HIROO, TOKYO
Tokyo’s Quietly International Neighborhood
Hiroo has long been home to an international community, with the German and French embassies just nearby. Diplomats, professionals, and families from around the world have made the neighborhood their own — and many women from this community have found their way to COLORS.
Hiroo, Just Around the Corner
From the familiar glow of Meidi-Ya to the international shelves of National Azabu, Hiroo makes global living feel effortless. Students from the International School of the Sacred Heart pass cafés, bakeries, and local Japanese shops on their way home — small scenes that have long shaped the neighborhood’s character.
Just steps from Starbucks Hiroo, turn into a narrow side street and the mood changes almost instantly. Tucked quietly away from the main road stands the modern Japanese house that COLORS calls home. Its patterned glass softens the light as it comes in, giving the rooms a gentle, unhurried glow.
This is the Hiroo that COLORS knows.
Here, embassies, international schools, global executives, and families from around the world are simply part of everyday life. Different languages can be heard naturally in cafés, shops, clinics, and along the street — not as something created for visitors, but as part of the neighborhood’s daily rhythm.
Hiroo is unmistakably upscale, but never showy. Leafy streets pass quiet residences, independent cafés, bakeries, international restaurants, and local Japanese shops. Nearby, Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park and National Azabu reflect the character of the area: international, residential, and comfortably connected to life in Japan.
Timber, Glass, and a Wall of Green
Beyond the patterned glass, timber beams run across the ceiling — a quiet nod to Japanese craftsmanship. Against this warm structure, an entire wall of living greenery creates a strikingly modern presence. It is an unexpected retreat — one you might never imagine finding in the heart of Hiroo, Tokyo.
Where Flying Was Still an Occasion
Something happens on the staircase to the second floor. The light softens, the street noise falls away, and by the top step you’ve slipped into an era when boarding a plane still felt like an event, not a routine.
A Room That Belongs Only to You
There’s no waiting area to cross, no shared space to pass through — the second floor opens straight off the entrance, and privacy is simply the default here. The door closes, the street goes quiet, and the next hour is yours alone.
Hands and Feet, Side by Side
Settle into the chair, let the footrest rise, and the manicure and pedicure happen at once — one technician at your hands, another at your feet. Just call ahead so both can be ready for you.
Salvaged from the Sky
Look closely inside the three rooms, and something unexpected turns up in the walls: actual aircraft panels, once flown by Aeroflot on the route between France and Moscow. The serial numbers are still stamped into the metal — not decoration, but proof. Every rivet here has crossed real skies.
The Airline That Refused to Fly Beige
In the 1960s, Braniff International painted its planes in bold, solid colors — orange, turquoise, ultramarine — and dressed its crews in Emilio Pucci. It was a strange, glorious idea — that color alone could turn a machine into something people fell for. It isn’t so different from what happens at a nail table: a shift in shade, and a look, a mood, an entire day changes with it.
Where Color Does the Work
That’s the whole idea in one line: color changes how you’re seen, and it changes how you feel. At COLORS, that isn’t a tagline — it’s the reason the salon exists.
Your BEAUTY, Our PASSION.
