"The New Yorker - Shin Tsudome"

Let everyone else talk about bringing Manhattan-quality haircare to Westcheter. Shin Tsudome did it in 1996 when he opened the Scarsdale branch of his East 47th Street salon. Born in Japan, Tsudome came to the U.S. in 1982 having aleady worked for 8 years as a stylist in Japan. Precision cutting was not invented by Vidal Sasson; the texture of Japanese hair makes precision cutting a necessity, not a style. Any errors or imperfections are instantly visible, which is why, Tsudome says, "Asian hair is the most difficult to cut." Tsudome's clients may not have any complaints about his precision cuts, but his many Westchester clients complained about "the driving and dropping off of thier kids at the babysitter and the difficulty parking" in order to see him in Manhattan. So I opened here seven years ago," he says. Now that's service. This article is from Westchester Magazine.
