Review:   When I first arrived here, I nearly left immediately. The lag was so bad I could hardly move my cam, let alone my avi, but I persevered and I'm glad I did. The hair here is really nice. It is mostly Japanese/Manga style and mostly for females from what I could see, though some of them were unisex. I really liked one of the demos that I tried on, but a lot of it was made of sculpty prims. This put me off because I hate seeing a big load of balls on someone’s head because their hair hasn’t rezzed properly. 

The hair is also very primmy. The demo was 254 prims, though about 10 prims of that was for the demo sign. I turned on my ARC (Avatar Rendering Cost - a special tool in the advanced menu that lets you see how much lag all your attachments are contributing to the sim) to see what my count was. It was 1290 (a moderate score typical of someone who has a full compliment of attachments on) and I had no prim clothes/shoes on.

Demos here are $1; hair is 300L for 3 colours (non flexi) and 100L per colour for flexi hair. The textures are really nice, and they come in 3 sizes.

From what I could tell while I was here, it seems like a popular store, when I arrived, there was only 1 other person, but within 10 mins about 10 other people arrived. There is a lucky chair that gives out free hair and a few freebies to the left of the entrance. At the back of the store I found some geisha hairstyles that look well made. The owner is Japanese and does a good job with her products.

If you like sculpty hair, then I recommend this place, the designs and quality are really good, but just beware of the lag.

Conclusion: Some interesting and unique hairstyles if you can get past the lag.
