Sashar Hair is a Japanese hairdressing studio in Rolleston, Canterbury, run by Yasuyo Shoemaker, who trained in Japan in 2000 and has more than 20 years in the trade. She moved to New Zealand in 2005, ran a salon on Queen Street in Auckland for 13 years, and now works one-on-one in a private space at 6 Lady Isaac Drive. The website says she has styled more than 4,000 clients.
The studio offers cuts, colour and blonde work with Lakme products, highlights, toners, perms, and a nanoplasty smoothing treatment that the website describes as formaldehyde-free. Prices on the website are a guide only, as at 2026: a half head of colour starts at $190 for short hair, a full head at $220, a toner at $40 and a basic perm at $210 for short hair. Major makeovers add $5 to $10. A wedding package is also offered, and the site asks clients to get in touch for a personal quote.
