Hair Removal in Osaka, Japan

Nail Salon: Ola Brilliant in Kita-Horie has an almost fluent English speaking staff.

Cubiculum hair salon in Kobe. Fluent English but also gets it when people feel like practicing / speaking Japanese. His wife is from NZ and he has loads of experience with NJ hair types. Yuki is the owner's name.

Hair salon: Esiotrot hair salon in Kita Horie. Hisa speaks excellent English and is a genuinely one of the nicest guys you'll meet. He also has discounts every Wednesday for foreign customers and first time customer discounts.

Ditto what Heather Shirai said about Raddi Esthe. For hair: Keiji at 'the re-treat' hair salon near Utsubo Koen is definitely the best hairdresser I've found. He worked in L.A. for many years. You get a private haircut, amazing massage. He also does color. And best of all, he's cool with kids (if you need to bring 'em). I've recommended him to everyone I know and he came on recommendation from a friend! Only thing I could find was this video for his info - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6bRGabOaUQ As for nails - the best nail art I've ever gotten was at Nove9 in Honmachi. Highly recommended (referred also by a friend who always has amazing nails she designs herself) - http://www.nove9.net PS - *thank you* for doing this!!

I uploaded the file to this community last night, but it seems it was deleted...am not sure why a compilation of the info in this thread violates community guidelines :-/ But, anyway, you can see and download the pdf here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B54YtvEOe6 jvZ1 pvTmczQUM4 eU0/view?usp=sharing
