HAIRCUT AT UPSY DAISY
So yesterday I mentioned that my mom had scheduled an appointment for a haircut at a funky hair salon. Thinking it would be an interesting experience to document, I packed my D3 and tagged along. I didn't know what to expect but my mom described the vibe of the salon as 'bohemian hippie grunge'. I dressed somewhat accordingly...
Vintage patchwork leather jacket, stripe tee from Urban Outiftters, Hysteric Glamour jeans, Martin Margiela clogs, Martin Margiela python clutch, vintage belt from my mom's old boutique, and my elephant necklace.
Upsy Daisy was tucked away in a semi-underground nook off of Omotesando, just a short distance from the Chanel and Martin Marigela boutiques.
The clientele there made for VERY intersting people watching! Loved this girl's short shorts with shearling cuffs and super-slashed tee.
They had a pretty fish tank outside the door.
Some of the extensions hanging on the walls-pretttttyyy, so much texture.
I think the little room in the back was a makeup station. I totally want to get my makeup done there!
My mom has told me that Japanese hair stylists cut your hair in a very different way than they do in the US so I was kind of curious to watch the process.
The end result!
Maybe it was the hair-dye fumes, but somehow when I was hanging out at Upsy Daisy, I got it in my mind that it would be a great idea to get some colorful extensions woven into my hair...I made the appointment for tomorrow afternoon.
I'll let you know how it goes!

Your mom looks so amazing and YOUNG! Her skin is so radiant and the haircut came out wonderfully.
I'm really enjoying your Tokyo reports. Is it some unwritten rule that everything in Japan seems to be 10x more brilliant than in the States?
Anyways, keep up the updates and photos because it is all pretty amazing to date...
colorful extensions...

They totally cut hair differently in Japan... their techniques amazing. Whenever I visit I make sure to make an appointment with Yossi at Boy Salon in Daikanyama. My brother and I have been seeing him for the past 4 years now and we always walk out with the most amazing haircuts that grow out so beautifully. And they do color differently in Japan too... I wish I could go more often!
ps
Craziest thing ever: I have that same exact elephant necklace! I found it at a vintage store in Santa Fe, NM for like 2 bucks! I nearly screamed when I saw you wearing yours... I mean how often do you see a necklace like that? It's such a crazy piece
Your outfit is so inspiring. You and your mom are both beautiful girls. Maybe I'll visit that salon some time.

That salon looks crazy cool!! Your mom's cut looks fantastic and I can't wait to see your colorful hair extensions!
jane,
amazing photojournalism! I love all your hysteric glamour jeans- I've decided I need to order some for myself now! just wondering what size you got- I think we might be the same size and I'm not sure how Japanese sizes run.

Wow, so colourful and vibrant. I love the kind of high school art studio kitsch that the salon had it's so unique. So exciting about the extensions...can't wait to see how they turn out!

I love how you mixed the patchwork and stripes together, but my favorite piece in your outfit has to be your shoes! -Noelle
Wow...your mom looks so fresh and young with that haircut! Can't wait to see your colorful hair extension tomorrow.

oh gosh do it, do it, do it. And it can't just be the hair dye fumes because even your photo of the wall of extensions made me want to join in the fun.
I like the pastel blue ones with other pastel shades in the fibres.
I thought it was kind of weird that you were going to Tokyo for such a long time...I've never understood the appeal of holidaying in a city...but it really does seem like the most amazing place, totally another world, and it is just wonderful how you are really exploring it and immersing yourself.
Loving the frequent updates, keep it up!

Your mom's hair looks great. I think you should totally go for some colour extensions, they are so much fun!! Good luck :)

Your mom is so beautiful.
And cool! (As are you, duh)
Jane, I always enjoy your blog, but I think these posts from Japan are my favorites ever, by far. You're really coming into your own with this -- I think you've found your calling.
PS... Get the extensions!!! It's just hair -- you can always change it!!
I LOVE your pictures from Japan. It's my dream to go to Japan so I'm living vicariously through all these pictures. You're colored extensions are bound to come out great! I've been wanting to get some for some time now. I can't wait to see how they look.
I was also wondering if you or your mother is able to speak Japanese. Do you ever get lost in translation?
PYTHON CLUTCH??? DO YOU REALLY WANT PETA TO THROW SOME PAINT ON YOU! RICH B*TCH!
first things first, simmer down, rebecca torsiello.
Now, i loooove what you're wearing, and those shoes are so amazing! I can't get enough of your documentation of the trip! I can just imagine how much luggage you two brought! keep em coming!! (wow apparently i'm going crazy with the excalamation points) Eagerly awaiting the results of your hair extensions :)
One of my favorite outfits, that patchwork is amazing. Cool salon, can't wait to see your extensions!
