Anna is an exceptional professional, combining skill and expertise with a warm and friendly personality. Her positivity is truly contagious, creating a delightful and relaxing experience. The service was flawless, and the atmosphere was uplifting and inviting. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-quality care and a fantastic vibe!

From open to close (and past that!) Miss Ligia took the time to genuinely take care of us. My mom and brother had been here before for haircuts so I thought I’d give this spot a try too, but for a bleaching service. I dyed my hair for the first time three years ago and decided to give it a go again. The reference pic I showed was a little closer to an eggplant color but I was still really glad she was able to get my hair from black to blonde to this red-violet in one appointment! It totally suits me! Very chill environment too. We got to share a taiyaki with Ligia, haha. They also validated our parking for the whole day, tysm guys🍇

I used to come here more often when the owner Kenta was in town but since his depart to Japan I just went somewhere else. I started coming back last month and my Japanese stylist (Saori) was great as well. But today mark the saddest of my hair (rip hair), i did not get a Japanese hair stylist by mistake. Sad face. Anyway see the photo yourself I can’t walk out like that… I mean I shd have paid more attention when making appointment so to make sure to get a Japanese staff (important!!) my stylist which im not gonna call out didn’t even know how to style my hair at the end of the cut. So sad and little angry. No one should walk in a Japanese salon expecting such outcome….. 🥲

The WORST hair cut ever!!!! 1. It cut very unevenly and have some weird curve all over sides 2. The front fringe is very weird and ugly cut which is thick like half amount of the hair. Don’t tell me this was a style. I had the trust at the store so I didn’t leave a lot of comments throughout the cutting process. But when they dried the hair. I realized how ugly it is and it’s been too late.

Loved my haircut I got from Eddie last week! I have very thick and long hair and he was able to cut it perfectly! Originally I came in and had a rough, general idea of what I want but I normally trust and leave it up to the hair stylist to see what they think best compliments my features. And I can happily say that it turned out even better than what I had imagined! Eddie was very careful with my hair and very gentle and professional with the entire process. He always checked in with the length and gave his professional opinion on what he thought complimented me. I am already excited to come back again in a couple for a touch up!


Dec 05, 2024

Loved the relaxed and designed atmosphere. Got a haircut with Saori and she really got the style I was going for 100% which is so rare! Will def be back, thank you

Justin is an amazing stylist !! He’s kind, stylish, and really listened to me about my hair. I loved talking to him about different styles and future hair goals. Really down to earth and friendly :)


Nov 05, 2024

Kenta is amazing for any cuts :)


Oct 05, 2024

Justin was amazing! He took his time and answered all my questions though roughly. Will be coming back to him!


Oct 05, 2024

Kenta works magic every time. His attention to detail and creativity make the results nothing short of extraordinary. Top-notch service and quality


Sep 05, 2024

Moved back and came here after 6 years. The salon expanded and the service is top notch. Have been going to Saori who listens internally to what needs, wants and feedback helps with my hair type. Highly rec!


Aug 05, 2024

Usually come here for a cut (sometimes a color). I don’t have a specific stylist I go to, but every one I’ve worked with has been friendly and experienced. They usually go more conservative first with the length/cut and then are receptive to feedback (e.g. more thinning, more natural layers)


Jul 05, 2024

Got a haircut with Chiharu and everything was amazing! The salon is so much bigger inside than it looked and the space was beautiful. She talked me through what I wanted and took her time with everything, which I really appreciated. Super happy with the shoulder length haircut and long layers, will come back!


Jul 05, 2024

I really didn’t like my haircut 😭 Staff is nice, and the service is nice. Just didn’t like the haircut and when I expressed this to my stylist she just said “it will grow back” 😢. My hair looks nothing like the reference pic. This was the first time I was disappointed with a haircut. For $85 I’m really disappointed.


Jul 05, 2024

Love this place. The front desk receptionist is nice and friendly. My hairstylist leaves me happy with my dye job and trim.


Jul 05, 2024

Really cute, aesthetic Japanese salon! Had my womens haircut with Kenta for $85 and i loved the layers and attention to detail :) The hair wash and head massage was also really nice.


May 05, 2024

Absolutely delighted with my cut and blow dry! Very clean location and the reclining chair is so much more comfortable than tilting your head back awkwardly!!


May 05, 2024

Chirahu did a great job cutting my short hair. Will recommend!


May 05, 2024

First time at this salon and had an excellent experience! I booked a haircut with Chiharu, she was so good and quick. I wanted long layers and curtain bangs and she delivered. The service also came with a shampoo and blowout, her shampooing and massage was divine, it relaxed me SO much that I was falling asleep during my haircut. I'm definitely coming back!


May 05, 2024

Loved it!

