Read all about Takamichi collaboration with Nine Orchard hotel.

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.

We made it to Esquire, Top Shelf, with TAKAMICHI ICHI Body Lotion.

“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).”

“A product perfectionist”

“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.”

“New York's Best Men's Hair Stylists”

“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.”

For the devoted group of New Yorkers who’ve experienced Takamichi Saeki’s scissor work firsthand, there is no going back from the “Takamichi cut.”
