Japanese businesswoman Kiyosa Kato was looking for a salon in Manila that would cater to her needs. However, since she couldn’t find anything, she decided to put up her own that carries her name.

After 10 years, Kiyosa — founded by Japanese businesswoman Kiyosa Kato — gets a makeover too. The renovated space in its Bonifacio Global City branch a more Japanese and minimalist aesthetic.
“We are the only Japanese salon in the country,” Kato proudly noted. “I want to teach salon owners and supply products to them. We fly in technicians from Japan.”
The unique part of Kiyosa is the Japanese technique in its services. The products that they sell are also imported from Japan — from coloring, gel, eyelash extension and glue.
Kiyosa plans to open more branches of her beauty salon next year. “I want to help the beauty industry to level-up,” she said.
At present, Kiyosa has three branches. There are two at BGC. Aside from the first branch at F1 Hotel, the other is at Mitsukoshi Mall and another in Makati.
