I just got my hair cut really really short, and even though I don't have a photo to show you yet I have something even better. I have photos of a stylish Japanese award winning hair stylist/ color specialist for you. I met him while I was getting my haircut at my favorite Japanese salon YUI salon on 323 West 11th St in NYC. Meg is the best! Love you! While I was sitting in the chair I noticed a super stylish guy with a bright necktie and an unusual tie knot. I had to talk to him and take some photos so I can show you. Unfortunately all I had with me was my iPhone, but the photos came out pretty good anyway.
Here is what Naoki does to achieve this look: he folds the tie in two and then wraps it around his neck and pulls through the fold, leaving the tail end of the tie really short. Simple but fun, and effective, don't you think! Naoki was also wearing hand-painted canvas shoes. Take a look:
And if you wanted to know more about Naoki Douzono, I should tell you that he is quite famous in Japan and has won the prestigious Japan Hairdressing Award for Tokio. Normally he works in HIROIN salon in Japan, but he visits the YUI salon every other month to work with clients in NYC. His website is in Japanese, so I couldn't understand most of it, but his portfolio is spectacular. You can see it at d-standard.com. Here is a shot of it.