TL;DR HORRIBLE. Just look at the photos I uploaded of what I wanted vs what I got. Do not come here to get your hair colored in any way. Horrible experience, colorist (who I don't even know the name of because he didn't even introduce himself) told me "it is exactly like the photo you showed me." at the end of the service when it is in fact not ANYTHING like what I showed him. Keep reading below if you want the full recount of events. I showed him this photo of Miki's hair and he just said "ok." I tried to give more specifics like "I like that her hair is very ashy toned, cool toned, I HATE warm tones, NO warm tones." He didn't ask any follow up questions, just started applying dye all over my head. I had virgin asian hair before this. After the first dye it was red toned. I asked very softly "is this going to be this warm toned at the end?" and he said "this is actually very cool toned, it's the lighting of the salon." He then baby lighted/highlighted my hair, then proceeded to put more dye in my hair. End result was my hair is red/brown and all one color and absolutely nothing like I asked for. And guess what the charged me? $480 for this. I still tipped $50 because I felt bad and tried to convince myself that its just the lighting and itll look better in the sun. For that price level you'd think you'd get something flawless and not gaslit into thinking its just the lighting of the salon that you're about to cry in the chair in front of everyone because your hair is everything you didn't want. I called back to get this fixed immediately when I got home but given that he didn't even care to ask my what I wanted and then didn't even admit at the end that this is NOTHING like what I asked for I did not feel comfortable letting him touch my head again. I went back in person the next day and got a full refund for the $530 I paid. YOU'D THINK that would solve the problem but no. I am SO upset because now I have hair that I absolutely hate AND have to pay another stylist to tone for 3 months to get my original color back so I can actually get it to what I finally want. So overall I'll have to pay at least $300 over 3 months to get my original color stable enough to get these warm tones out so I can actually dye it to what I wanted (so it doesn't just get warm toned again after a few washes, because at least the other colorist can understand I hate warm tones). The only way I would not be insanely pissed with this place is if they reimbursed me for the money to get my hair back to what it was. I was genuinely nothing but SO nice and polite. I HATE making a scene in public and I even apologized for asking for a refund and thanked them profusely, but when I thought about how upset I was and having to look at my hair at work all day long I called their office again to try to get them to reimburse me in some way and they actually BLOCKED MY NUMBER. Had to dial *67 to even get through to the reception. Again, I was nothing but polite to them as I'm way too anxious to stand up for myself for these kinds of subjective things, but this is clearly objectively NOT what I asked for. The fact that you blocked my number and have damaged my hair and that I've cried the last 3 nights about my hair, and that I can't even dye it to the color I want without 3 months of color correcting and hundreds of extra dollars is why I am so upset with your salon. Roll the security tapes if anyone is doubting how nice I was to everyone there. I can't even express how upset I am with this place and I recommend absolutely NO ONE go here to get color.

Thank you 🙏

Best haircut of my life.


Apr 05, 2024

I’ll forever be grateful to this salon and couldn’t recommend them enough. I have a lot of fine, curly/frizzy hair that I was absolutely sick of so I came in for the Japanese hair straightening treatment and it was worth every penny. Not only was there 0 damage, but now that my hair is straight, combing/styling it is much easier and there’s less breakage/fallout. I was lucky enough to have Kenta work on my hair and he was incredibly careful, gentle, and professional. The salon itself is also beautiful, clean, organized and I haven’t come across any staff member that wasn’t absolutely polite and welcoming. I’ll never trust my hair with anyone else. Would highly recommend this place!

Chiharu is the best. I have “Asian hair” and thick and dense hair so I have had many bad experiences with inconsistency and bad cuts. But I’ve been coming to Chiharu for about 5 years now and I even followed her her from the previous salon. Give her a try and you won’t regret the cuts and the service.


Mar 05, 2024

Sadly not the best hair cut compared to the quality / skill you can expect back home in Asia / Japan..


Mar 05, 2024

This is by far the best salon experience I’ve ever had! I’ve been to many including ones in Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Boca Raton, FL and Miami. Kenta is a phenomenal stylist, and Crystal gave me the best Japanese head massage to die for! Totally came across this salon by accident while walking to grab coffee from Alfred’s next door. Everyone has outstanding manners and hold the door open for you when you leave! Their extraordinary service puts other hair salons to shame.


Feb 05, 2024

Always the best service. Nice and clean place. I love to come here for manicures and pedicures. Great work, they don’t rush you, one on one service. Feels like a spa 🤓

Anyone who appreciates beautiful hair (since beauty is in the eye of the beholder), then you would know looking for that one hairstylist (pays attention to detail and cares about your satisfaction so she constantly communicates with you to ensure they are getting you the hairstyle that you want) is a challenging task, especially when you've just moved to a new location. My girlfriend has been searching for 2 years, and finally, she has found the one! This place is clean and bright. The customer service is top notch and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality that they provide for you! Anyhow, this place is booked up pretty much all week so it's better to book for appointments in advance. I don't see any way to book appointments on their website, so I would suggest calling them. As for parking, there is a parking structure right beside the salon and you will be able to obtain parking validation for getting a haircut here! Overall, I would definitely recommend Nanana Parena if you want high quality service, great pricing and friendly customer service!


Feb 05, 2024

Exactly what I was looking for! The whole experience was great. From the location, decor of the saloon, staff, and specially the haircut. Highly recommend going with Chiharu, she is very nice and professional


Feb 05, 2024

I had Eddie as my stylist and he took such care and precision with my hair, including the cut and blow dry. He also walked me through how to style my curtain bangs and recommended hair oils. Really enjoyed my experience!

今までの人生で1番最悪な髪型になってしまいました。ゆるいパーマを胸元の長さでお願いしたのに、出来上がりはソバージュ?ハリーポッターのハグリッドかお笑い芸人の又吉みたいなチリチリパーマで、長さも鎖骨上でした。1週間経てば落ち着くといわれたパーマも1ヶ月経った今でもまだチリチリのままです。 量も重めでお願いしたのに調整のためなのか、かなり梳かれてしまいました。 おかけで予定していたマタニティフォトや、ベビーシャワー、すべての写真が最悪の写りです。 スタッフの方や内装はとても素敵だっただけに残念です。カウンセリングもちゃんとして頂いた上でこの仕上がりは本当に悲しいです。毎日鏡を見るたびに泣きたくなります。 毎日絶望しながら、チリチリに傷んだ髪が伸びるのを待っています。もう2度と行く事はないです。
