Step into the world of Takamichi as he shares the story behind his collaboration with Nine Orchard Hotel.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Carina Fagiani, a Los Angeles-born artist and seasoned hairdresser, to the Takamichi Hair team. With over 12 years of experience in the beauty industry, Carina specializes in blonde transformations, extensions, and precision bob haircuts—bringing her signature blend of West Coast artistry and NYC edge to our salon.”
Now based in New York City, Tina divides her time between private clients, freelance teaching, and serving as the personal hairdresser to actress Rosamund Pike for film roles and red-carpet events—a trusted relationship spanning years.
The ultimate hair care kit with Tsubaki (camellia seed oil) based shampoo and conditioner from Takamichi ICHI.1 and 1 x cushion hairbrush from Shoji Works.
“Something of a hairdressing legend, Saeki has clients who fly from all over the world to sit beneath his scissors.”
“As soon as I saw the team’s development process, I knew it would be a very special project, says Takamichi of the just-opened boutique property occupying Lower East Side’s landmarked Jarmulowsky bank building.”
“In recent years, infrared light therapy has been heralded as a beauty cure-all, helping with a range of skincare concerns, from stubborn acne to slack, loose skin. As it turns out: it can help improve the health of your hair, too.”
“Developed by the acclaimed NYC-based stylist Takamichi Saeki, founder of the Lower East Side salon Takamichi Hair, this “ultimate hair kit” includes a luscious, nourishing shampoo and a strengthening conditioner (both in large 12 fl oz bottles).”
“While we’re advocates of natural hair and curly hair, the reality is dealing with it can take up excessive time and products. At the end of the day, though, it boils down to convenience and preference. So if the idea of having more manageable locks from morning to night sounds appealing, then hair straightening might be right for you.”
“At the age of 18 — and on his third attempt — Takamichi Saeki finally extricated himself from Japan. He escaped Tokyo for New York City, but it could have been London or Paris — anywhere, really, as long as it was abroad. He just wanted out.”
“We now consider this crazy-sexy-cool Instagram our muse for our next hairstyle and life in general.”
