SHIN / FOUNDER

Hair that feels
naturally yours.

Shin began his career in New York in 2002, later running his own salon in Manhattan. He opened BONDZSALON in Azabu-Juban in 2011. With 24 years of experience, he looks beyond the appointment to the way your hair fits your everyday life.

SIGNATURE

Softness
in every
strand.

For hair that changes with time,
a softer kind of straight.

Shin specializes in Organic Silky Straight for concerns such as frizz, waves and dryness, especially for women in their 40s and beyond. He also offers hair treatments and cuts tailored to your face shape, hair texture and lifestyle.

If you have bleached hair or have been turned away for straightening elsewhere, you are welcome to consult him first. He will assess your hair and treatment history before advising whether a service is suitable.

A NOTE FROM SHIN

The bond
behind
the name.

“BOND” speaks to the connections we make with people. The “Z” is my promise to carry those bonds all the way through.

Our name also remembers Bond Street in Manhattan, where my journey as a hairstylist began. I have always loved its distinct character. I want to bring out what makes each person unique, naturally, and build relationships that last well beyond one appointment.
