So yesterday I mentioned that my mom had scheduled an appointment for a haircut at a funky hair salon. Thinking it would be an interesting experience to document, I packed my D3 and tagged along. I didn't know what to expect but my mom described the vibe of the salon as 'bohemian hippie grunge'. I dressed somewhat accordingly…
Vintage patchwork leather jacket, stripe tee from Urban Outiftters, Hysteric Glamour jeans, Martin Margiela clogs, Martin Margiela python clutch, vintage belt from my mom's old boutique, and my elephant necklace.
Upsy Daisy was tucked away in a semi-underground nook off of Omotesando, just a short distance from the Chanel and Martin Marigela boutiques.
The clientele there made for VERY intersting people watching! Loved this girl's short shorts with shearling cuffs and super-slashed tee.
They had a pretty fish tank outside the door.
Some of the extensions hanging on the walls-pretttttyyy, so much texture.
I think the little room in the back was a makeup station. I totally want to get my makeup done there!
My mom has told me that Japanese hair stylists cut your hair in a very different way than they do in the US so I was kind of curious to watch the process.
The end result!
Maybe it was the hair-dye fumes, but somehow when I was hanging out at Upsy Daisy, I got it in my mind that it would be a great idea to get some colorful extensions woven into my hair…I made the appointment for tomorrow afternoon.
I'll let you know how it goes!

Your mom looks so amazing and YOUNG! Her skin is so radiant and the haircut came out wonderfully.
I’m really enjoying your Tokyo reports. Is it some unwritten rule that everything in Japan seems to be 10x more brilliant than in the States?
Anyways, keep up the updates and photos because it is all pretty amazing to date…
colorful extensions…
colorful extensions?
your moms hair looks wonderful! what a fun experience. can’t wait to see how your extensions come out!

They totally cut hair differently in Japan… their techniques amazing. Whenever I visit I make sure to make an appointment with Yossi at Boy Salon in Daikanyama. My brother and I have been seeing him for the past 4 years now and we always walk out with the most amazing haircuts that grow out so beautifully. And they do color differently in Japan too… I wish I could go more often!
ps
Craziest thing ever: I have that same exact elephant necklace! I found it at a vintage store in Santa Fe, NM for like 2 bucks! I nearly screamed when I saw you wearing yours… I mean how often do you see a necklace like that? It’s such a crazy piece
Your outfit is so inspiring. You and your mom are both beautiful girls. Maybe I’ll visit that salon some time.

That salon looks crazy cool!! Your mom’s cut looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see your colorful hair extensions!
jane,
amazing photojournalism! I love all your hysteric glamour jeans- I’ve decided I need to order some for myself now! just wondering what size you got- I think we might be the same size and I’m not sure how Japanese sizes run.

Wow, so colourful and vibrant. I love the kind of high school art studio kitsch that the salon had it’s so unique. So exciting about the extensions…can’t wait to see how they turn out!
X Jay
I love how you mixed the patchwork and stripes together, but my favorite piece in your outfit has to be your shoes! -Noelle
Wow…your mom looks so fresh and young with that haircut! Can’t wait to see your colorful hair extension tomorrow.
http://stylescientist.blogspot.com/
oh gosh do it, do it, do it. And it can’t just be the hair dye fumes because even your photo of the wall of extensions made me want to join in the fun.
I like the pastel blue ones with other pastel shades in the fibres.
I thought it was kind of weird that you were going to Tokyo for such a long time…I’ve never understood the appeal of holidaying in a city…but it really does seem like the most amazing place, totally another world, and it is just wonderful how you are really exploring it and immersing yourself.
Loving the frequent updates, keep it up!

i’m excited to see the coloured extensions!
Colorful extensions? That sounds amazing! And I love that girl’s outfit outside the salon!
Your mom’s hair looks great. I think you should totally go for some colour extensions, they are so much fun!! Good luck :)
Ooh! Colourful extensions! How exciting! Can’t wait to see the results! Your mom’s haircut’s simple & fresh, love it! :)

Your mom is so beautiful.
And cool! (As are you, duh)
Jane, I always enjoy your blog, but I think these posts from Japan are my favorites ever, by far. You’re really coming into your own with this — I think you’ve found your calling.
PS… Get the extensions!!! It’s just hair — you can always change it!!
I LOVE your pictures from Japan. It’s my dream to go to Japan so I’m living vicariously through all these pictures. You’re colored extensions are bound to come out great! I’ve been wanting to get some for some time now. I can’t wait to see how they look.
I was also wondering if you or your mother is able to speak Japanese. Do you ever get lost in translation?
PYTHON CLUTCH??? DO YOU REALLY WANT PETA TO THROW SOME PAINT ON YOU! RICH B*TCH!
first things first, simmer down, rebecca torsiello.
Now, i loooove what you’re wearing, and those shoes are so amazing! I can’t get enough of your documentation of the trip! I can just imagine how much luggage you two brought! keep em coming!! (wow apparently i’m going crazy with the excalamation points) Eagerly awaiting the results of your hair extensions :)
One of my favorite outfits, that patchwork is amazing. Cool salon, can’t wait to see your extensions!

Lovely place! Adore your elephant necklace.

Does your mom speak Japanese? She seems to be really comfortable around Japanese people and know her way around the city.
Just curious.

I am sooo enjoying your Tokyo posts as I am an absolute Japan freak and have been to Japan twice so far (can’t wait to go back). I defintiely have to visit this salon the next time I’m in tokyo and get myself some of these amazing looking extensions. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out!
I’m glad you’re enjoying Tokyo!

