Ha Lu Hair Design
Once you sit down at Ha Lu, someone brings you coffee or cold water with a cookie. The salon is Japanese-run, and it's quiet and calm inside.

What people say
Careful, detailed work
Partway through, the stylist stops to ask whether the length is right before cutting any more.
You get what you asked for
Before a big change, such as waist-length hair to a bob or a soft perm, they tell you up front if your hair can take it.
Hair that needs fixing
If dyeing at home or at another salon left your colour patchy, they even it out.
Making yourself understood
The stylists speak clear English, and if Japanese is easier for you, the whole visit can happen in Japanese.
Easy to look after
Cuts are shaped to need little work between visits, on curly hair as well as straight.
Styling it at home
Before you go, the stylist gives you pointers on styling the new cut yourself.

Common questions
The things people ask before booking
Q My hair was rebonded recently. Can I still have a perm?
Miki has turned down a perm on freshly rebonded hair and suggested colour and layers instead, so mention a recent rebond when you book.
Q Is there a stylist who knows curly hair?
People with curly or thick, wavy hair book Seiji for their cuts.
