I came to Canada because I wanted to see the world. I have been styling hair for over 11 years. I was educated and trained at Kokusai hairdressing and worked for EARTH, one of the largest hair salon companies in Japan. There I practiced and honed my craft for over 7 years before coming to Canada
Favorite memory in Japan?
When I was eighteen years old, I was hanging out with friends every weekend after finishing a hard day’s work as a hairstylist. I have always waited. Through time, my friends and I would always gather together and share each other's food & drink- often because we didn’t have enough money
We shared our stories and had a good time. They are great friends of mine. I can’t ever forget that happy memory I have.

college & bay salon
I’m Yoshi who is a licensed stylist in Ontario, Canada. I’ve been doing hairstyling for both men and women for over 10 years and having extensive experience, I offered numerous hair services for cutting/colouring/bleaching, balayage/highlights, perming, and straightening.
I am passionate about my profession so I always upgrade my skills and update my knowledge to be ahead with the ever-changing demands of my customers and be relevant to the industry.
I considered hairstyling as a work of art where I see myself as a painter that will materialize my client’s dream look into a reality. My unique work of art will boost their self confidence by feeling great about their new look and appearance.
Seeing my clients with a huge smile after the service is a validation of my passion.
