I’m a hair and makeup artist based in Kyoto, working freelance across bridal, events, idol projects, fashion, film, theatre and advertising.

My signature style is fresh, soft makeup paired with airy, romantic hairstyles, each thoughtfully created with a little unexpected detail to make it uniquely yours.

I hold a Japanese national cosmetology licence, and I work in English and Japanese, including interpretation.
