Haru

About

Among Shikoku's local businesss, HARU is a hairdresser based in Japan, and first-time visitors should expect a straightforward salon serving the island's residents and travellers alike. The business carries a 4.2 out of 5 average across 1075 reviews, a figure that reflects steady custom rather than passing trade. That volume of feedback places HARU among the more reviewed hairdressers on Shikoku.

Reaching the salon from the island's main towns is practical, since Matsuyama, Takamatsu, Kochi and Tokushima all sit within the same network of roads and rail lines that crisscross Shikoku. Ferries, bridges and domestic flights connect Japan's islands, so arriving from the mainland or hopping between islands is manageable. HARU itself is found in Japan, with the address listed simply as Japan, and two photos give a preview of the premises before a first appointment.

Shikoku's year divides into four distinct seasons, with July and August bringing heat and humidity while winter stays mild on the southern islands. Japanese is the everyday language, so a few phrases help with booking and consultations. Meals on the island often centre on fresh seafood, local rice and regional specialities, which makes a salon visit easy to pair with a day of eating locally.

Matsuyama, Takamatsu, Kochi, Tokushima, Dogo Onsen, Naruto, Uwajima and Shimanto are among the nearby places that frame a visit, and Dogo Onsen in particular sits close enough to combine with a trip to the salon. Travellers moving between these towns by ferry, bridge or domestic flight will find HARU a convenient stop on a wider tour of Shikoku.
