Replied back your PM already. Just in case the others on this thread who are curious abt Hisato's whereabouts since they have been reading about my reviews at Shunji Matsuo earlier, it's not that he's not working in Shunji Matsuo anymore, but he has to maintain and run a Shuji's new salon that
just opened in Indonesia back in mid-2010. Since he has to jet back and forth to Indonesia on a frequent basis, it's quite hard to get hold of him for your hair appts unless u manage to be lucky.
I have since been relying on Nashiki-san (also located at Shunji Matsuo) for my cuts, or sometimes also visiting
Monso Hair Design located at Gallery Hotel (Nanson Rd) to look for Soga-san, if I can't manage to catch Nashiki whenever I need a hair appt.
One word of advice though, I don't think Monso Hair Design is suitable for doing hair colouring/digital perm (especially if u are a girl and tend to be choosy over such services), their rates are actually considered alot more exp compared to Shunji, and their salon equipment IMO is not as well-equipped/enhanced as Shunji Matsuo, cos ever since Shunji Matsuo moved to Heeren from Wellington building back last yr, actually Shunji-san did invested in some new equipment upgrades for their salon, to improve the overall customer service experience there.
Just sharing what I know.
Cheers.
