Takayuki Umeda is a New York-based hair artist working across editorial, fashion, beauty, and commercial projects.

 

Known for creating refined yet distinctive hair stories, his work balances structure, texture, and atmosphere while responding to the individuality of each subject. His approach ranges from clean and minimal to sculptural and expressive, always with a strong sensitivity to image-making as a whole.
