New Barber For the Neighborhood: The Family Hair Salon on Third and Bond

It’s Japanese Head Massage meets Scandinavian  Furniture Style at Fumi’s Hair Salon which opened at Third and Bond on  June 1. Hair Stylist Fumi Inoue, who worked at Salon De Quartier Smith for 8 years, felt it was time to go on her own and created a place where the local community could get great hair cuts and relax in a homey atmosphere.

With a dining table and cookies visible through the front window, some people mistake the salon for a café. “I don’t sell coffee,” laughs Fumi, “but I can give it to you.” She hopes her clients will find the space (which she designed herself ) inviting and that it will allow “people to meet people and talk to each other…and things will come up.”

Fumi believes that communicating with her clients and listening to what they have to say is very important to creating a great hair cut. “Of course I want to make people beautiful. A hair stylist is an artist, but also a collaborator,” she explained. “We are making art together.”

Using organic products and ammonia free color treatments from many different companies, Fumi already has a following on Yelp. “She really knows what she's doing, is talented and super sweet.,” wrote Nastasya F of Brooklyn. “She is economical and…helping me grow in my grey beautifully which no other hair colorist in the city has been capable of,” wrote Erin K.
