Fresh cut. I really should get cuts more often, I always feel so good afterwards — I’m just not big on going to the salon.
Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
Jean Snow is the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens May 12.

I got the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten when I was studying in Japan. I especially liked the fact that that barber would shave the hairs on the back of my neck with hot shaving cream and a straight razor.
I quite like when they wash my hair — it’s like getting a scalp massage.
How MySpace! But you should show more cleavage.
How dare you, my boobs are my own!
a friend of mine had this theory that a haircut was like a rebirth. so if you aren’t ready for the haircut you’ll end up disliking the cut. and if you are, i guess the world is your oyster.
I am a fan of 1000 yen haircuts. I have a point card for the place I go to.
You should dye you hair light brown, like
all japanese do.
Why EVERY japanese, has light brown hair ?
Any reason ?
