Shima (Senior Stylist)
Originally from Japan, I moved to New York in 2005 and began my career as a hairstylist in 2007. I worked in the East Village for over 15 years, building strong relationships with my clients and honing my craft. Since 2020, I have been based in Midtown Manhattan, continuing to offer high-quality services.
With 18 years of experience in New York, I specialize in both haircuts and color. My goal is always to bring out each client’s natural beauty and ensure they leave the salon feeling happy and confident.

Natsume (Owner)
After gaining approximately 10 years of experience in Japan as both a stylist and manager , and further honing my skills in salons in New York, I co-founded Kizuna Hair New York in July 2023 with my business partner, Tenzin. With a strong foundation in Japanese techniques and hospitality, our mission is to build meaningful and lasting connections with each of our clients- reflecting the sprit of our name, Kizuna, which means “bond” in Japanese.
