Conveniently located in the Hiroo shopping street, the Hiroo Toni & Guy is a bright and busy salon, offering the latest in hair cuts and colours. Making an appointment is easy as the Reception staff speak English extremely well, but be careful when selecting your stylists as some speak English better than others.
