Japanese beauty and hair styling trends

Overview

Beauty and hair styling trends in Japan have seen increased attention through social media and specialized product rankings. Initial observations noted a shift in consumer behavior, exemplified by a viral video of a client transitioning from low-cost, 1,000-yen haircut services to a professional salon for a dramatic style change. This highlighted a landscape where consumers navigate between budget-friendly, streamlined shops and professional establishments.

Subsequent trends have focused on specific styling techniques and product preferences. Popular methods include the ‘kururinpa’ braiding technique for hair stability, while the ‘wolf-cut’ remains a significant fashion focus for men in Tokyo. In terms of consumer products, Aesop’s ‘Sculpt Hair Polish’ has emerged as a top-ranked item for its balance of hold and washability, alongside interest in Shiseido Men’s oil-control serums.
