Q+A:

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Shiki Worker Blow Dry Primer

How do you determine which prep product to begin with?

A thorough consultation allows me to examine the density and texture of a client’s hair. Shu Uemura products work best when layered starting with a primer like Shiki Worker Blow Dry Primer.

Do you have a favorite go-to?

Wata Wave Texturizing Spray is my all-time favorite because anyone can benefit from it. The fragrance is amazing and it gives life back to styles two or three days after a blowout.

Shu Uemura Art of Hair

How do you think the precious ingredient story plays into speaking to products with clients?

When I think of anything crafted by an artisan, I feel the ingredients are just as important as the finished result. I personally love hearing about ingredients in products, I love learning the technology and historical significance in Shu Uemura's precious ingredients.

What makes Shu so appealing to clients and stylists?

Shu Uemura represents the tradition of Japan with the power of nature. It is luxury haircare products, using the most precious ingredients that has been used for decades.

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Awa Volume Volumizing Hair Mousse

Which two products can you not live without? And why?

It's hard to pick just two products I couldn’t live without. Each product has a purpose, but if I had to I would choose Awa Volume Volumizing Hair Mousse and Wata Wave Texturizing Spray. Those two products to me are the stars in the line because of its undeniable volumizing benefits. Together they are the perfect combination for voluminous stunning hair.
