How Long Does Your Hair Need to Be for Styling?
Let us explain with a clear example. This time, our studio owner—who is also a photographer—served as a model to show what kind of hair length can be used for the Oiran hairstyle.

At that time, the hair was still growing and had just reached a length long enough to tie in a small ponytail.
The side sections of hair (called “bin” in traditional Oiran hairstyles) were too short to create the classic shape.

A Stunning Oiran Hairstyle—Even with Short Hair!
When the side hair is too short, instead of forcing the traditional shape, we creatively add plenty of floral arrangements to maintain that luxurious, elegant feel.
By carefully constructing the base, we can achieve a high-quality Oiran style regardless of your hair length.
Yes, You Can Still Look Like an Oiran with Short Hair
At Studio Yairo, we tailor each hairstyle to suit your individual length and look.
By adjusting the volume and balance and making thoughtful use of floral ornaments and traditional hair accessories, we create a style that is both glamorous and refined.
Note that the Oiran hairstyle does carry some weight due to the base and decorations. We take great care to ensure it doesn’t cause discomfort, adjusting the style in consultation with each customer throughout the process.
