I love this salon and it is always a good time and you walk out looking fabulous. Lisa has done my color for the last 2 years- she is amazing. I get blonde hi -lights and sometimes low-lights or color. I have tried a few different looks the last few years but my sister does her extensions with Lisa and they always look amazing as well.

The young apprentice with boundless energy has become a master of style whose imagination and individuality is expressed in each client’s experience at his salons. Leaving his native Istanbul for the U.S. in 1990, Nuri already had the concepts, elements and techniques of hair design well in hand. He opened his flagship Toka Salon in Washington, DC in 1997. Working with a varied clientele he has refined his distinctive approach to proportion, texture, color and form, moving beyond preconceptions and conventions to a style that suits who you are. To his trained designer’s eye no detail is too small: not in the modern palette of his salons dramatically setting off the serene absence of color against the intense excitement of its presence, nor in his disciplined manner of understanding your objectives and visualizing outcomes to create the hair concept most attuned to create the hair concept most attuned to you. From the abstract to the particular, bridging the fashion of the moment with a timeless sense of style is a hallmark of Nuri’s hair design. Whatever the combination of your distinctive features, and whether you’re in front of the camera or running the studio, meeting heads of state or being one, working the catwalk or chairing a business meeting, Nuri will find the connection between your particular way of being and your finished look. Nuri’s signature is style.

It was at that moment that he knew he had to redirect his adrenaline-seeking lifestyle and manifest it into a new passion. Eiji’s initial introduction to hairstyling came from world-renowned Japanese hairstylist, Michiko Masue, with whom he studied day and night for four and a half years before relocating to the United States. Upon arrival to the United States, Eiji did not know a word of English, until he met Sam Copell; Eiji trained with Copell for four years before leaving for New York City. It was in New York City that he was introduced to industry innovator, John Sahag, who immediately recognized Eiji’s innate skill set and took him under his wing. Within three months at John Sahag Workshop, Eiji built his own clientele while mastering the Sahag Dry Hair Cut Technique – a unique discipline in which hair is not merely cut, but sculpted into shapes to frame and enhance the face itself. Soon after, he was given a management position and trusted to run the salon in Sahag’s absence. While working at John Sahag Workshop, Eiji grew his portfolio working with legendary photographers such as Irving Penn for the Issey Miyake campaign, and Richard Avedon, among others. In the mid-nineties, Eiji opened his own salons in New York City. It was important to Eiji that the architecture and energy of his salons perfectly mimicked the creativity and energy of the Sahag dry cut. Over the past of 12 years Eiji has traveled to Japan becoming a renowned Dry Cut Technique educator with a hairstylist following in the thousands.