The vintage jacket looks incredibly amazing with that fab clutch and all the other elements!
And that hair salon is definitely one place I’d like to visit soon.
Your mom’s hair looks great too!
Can’t wait to see your extensions! :-)
That leather jacket is fantastic! I would really want one simular to yours.
What a cool idea to go to a hairsalon in Tokyo. I would have never thought of that, but actually I think, doing things like that, really make you experience another culture. Doing daily things the real inhabitants do too. Then you will notice the real difference in culture, which is very interesting. Thank you for sharing this!
what an experience! I’m loving your ppic’s from tokio! isn’t your sister with u and ur mum? big kiss :)
I LOVE YOUR BLOOOOG! seriously, the best blog i’ve ever seen. it’s interesting, and you’ve got so many amazing shoes, clothes and accessories. i’m so jealous! :p loved that snakeskin clutch btw! it fitted nicely with the rest of the outfit ;)

You look like you are having such a fun time in Japan! I would love to visit there someday. My main question is HOW do you go sightseeing around in those shoes?! I mean, they are fantastic, awesome, amazing shoes, but I would be limping after a while. Do you keep flats in your bag?
So excited about your hair tomorrow!! loving all the japan posts so far..!!
I just read that you will be designing a collection for Urban Outfitters! That is very exciting and congradulations! Your blog is amazing and I can’t wait until I can own some of your original and inspiring creations.
such a colorful place…
your mom is real gorgeous…her hair is perfect.
I recently discovered your blog- you are so creative and great w/ words (and of course, fashion). Love the look you put together in this post- the geometric jacket with the striped top looks fab, and love the texture juxtaposition with the snakeskin clutch.

Jane – i was STOKED to see you in my email box today in “the cut” from New Yor Magazine and WWD. But READ THIS: “Holt Renfrew is the latest fashion player to catch social media fever. The Canadian department store chain is preparing a series of blogger-inspired window displays for nine stores, including the Toronto and Vancouver flagships. Due to be unveiled Friday, the windows will salute high-profile names in the fashion blogosphere, notably The Sartorialist’s Scott Schuman, Bryanboy, Tommy Ton (Jak & Jil) and 17-year-old Texan Jane Aldridge (Sea of Shoes).” -WWD
You are going to be a Canadian Mannequin? Do you know about this? Did they even ask to use your likeness, I hope they did…
your Mom smiles just like you! now i see the resemblance!
japanese are the best at cutting hair :)

I am so jealous of that necklace. Elephants are my favorite. I am curious how much luggage you guys take with on trips! You are always wearing something different. Love it.

I’m going to Japan during spring break! I really need a haircut. I want to get an asymmetrical cut. I wish I could check out that salon and see how good the stylists are. I can’t wait to see your end results! :D
I’m sort of curious about your latest posts…everything’s in English! Are you staying in a very touristy section of Tokyo, or what?
Asian hairsalons do really cut your hair differently. My family is Chinese, although I was born in Chicago. We go to new Chinatown in Queens a lot (I don’t know if you know this, but there’s Chinatown in downtown Manhattan, then there’s a newer version of a Chinese neighborhood that has sort of sprung up in Flushing, Queens). My parents like to buy certain Asian groceries there, especially pastries, and get haircuts. It’s a very different vibe, and so ridiculously cheap.
Will definitely be back to check out the new rainbow hair. :)
My favorite part of getting a Japanese haircut is the “full treatment” that comes with it! Head massage? Cup of tea? Oh, and amazing haircut? Don’t mind if I do!
I love your photos from japan, keep snapping away!
Love your blog! I’m relatively new to the site, so maybe you’ve discussed it before, but what did your mom do in Japan 20+ years ago? It sounds like she had the good fortune to live there for a while?
your mom is super freaking gorgeous! and those photos make me miss my hairstylin days!!
Miss Jane: how can you walk in does spectacular ysl shoes? I tried them today, and they were IMPOSSIBLE to walk in, too bad, they are perfection. kisses from Guadalajara,Mexico
So glad I found your blog! SO much fun to read…love your mom’s hair, I would have guessed she was your sister!
Hi Jane, look forward for your hair supprise. i love your outfit color code. The girl at the entrance with the super-slashed tee rocks :D As for the rest, they’re just normal. Thanks for sharing with us & do post more pics on the various places that you have visited. i’m sure that we are all very anxious & hungry for more :D Oh ya, do share with us what is your shopping items ya ;) Take care & have a good rest too!

so jealous, I want to go to Japan! awesome photies xx
Your mom’s hair looks great and young. My family just got back from Tokyo few days ago. :) Japanese salons are the best. I go to Japanese salon in the US, too. I only trust them, they have nice layering technique or dry hair cut. They’re the only one who can cut nice bangs. U should try ACQUA salon in Tokyo, they’re very famous. Have fun, drop by 109, Lotteria (for more affordable pieces), etc…I’m sure U know all these places. Sayonara.
Yeah Japanese stylist have their own way of styling hair, alot of other hairstylists in Asia try to emulate them quite alot, but it’s never as good as those in Japan. =D You mum’s hair looks great and you look very pretty! =)
wow I love your outfit it looks amazing and you look great in it too!
I want those hair extensions! They look SO COOL.
risky !
colored hair extensions .
can’t wait to see the result.
