Talking about the new listing, Harrods’ Head of Beauty, Mia Collins, said: “Uka is a brand we spotted on one of our research trips to Japan.
“The brand’s ethos resonated with us and we are delighted to be launching them exclusively in the UK as part of our Hair & Beauty Salon edit, on the fifth floor.”
Uka, which means the hatching of a pupa into a butterfly, opened its first barbershop in Tokyo in 1947 under the current Chairperson’s grandfather, before developing into an all-round beauty salon in 1997.
In 2009 it launched its first product range, a collection of nail oils, and entered into the café business a year later.
Today, it has launched seven collections across hair and skin care.
