tokyo) provides training to up-and-coming stylists with our high-quality techniques and unique services. Our development program helps to create international stylists whose talents are recognized around the world.
Hayato Salons’ stylists are all bilingual in English and Japanese, and they are experts in beauty techniques for any hair type.
Hayato’s international development program has been improving for more than twenty years. Our stylists have all completed technical training and language instruction at our New York head office or London branch. This is an important element in helping us to expand globally and attracting loyal customers worldwide. We also do our own research and development for our many unique services.
In the busy world of today, both men and women have to deal with stressful jobs and other societal pressures. Our salon has created our own shampoo massage technique to help customers relax and relieve tension. It is an acupressure technique, developed by a professional shiatsu master, applied to a conventional shampoo method. In Japan, a popular version of this technique is called “head spa,” and Hayato Salons were among the first to start using this technique.
The “head spa” massage stimulates the lymph nodes in the head and neck, which has a relaxing and detoxifying effect. Combined with a facial massage, it will tighten the lines of the face for an amazing anti-aging effect.
The Hakone store also operates a guest house where you can stay overnight and a campsite, but as a comprehensive complex facility with the theme of RE LIFE, I want to heal my tired mind and body in the city and refresh myself.
Please use it as an entertainment salon to enjoy the ultimate hospitality and extraordinary space of HAYATO SALONS that the salon owner thinks.
Hayato Academy is open to stylists who have worked with us for five years or fewer, and also beauty school graduates who have experience at other beauty salons and want to improve their skills to become top-level international stylists. We have branches of this popular academy in Tokyo 。
Our stylists will continue to use their creative talents t give the best service and satisfaction to our customers. “The pursuit of outer beauty in harmony with one’s natural inner beauty” has been one of our concepts ever since our New York branch was founded.
Hayato Salons will continue to work hard and expand our business globally. We aspire to be a top-quality salon that attracts loyal customers from around the world. |
