STEP BONE CUT
is the official name of the government certified patented technique for three dimensional correction and contouring through cutting.
By relying solely on the cut,
the usage of blow dryers has significantly decreased.
We aspire to establish this
"CO2 reducing patented technology" as the global standard and have therefore created a new workspace in this location, suitable for a hub of high-end brands.

Our goal is not to cut hair
People come here not just for a haircut but to transform.
Decorating only the external appearance will not bring happiness.
True beauty radiates from within.
Being true to oneself is the most beautiful.
I want to provide a haircut that can change one's way of being.
With such thoughts in mind, We have established a loft space in Omotesando, where the high end shops are lined up.

DIMENSION OF WELL BEING
SUSTAINABLE MENTAL PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL WELLBEING
As the hair is being cut, the unnecessary things within the heart are removed. The true soul is reborn into the new self it has been seeking.
A single message is meant to dwell within the heart.
Capture that one phrase, jot it down in a notebook and record it with the new hairstyle using a camera.
Reignite the flame of life.
SAYURI the company's founder initiated a transformative ceremony in Brooklyn where the heart is set free.
The artistic expression of life through hair design
TRANSFORM
THROUGH HAIRCUT
SIMPLY BY GOING TO GET A HAIRCUT
YOU BECOME A PART OF THE ARTWORK.
People gathering here.
Yourself expression starting today.
Creating art together.
Joining the art work.
Because as you cut your hair it is a message to the real you, freeing from adornments that dwells in your heart.
Writing it down on paper itself is art.
The sacred place of STEP BONE CUT where messages residing in the heart come together.
WORK IN PROGRESS
The concept that there is something valuable in the process of creating a work itself, rather than viewers perceiving something sensory from the finished piece by the artist.
BONE CONDUCTION
With each snip of the scissors, bone conduction occurs.
Bones vibrate and a sense of drowsiness sets in.
CUT IT 64 TIMES
The significance of 64 is to focus consciousness on the unseen world.
Everything necessary will be delivered by angels.
Don't worry, as it will never disappear.
Instead share it with others.
DRAWING CIRCULAR
MOVEMENTS
A moving meditation.
Similar to yoga and tai chi, it utilizes the center of gravity
by drawing circles around the head allowing purification to take place.
WE PROVIDE A SENSORY EXPERIENCE THAT STIMULATES THE FIVE SENSES.
THE SOUND OF CUTTING HAIR.
THE TACTILE SENSATION, VISUAL ASPECT AND FRAGRANCE.
LOFT SPACE
WAREHOUSE
Originally an apparel warehouse. Climbing the long exterior staircase opening the silver door to the salon.
To minimize waste, interior renovations are kept minimal.
Only essential functionality required.
Instead of walls, partitions are created using silver curtains,
as they can be utilized in various spaces.
A place where new things are born. Workshops, art events and photoshoots.
The curtain material is Tyvek® Silver which is an architectural material made of recyclable high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Even when incinerated, it decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

(PATENT-PENDING TECHNIQUE)
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE
Regular cut
STEP BONE CUT
On the right side is , while the regular cut on the left involves trimming the details with a razor afterward. Just trimming the tips with a razor can be done during the next haircut, so there is no issue. As hair tends to expand, reducing the volume is achieved through trimming the midsection with a razor. With each repeated cut, new trimming with a razor will be done. Gradually thinning the ends and adding volume to the midsection. Resulting in a larger horizontal expansion of the head.
For hairstylists, trimming with a razor based on imagination is easy. However, the drawbacks become immeasurable with repetition.
STEP BONE CUT ensures precise cutting without without using a razor. Employing an innovative technique based on unfolding diagrams. This approach offers excellent reproducibility and produces beautiful lines without the need for blow drying. A technique that solves all customer concerns, including hair damage, quality, frizziness, facial structure and hair design. It seeks sustainable beauty rather than temporary beauty achieved through styling tools like irons.

PRODUCTS
To address all concerns, including long and large faces, and damaged hair, we realized that the Contoured face slimming haircut alone is not sufficient. Thus, we proceeded with its development.
Driven by the desire to fulfill the wishes of our customers right in front of us, we conducted tests and improvements repeatedly.
The salon conducted tests with the expertise of over 1,000 professionals specializing in Face
Contouring. We collected the raw feedback of 6,000 clients with various skin and hair types.
What cannot be used on the face cannot be used on the hair, and what cannot be used on the hair cannot be used on the body.
We prioritize natural ingredients and focus on moisture rather than oils. Our products can be used for hair, face, and body. Catering to all genders as professional grade, gender neutral hair care products.
After multiple improvements since its initial release, we are now on the fourth generation.
The purpose is to maintain the face
contouring hair design achieved through STEP BONE CUT until the next visit.
Since this is a standalone shop, customers can try the products and experience face contouring even without making a hair reservation.
However, access is only granted by opening the silver iron door.
We are constantly improving. STEP BONE CUT technique and design are always evolving.
Interestingly, even while teaching as an instructor, questions arise, leading to discoveries and insights.
These insights are incorporated into an upgraded curriculum.
It takes two years of testing and refinement for a product to finally be commercialized.
Testing and refinement are possible because we have customers here. (Customers also participate in the LABO.)
Since it is something we use on our customers, we cannot compromise on what our customers purchase right in front of them.
Only the products that yield immediate results and bring smiles to our customers' faces become available for purchase.

ABOUT
SPECIALISTS
They are individuals who have nurtured and deeply loved STEP BONE CUT since its inception.
They are founding members of STEP BONE CUT and lead the development of STEP BONE CUT PRODUCTS as specialists in face contouring.

The concept is to provide a transformative haircut that shifts one's being to a new dimension, surpassing the transformation of the customers themselves and making the STEP BONE CUTTERS undergo a transformation.
The girl who longed to become a manga artist and admired the hairstyles in shojo manga would cut her own hair because she was dissatisfied with the results when going to hair salons.
She believed that becoming a hairstylist would fulfill her dream.
As time passed, the girl became a hairstylist herself. However the cuts she learned left her hair looking like a wig. She would thin out her hair to reduce the weight, but it ended up causing damage. And as her hair grew, the damage worsened.
Without using an iron, her hair wouldn't stay in place, but subjecting it to excessive heat seemed cruel.
That's why she dedicated herself to daily research.
She wanted to respect the hair and develop a Contoured face slimming haircut that would be gentle and promote natural circulation. And thus, she invented the STEP BONE CUT, which solved the hair troubles of many people.
