Terry is a master when it comes to his cutting technique. I've always had thick coarse hair that can get really heavy and shapeless. Terry has a way of cutting and thinning it out so that it lays smooth and creates a natural framing style for my face. It almost changes my texture as my hair has a tendency to fall into these beachy style waves, unless I blow dry it straight. Before those waves would be half straight/half wavy due to the weight of my hair. For my thick hair girls, I highly advise to try a Japanese hair cut once in your life and see if it has you coming back. Be sure to bring an inspirational photo to help show what you are looking for. The salon is located inside Ovation Salon off of Dallas PKwy (behind Sixty Vines). He plays very relaxing traditional Japanese ( I believe) music while he cuts. read more

Terry did a wonderful job with my haircut! I haven't gone to a salon in YEARS and after a lot of searching decided to go here. Prices were very reasonable in my opinion. I only got a cut and it was around $60. The place is very easy to find and he works in a little suite. I showed Terry my inspiration picture and he executed it perfectly! He did go a little shorter than I originally intended but I still loved the cut regardless. Was super gentle when washing my hair. We didn't really converse during my session but I didn't mind since I can tell he was concentrated on his work. Schedule ahead if you plan to see Terry since he gets booked out about a month or so in advance. If you ever need a good hair stylist that will execute your wishes, go see Terry! read more

Service: Hair Cut Quality: Amazing! Vibe: Chill Terry has amazing follow-up skills and makes sure you get to your appointment on time and even provides directions. He understood exactly what I wanted and delivered as closely as he could, taking into account my existing hair layers and type. Price is absolutely reasonable too! Would return. read more

Just to comment on the last (now removed after I reported it) review of the genius who thought she could walk into a salon suite unannounced and book an appt: that is not how anything works. This guy is a master stylist. His shampooing technique made me feel like the MILF in Edward Scissorhands with orange hair when she was getting a haircut. Amazing haircut and he was the first person to suggest avoiding cutting one part of my hair too short to avoid it getting an awful cowlick. 100% my new stylist. Completely worth the 2-3 month wait. Still amazed at how amazing of a job he did after. read more

I always look forward to my appointments with Terry! He's very skilled at cutting long hair and always does a beautiful job (plus, he's patient and incredibly nice). Easy to book online, as well. Highly recommend! read more

Terry is a master in hair cutting. I cannot believe his precision and details analyzing your hair texture, structure and giving his honest opinion which hair cut would suit you the best and still trying to incorporate your idea if a good hair cut. I came in asking him to cut almost like 2-3 inches of my hair length and since I have thick asian hair not to thin it out too much on the bottom. Because if done wrong I can look like a mushroom head too much volume on the top and too many layers on the bottom. Terry gave me the perfect shoulder length cut and I can't believe how he made my hair look so soft and straight without even using a hair straightener! He is very skilled this man! Just for the hair cut it took almost an hour. I wish he wouldn't be booked out so much in advance but that's how popular and good he is. His hair salon is inside Ovation Boutique (if you come here for the first time). He is really good about confirming you appointment before and the day of to make sure you don't forget! If you are lucky to get an appointment with him you are one lucky girl! Your hair will never look the same! read more

Terry is a miracle worker. He was able to transform my previously untouched black Asian hair to this beautiful ash color with such complexity in a matter of hours and all in one session for a fantastic price. He really knows what he's doing and is such a perfectionist. We didn't finish my hair until 10pm at night and he never rushed the process once, including blow drying and styling my hair at the end. I love my hair and have been getting so many compliments. His wife helps with the business and is lovely as well! I enjoyed spending time will them and will be sure to come back. This was the best hair experience I've had and I'm so impressed. I don't even live in Texas anymore and will plan to have my hair done here every time I'm back home to see my parents. Tip: He just opened his salon in February and is already starting to book up pretty fast. Be sure to schedule something a couple weeks in advance! Definitely worth the wait!! read more

