Laser or waxing services around Tokyo?

I tried signing up at Musee but they wouldn't accept me because I can't speak fluent Japanese. Does anyone know any places that offer such services, even for foreigners who can't speak Japanese very well?

A good place to look for adverts with bilingual services is the Metropolis magazine. These companies below offer bilingual services. http://www.elanajade.com/ http://laplage-beauty.com/ http://nuajapan.com/

Wow, very disappointed to hear you were turned away because you don't speak fluent Japanese. Shocking really. I have heard good things about Elana Jade.

Personally used both Nua (Omotesando area) and Elena Jade (Azabu Juban) when I lived in Tokyo, both were very nice and professional. They're also both easy to access via public transport which is also handy.

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
