Style Inspiration: ICHI by KIKU Salon

“ICHI”, the debut collection from KIKU Salon. Named after the Japanese word for “one,” ICHI marks our first creative expression — a bold meeting point between Scottish strength and Japanese refinement. This collection is a hybrid of cultures, techniques, and textures, rooted in our belief that beautiful hair begins with individuality. Each look in ICHI explores the elegance of natural texture, shaped with precision and intention. From structured silhouettes to softly undone forms, we’ve embraced the character of real hair to create styles that feel both effortless and elevated. Drawing on our international background and local perspective, ICHI reflects the spirit of KIKU: quietly powerful, creatively sharp, and always listening.
