RULER Japanese Hair Salon
RULER has been cutting hair for over a decade with a mix of Japanese and local stylists, and its Japanese top stylists charge a little more. Colour and bleach work are as big a part of the job as cutting.
Come here if
- You want a soft, low-maintenance Japanese-style cut
- You're after bold colour or bleach work
- You'd like a head spa with your cut
Maybe not if
- You're after the cheapest trim around

What people say
Careful, detailed work
Cuts are planned around how your hair falls on its own, so the layers still sit right on days you don't style them.
You get what you asked for
The cut follows your reference photo closely, and a fringe is measured with you before the first snip.
Patient, unhurried staff
Your stylist keeps checking in during a long perm or colour, and shy first-timers find the whole thing explained step by step.
The small extras
Tea and Japanese snacks come to your chair, and your bag goes in a locker.
Gentle enough to doze off
Adding the head spa to a cut turns the wash into a long, slow scalp massage.
The room
It's a small, quiet room with only a handful of chairs and space between them.
