Eiji Salon is a rare gem, in the beauty industry, mixing traditional Asian hospitality with innovative style techniques.<\/strong> Located on Madison Avenue, Eiji offers clients a relaxing environment where they feel welcomed and comfortable- an escape from the fast- paced environment, high voltage, trendy salons that New York City is known for. The salon is designed clean and sleek with refined d\u00e9cor, including contemporary furnishings alongside ancient Japanese artifacts and modern works by San Francisco interior designer Koichi Hara. Eiji is best known for its dry cut technique mastered by salon owner Eiji Yamane.<\/strong> The salon is staffed with the finest colorist and stylists New York City has to offer. <\/p>\n

Asiance was invited to an exclusive beauty experience at Eiji Salon for a highlight and haircut like no other from Akira, Eiji Yamane\u2019s son, who has mastered the \u201cdry cut\u201d technique.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eiji Yamane is a fresh, honest and undisputed leader in the world of beauty.<\/strong> Before opening his eponymous salon on Madison Avenue, he studied for 10 years under the direction of the late stylist-guru John Sahag. Eiji quickly mastered and re-defined Sahag\u2019s brilliant and legendary technique known as the \u201cdry cut\u201d and still believes today there is no other option in cutting hair than to cut while dry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dry cut is the only way to see the hair\u2019s natural shape and create styles based on the weight and texture of each person\u2019s hair,\u201d says Eiji.<\/p>\n

It is Akira\u2019s belief that the texture of everyone\u2019s hair varies, and that no two haircuts can be the same. He aims to custom tailor each cut to perfectly suit a client\u2019s individual needs.<\/p>\n

Akira trained under his father, Eiji, since he was a teenager and has perfected the \u201cdry cut\u201d perfectly. I received over an hour and a half of Akira\u2019s trained time, cutting and shaping my hair to perfection!<\/p>\n

Colorist Michael Murphy<\/h2>\n

With over fifteen years of experience, Michael Murphy, has become a premier colorist in the celebrity, editorial, fashion and consumer arenas.<\/p>\n

Murphy has worked with a wide range of high-profile personalities and celebrities including Katie Holmes, Carolyn Murphy, Celine Dion, Cyndi Lauper, The Dixie Chicks, Ivana Trump, Prince, Jon Bon Jovi and Steven Tyler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael has created this new color for Asian hair called \u201cBronde\u201d.<\/strong> It\u2019s a Carmel colored, JLo blond\/brown and looks entirely natural on Asian hair! <\/p>\n

Murphy\u2019s philosophy on hair color \u201cis to make each individual look the very best that he or she can. Before I formulate color, I consider the person\u2019s eye color, skin tone, hair pigment, maintenance and cost, while preserving the integrity of both my work and my client\u2019s hair.\u201d Murphy believes that a well-balanced face defines beauty. \u201cThe magic of color is that it can be used to elongate, widen, shadow or minimize the face. The wrong combination can exacerbate flaws so I try to educate the client on why something will or will not work for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

This philosophy helped to establish Murphy as a leading colorist in the editorial world. In the mid 1990s, Murphy began working with renowned photographers including Gilles Bensimon, Steven Meisel, Wayne Masor and Francesco Scavulo. His work has appeared in publications such as Elle, Glamour, GQ, Harper\u2019s Bazaar and Vogue to name a few. Additionally, Murphy has created the colors behind many designers including Versace, Gucci, Thierry Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Valentino and Chanel. <\/p>\n

Murphy is a native Texan who discovered his love for hair color at the early age of twelve while experimenting with his own hair. In 1991, Murphy moved to New York City and began his career as a colorist at Oribe where he quickly became a favorite with the salon\u2019s celebrity clients.<\/p>\n

In 1998, Murphy became the Italian spokesperson for leading hair care brand, Pantene. He has also worked with Clairol as a Color Master and he held an exclusive design and consulting contract for the brand\u2019s professional hair care collection. Most recently, Murphy has been a Matrix Color Educator and in 2007, he was a Latin spokesperson for Dove\u2019s \u201cCampaign for Real Beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you choose to not color or cut your hair Eiji Salon offers several different hair treatments that will leave your hair looking and feeling like no other. <\/p>\n
