Indeed, the number of professionals beautifying hair in Shibuya and neighboring Minato-ku is staggering. There are 860 salons in Shibuya alone, which is one for every 230 residents, while Minato, with the next highest concentration, has 567 - or one for every 250 - odd people. Tokyo is studded with 16,000 shops that call themselves "hair make," as all stylists do make-up as well. And the salons in four of Tokyo's most fashionable wards outnumber all of downtown Los Angeles with 2500 and central London's 2600.
