Did you know there’s an amazing hair salon in Shukugawa, Nishinomiya that holds 5 patents worldwide?
Pardon the intrusion. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary hair salon, but…
Whoa!
It looks like they hold patents in five places: Japan, of course, plus the United States, China, South Korea, and Taiwan. What kind of patents are they?
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 5-27-102 Hagoromocho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
Here are the patents↓
The patents are for haircutting aids, haircutting methods, and more. The patent invented by owner Mr. Tanaka is called “Cubism Cut®”.
What is Cubism Cut®?↓
It’s a method of cutting curly hair into a natural hairstyle using just one pair of scissors.
And it creates a hairstyle that can be styled simply by drying your hair.
Being able to style your hair just by drying it is a huge time-saver, isn’t it?
I always feel like the time spent drying my hair is such a waste,
and I’m Shacho @ Nishi2, someone who loves time-saving gadgets so much that I splurged on a Dyson hair dryer.
My hair has gotten longer too, so I’m getting it cut to save even more time!
I’ll be getting my hair cut by “Daiki Tanaka”, the son of patent holder “Takanori Tanaka”. He’s been in this line of work for 7 years. He’s young, but he’s got serious skills
First, shampoo. Incredibly careful! They also offer head spas, and it’s the kind that completely lulls you to sleep〜 I really want you to experience the way they rinse your hair. Seriously, it feels so precise you’d think a machine was doing it
And this↓
The shampoo they use costs 8,000 yen a bottle! It gives your hair great shine and volume and makes it look more youthful. The fragrance is so soothing too〜
I have a confession
It’s really curly, right?
My hair is actually pretty… curly. So what’s going to happen to it?! I usually manage it with a hair iron. Especially my bangs
Wait, Anne also uses a Dyson hair dryer! A fellow time-saver〜〜
Cubism Cut is a technique that follows the shape of the skull. Most people’s head shapes differ between the left and right sides, and this method takes that into account to create a balanced finish! So unique!!
Can you tell? He’s cutting in a curved way. This is Cubism Cut®
Takanori Tanaka, the owner of Anne Beauty Salon, also runs the Cubism Cut Association, and Cubism Cut has spread to 80 hair salons across Japan!! To put it mildly, this is a revolution that started in Nishinomiya〜
This is “Couple Cubi,” the patented tool.
It’s a tool that makes Cubism Cut easy to do.
So easy that even an amateur like me can do it. Amazing.
With Cubism Cut, one key feature is that professionals don’t use thinning shears at all. Apparently, when thinning shears are used on curly hair, it tends to become wavy and flyaways are more likely to appear〜
The cut alone creates sections of hair, so no styling is needed. Incredible techniqueIt also became much easier to run my fingers through my hair when washing it
The downside is that the cut takes about twice as long as a typical haircut. But since it’s a one-of-a-kind cut tailored to your bone structure, I’d say that’s acceptable.
What do you think?
Just wash your hair and dry it, and it’s automatically styled—that’s practically a miracle. Personally, I’m grateful for the time it saves in the morning
The most impressive thing is that even people with very curly hair can address it without straight perms. No wonder it was patented
If you’re really struggling with curly hair, or if you don’t want to spend time styling every morning,
try the new Cubism Cut at Anne Beauty Salon in Shukugawa.
