Takamichi Saeki for Nine Orchard

About

Takamichi Saeki was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. At 18 he packed his bags and moved to New York City.

A former gallery owner and an avid art lover, Takamichi's approach towards beauty has created a new standard through a ‘style meets precision’ Japanese sensibility.

He started out cutting hair in his own apartment and opened his first eponymous salon in 2000. Inspired by the unassuming, enduring and personable, Takamichi continues to expand his vision through Takamichi Beauty Room, fluidly blending the worlds of beauty and grooming.

The Work

While many hotel amenity brands, even prestigious ones, license their name and outsource production to make things quickly and cheaply, Takamichi features the original and clean European-made formulas from his namesake collection of shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, and body lotion infused with his signature green scent developed by Japan’s oldest fragrance house Takasago International Corporation.

This partnership allows hotel guests to experience Takamichi’s products in a highly curated setting that engages all the senses.