Hey ladies, Do you want a better hair color and haircut ? Here's your invitation to embrace a different experience and you'll enjoy the best hair you've ever had. We recently moved here from the Midwest. I had the typical over processed brassed-out hair color and the no-style haircut. I was honored to meet the skilled master and owner of Hair Rhythm Japan Salon, Terry Kawashima. I decided not try another American style salon and try a new approach. Glad I did and feel so honored to know Terry and his wife Miki!! Here's what you need to know- 1. Once Terry touches your hair you will know you're with skilled professional. Just be quiet and sit down in his chair! He IS an actual Hair Therapist or a Hair Dr. You'll appreciate his gentle approach to your hair! 2. He accesses your hair with your skin tone and incorporates your natural coloring. Then works his magic to create the best version of you! 3. He provides a wet haircut and a dry haircut that will longer because it's cut properly with his years of training and skill. Terry's haircut has enhanced my hair texture. I'm still amazed and he cut my hair weeks ago The point of this post is to say if you want a better experience and great hair stop going to the same type of places and just meet Terry! Thank you Terry and Miki!!! I love my hair!! read more

The place is easy to find. Lots of parking available. He asked me to come 10 minutes before my appointment and I did. I got there and didn't have to wait. I told him what I wanted. He knew right away and got shampooed and conditioned. Then the cutting began. He's so detailed and focused. I've never been to any stylist like Terry. He did a great job with my long hair. He blow-dried and styled my hair and did some more little cuts here and there. All done in 1 hour! I've already made my next appointment. If you're looking for a great haircut don't hesitate. Trust me, I'm picky! Oh, and he's pretty booked out so I would book now. read more

So today I had the Japanese hair straightening done on my hair- let me say this Terry is amazing! His prices should be double what he's charging. It was a 4 hour process- more amazing was the cut I received after the treatment. I officially have the hair I've always wanted. It's just- there are no words. The skill attention to detail- I had my hair washed 3 times and every single time Terry remembered to dry my ear before sitting me up- this is the first stylist I've ever been to that put that much thought into every part of the salon experience! Ear caps when straightening my hair- and when putting the solution on my hair- such thought and detail. I drive over from Louisiana for this- I wish I had years ago- If you don't make the time or take the drive your missing something truly amazing. This man has a gift- read more

I have lots of hair and it is easy for a stylist to cut my hair and leave me looking like a mushroom because my hair wasn't thinned out properly in the right places. Terry is an artist- he instinctively knows what to cut and how much. He stays booked up about 4-6 weeks in advance. Well worth the wait and definitely worth the price. read more

Loved the cut I got! He's very experienced and meticulous. Great stylist who works with your facial shape.

I highly recommend Terry as your hairdresser! He is the only one who has cut my hair in the past 2 years, and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I always pre-book my haircuts months in advance since he is always so booked, and refuse to go to anyone else. Even though I might have to wait months, it is always worth it! The price is such a good deal compared to other salons that charge way more. I always send my friends and family to him. ありがとう ございます! read more

Maybe good for women, but don't recommend for men. My hair cut turned out pretty bad and grew to become worse.

I was looking for a new hairdresser and I found this salon, I made the appointment late last night for today. I am so happy I found this stylist, He is very skilled. And makes you feel welcome. I will definitely be coming back. I am glad I found him on Yelp. read more

I had my first appointment with Terry today. He is truly an artist and I am so thrilled with the results. When I booked the appointment, his wife Miki reached out to me right away to get more information on what I wanted and to make sure they had enough time blocked off for my appointment. I was wanting to brighten up my blonde and get advice from Terry about cutting my hair which is very fine and can be stringy. When I arrived, Terry evaluated my hair and made suggestions and I couldn't be happier with the results. His techniques are a little different than your typical US stylist but do not let this deter you - it's a great thing! Lastly, his prices are very fair and he is conscientious about cost to his client. Highly recommend! read more

Terry was great. He was patient, professional, and gave me a great haircut. My hair was so smooth and healthy after the haircut.
