   We also offer hair styling to match your kimono. All hair-set plans include a hair styling using an curling iron or a hair straightener and a hair ornament. This service is available regardless of hair length.
   Since there are 5 patterns to choose from, it will be easier if you bring an image of your favorite hairstyle in advance. You may use your own catsuits and hair ornaments. (To prevent damage, please wear them by yourself.)
