Longtime Frugal Japan/Frugal Watch supporter Shaney Crawford recommends this hidden jewel of a hair salon in Tsukuba, a university town in Ibaraki with a large number of foreign residents. Shaney swears by Kubota-san’s excellent service and reasonable prices, and told us a bit more about J-Cool.
“The shop is called J-Cool and it is owned by Masaru Kubota. Masaru has studied in both the US and Japan and opened his shop with the express purpose of catering to the foreign population in Tsukuba. He can speak in English and he is working on training his staff to speak English too. He has experience dealing with a variety of hair types and styles.”
Finding a reliable barber/hair stylist in Japan that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg is something I view as a necessity to a happy long-term stay in Japan. Interested? Check out the website.
