I've been going to Akane for a few years now and have tried most of their hairstylsts. They are all pretty solid. If it's your first time you can request for someone in particular (i.e. someone who cuts short or long hair very well, etc). Be forewarned that yes it is an all-Japanese staff and many of them are not particulary well-versed in the English language. Pluses are that they are perfectionists - they have spent 2 hours on a trim, 5 hours on a perm, etc etc. I go to Taka now, he's great. Make sure to make a reservation, without one it's a long wait.
Pros: Great Service, Solid Haircut
