Hikaru Terada / 寺田光

Hair Stylist — Koenji, Tokyo

Hello, my name is Hikaru. With over 15 years of experience as a stylist in Tokyo, I focus on helping clients feel confident in how they express their personal style through their hair.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of being part of many meaningful moments — from giving a child their first haircut to styling them for their high school graduation, to styling someone for their big proposal. These real experiences are what make my work so special to me.

はじめまして。寺田光です。ご近所から海外の方まで、ボーダレスにたくさんの方のヘアスタイルに携わってきました。ヘアスタイルを変えることで、何か日々の生活のテンションが上がるようなご提案をしていければと思っております。

FAQ

よくある質問

Yes — all consultations and services are in fluent English. I've worked with clients from over 20 countries. No phrasebook needed; we'll have a real conversation about your hair.
This is what I do every day. Curly, wavy, fine, thick — each texture has its own logic. I start by watching how your hair moves naturally, not by applying a one-size-fits-all technique. 15 years of international clients means I've seen almost every pattern.
Yes. You can communicate fade lengths and blending preferences in English — skin fade, mid fade, taper, whatever you need. The consultation ensures we're on the same page before the clippers come out.
Totally fine — that's actually where the best conversations start. You can try the Signature Finder before your visit, or we talk it through in person. Free pre-consultations are also available via Instagram DM.
Welcome but never required. The consultation starts with understanding your lifestyle and daily routine — not just a picture. If you have references, great. If not, we'll figure it out together.
Yes, and it's free. Send photos of your current hair and tell me what you're thinking via Instagram DM (@hairisyoursignature) or email. No commitment needed.
Tokyo's humidity is brutal, especially in summer. I offer KERAFFECT keratin treatments (from ¥4,400) that calm frizz without flattening your natural texture. I also walk you through a daily routine that works with the climate here — not against it.
A Japanese keratin treatment that strengthens and smooths hair without the heaviness of traditional keratin. Particularly effective for color-treated or bleached hair. It reduces frizz while keeping natural movement. From ¥4,400.
Yes — balayage, highlights, and full bleach services are available. Double process colour starts from ¥20,900. The technique is adapted to your base colour and hair condition, with a thorough consultation before any chemical service.
Yes. I offer cold perm, cream perm, and easy perm options designed for natural-looking movement. The approach depends on your hair's current condition and texture. Perm services start from ¥8,800.
The base cut price is ¥6,600 regardless of length. Some chemical services (colour, treatment) may vary depending on hair length and condition — this is always discussed during consultation, never a surprise.
A free diagnostic tool that translates your mood, music taste, and visual preferences into a starting point for your hair consultation. Useful if you're not sure what you want. Try it at find.hairisyoursignature.jp.
English speakers can book online through the scheduling system linked on this site. You can also DM me on Instagram to arrange a time. Walk-ins are not available — appointment only.
Cut: ¥6,600 (shampoo & blow included). Colour from ¥8,800. Double process from ¥20,900. Perm from ¥8,800. Treatment from ¥4,400. Full menu and set packages are on the booking page.
Yes — both cash and credit cards are accepted. This isn't standard at all Japanese salons, so worth knowing in advance.
By appointment only, 11:00–20:00, every day. Real-time availability is shown in the online booking system — no need to guess which days are open.
Yes. HIKARU TERADA operates as a private studio (Mirror A) within R_UNDER in Koenji. One-on-one, appointment only. No other clients during your visit.
JR Chuo/Sobu line — 7 minutes from Shinjuku, no transfer. The salon is a 3-minute walk from the south exit. Koenji is one of Tokyo's most interesting neighborhoods: vintage shops, live music, great food. Worth arriving early.
