Brookline's funky Biyoshi Salon has thrived since opening in June 2000 despite its off-Newbury Street address. Biyoshi is a trendy, unique space sans attitude where you can get the latest in dry-cutting, coloring, and retexturizing.

Biyoshi is one of the American Cancer Society's largest wig banks, providing free wigs to cancer patients. Biyoshi Salon is proudly affiliated with Wigs for Kids, Look Good, Feel Better, The National Cosmetology Association, and The Salon Association.

Our philosophy is to take a pure and realistic approach to hair. We are trained in many techniques and employ a range of tools in the salon. The unique texture of your hair dictates how we will cut it. Biyoshi stylists, trained in the Sahag technique of dry-cutting, achieve a more precise way of styling. When the hair is cut dry, the true product is visible, and the cut can be awe-inspiring. "...And it's in carving new shapes that you find the unique shape that matches the soul--the cheekiness, the naughtiness." Sahag once said. Also, by utilizing different techniques and tools, like the razor, we create texture in the hair. The staff has been trained with American Crew, Toni & Guy (TIGI), L'Oreal, and others. And we are always seeking to learn more.
