I’ve found something new that Tokyo is good for: hair cuts. I got a cut yesterday in up-market Ginza at a Tony & Guy owned salon, and I was blown away by what the guy did for my barnet. Normally, it’s a bit uncontrollable, and so heavily doused in hair gunk, but after Torisu-san finished sorting it out for me, it was totally different to how it had ever been before. All the haircuts I’ve ever had in the UK have been no good, and I always thought it was because my hair was naturally bad and hard to cut, but it was just because they were crap at hairdressing! Nice one, Torisu.
