We have just introduced our pre-pay hair cut card which allows you to freeze the price of your hair cuts at today prices before the new price tariff takes effect in April.

Each card covers the cost of your next 3 hair cuts at the old price. As a special bonus, when paying for your 4th & 5th cut, we’ll charge you our old rates too. That’s 5 hair cuts at current prices – a saving of £5 over the new prices.

Ladies cards cost £81 (3 x £27) & gents cards cost £66 (3 x £22) and are available now from reception until 30th June 2010.

The new prices take effect from 6th April and can be found on our site.

We are pleased to announce our new loyalty scheme has gone live. To say thanks to you all we’ve introduced our new reward card which allows you to collect points and exchange them for rewards. There are 6 rewards available on every card and you can claim all 6 of them.

Ranging from free gifts, discounts, gift vouchers and BOGOF offers it’s our way of giving you something back.See all the info and points rate on the website and claim your reward card today!

After more than 12 years of use our original blue chairs and shampoo booths have been taken out of service and replaced with some brand new additions.

In keeping with our transition to a new calmer colour scheme we now have brown & cream chairs and shampoo booths. They are quite a bit more roomy than our previous chairs and we hope you’ll notice how much more comfy they are. Some of you will have already seen our new privacy blinds covering the windows which are also cream & beige colours. Matched with the new chairs it makes for a more pleasing relaxing atmosphere while you’re getting that great hair cut – the next best thing to business class….only you get the great massage from us too!

We’ve also made a little adjustment in the reception area which we think makes the whole salon look a little more pleasing. Taking less room than before it makes the salon feel a bit more spacious.

We hope you all like the changes! Let us know what you think.

There is an ancient Japanese tradition called taimou fude where a babies first hair cut is saved and expertley crafted into a calligraphy brush for prosperity and this has recently arrived here in the UK.

Koubundo have established their “Aka-Chan Fude” craft over here and have asked Keisuke Hair Artists to act as agents as well as our expertise when cutting a babies hair for the first time. The tradition means that only the babies first scissor cut be used for the brush which is usually around 6-12 months of age.This first fetal hair “invokes the good fortune and blessings of happiness, health, intelligence and a prayer of everlasting and unchanging love to be visited upon their child.”

Once cut, the babies hair is sent to Japan where highly skilled artisans take it through various processes in order to produce the hand crafted brush. It is then returned after completion which is usually around 2 months and presented in a wooden box made from the Paulownia tree.

More details are available in the salon as well as our site – look out for the Aka-Chan Fude page.
