Mizutani's World Cut Jam - 100 Year Anniversary

Hold onto your hairdryers because I've got some seriously exciting news for you. Grab your combs and your sassiest styling cape because on November 6, 2023, Tokyo is about to become the ultimate hairstyle hotspot! Yep, you heard it right – it's the Mizutani Scissors Anniversary Event: World Cut Jam Art of Cutting Hair 2023. And trust me, it's not just your average hair hoedown – it's a jaw-dropping, shear-shaking extravaganza!

Unleash Your Inner Hair Nerd

Picture this: a powerhouse gathering of 15 mega-talented artists who've got more individuality than a rainbow has colors. These hair warriors are more than just stylists – they're world-changers, and they're descending upon Tokyo to prove it.

When & Where

Mark your calendars – November 6, 2023, the party kicks off from 12:00 to 19:00, but hey, early birds catch the curl, so doors are swinging open at 11:00. Make your hairdressing dreams come true at The Grand Hall in Shinagawa Grand Central Tower 3F. You'll be there faster than you can say "hair flip" – just a breezy 5-minute walk from Shinagawa Station Konan Exit.

Get Your VIP Seat (and Goodies!)

Now, let's talk about those seats. We're not talking about just any seats – we're talking about SS seats for the ultimate VIP treatment. And guess what? These come with a side of special goods that'll make your hairpins quiver. Next up, S seats perfect for the hair enthusiast who demands a primo view and a special goodie bag. General seats are up for grabs too, so nobody's left out! Prices range from ¥7,000 to ¥12,000, and remember, taxes are playing hard to get, so they're not included.

Exclusive Treat for Mizutani Product Owners

Now, hold onto your hairnets, because this is big. If you're a proud owner of a Mizutani product, you've got a golden ticket to the pre-sale party. Starting June 20th, the SS and S seats are yours for the taking. Keep your eyes glued to your email magazine for the scoop on how to snag your spot. It's like a secret code to hair paradise – don't miss out.
