A hairstylist who has cut the hair of over 200,000 people is starting a note.

Nice to meet you.

I am Arifuku Kayama, a hairstylist who runs the hair salon TYCHE in Ginza.

For over 20 years as a hairstylist, I have had the privilege of cutting many people's hair while engaging with each individual client.

In a hair salon, I hear about all sorts of things—not just consultations about hairstyles, but also love, marriage, work, relationships, dreams, and worries.

I truly love that time.

Cutting hair is not just about grooming one's appearance.

When hair is well-groomed, expressions brighten, confidence is born, and it leads to the courage to take a step forward.

I have witnessed such moments many times.

That is why I believe that being a hairstylist is not only a job of "cutting hair," but also a job of "gently pushing someone forward in life."

Why am I starting a note?

On Ameblo, I casually share things I feel and events that happen in my daily life.

On the other hand, on this note, I wanted to write about my experiences and thoughts while taking a little more time to choose my words.

Things I have felt as a hairstylist.

Things I have learned as a business owner.

Things I realized after failing.

And things I have been taught through my encounters with clients.

I want to leave each of these things behind in this place.

What I want to write about on this note

・Commonalities in what makes people happy, which I have seen precisely because I am a hairstylist

・Things I have felt regarding love and marriage hunting

・True human dramas that occur in a hair salon

・The reality and lessons of salon management

・Ways of thinking that make life a little more positive

I do not intend to provide the "correct answer."

If what I have experienced can serve as a hint or provide courage to someone, that is enough for me.

Finally

I did not start this note to become famous.

I started it with the desire to leave behind the experience I have accumulated as a hairstylist in words and deliver it to those who need it.

That is the thought with which I began.

If a single article can become a catalyst for making someone's life a little more positive, there is nothing that would make me happier as a hairstylist.

From here on, I will write in my own words about everything from beauty, love, life, and management, to my daily realizations.

If you resonate with this, I would be very happy if you could follow me.

I look forward to your support.
