A Japanese Store Can Help Pluck Out Your White Hair For $48

We grow older every day, and we all know it.

It’s a fact of life, like how it’s a fact that money is wonderful. But past a certain age, we like to pretend that we’re not all slowly dying because we’re all liars. Remember #forever18?

So for those of you who like lying so much that you’d spend your wonderful money to keep doing it, we’ve got news for you.

White Hair

Many deny their true age by dyeing those white hairs as soon as they peek out, just like our fat boss, whom I think has the whitest hair of all.

If you want to know more about white hair, you can watch this video that we’ve done (yes, we were so bored, we did a video about white hair):

Not watching it? Okay, read on then.

Why mask a problem when you can just remove it entirely (and at its root, to boot)? Well, Shiraganuki Main Store in Tokyo has got you covered.

“Shiraganuki” translates into “white hair removal”, and for 3980 yen (around $48 in SGD) you get 30 minutes of pluck time, 7480 yen (about $91) for 60 minutes, and subsequently 2980 yen ($36) for every additional 10 minutes.

Maybe it’s a little expensive, but you pay for what you get.

And what you get is a specialist with tweezers who can pluck your white hairs at 3-7 hpm (hair per minute – yeah, there’s a term for that), or as they say 30-70 hairs per 10 minutes.

The variation depends on things like hair length and whether you’re the ass who puts styling products in your hair even after they encourage you not to since they don’t have hair washing services.

What’s more, the strands on the plucking radar don’t have to be completely white. You can define the types of hairs you want to be removed like partially greying strands.

Furthermore, the specialists record the number of hairs plucked using a phone, which is information you never knew you wanted.

Here are some gorgeous pictures of clumps of white hair if that’s your thing.

(For those who don’t read Japanese, neither do I. So here’s a Google translation, and I meant I literally Google translated it:)

“We got a message saying that there are few grey hairs, but we visited you and realised you have more grey hairs than you think. I got more than 300 in 60 minutes, but I still have it. # Gray hair“

(Another impeccable Google translation:)

“Today we went back to work on our customers ^ _ ^ We asked customers mainly for women ‘s customers to focus on areas behind which they are behind. I let out almost 300 pieces. # gray hair “

You get the gist; the service is great here.

Pain Levels

Apparently, many people are worried about their pain tolerance with “does it hurt” being one of the most common questions.

Shiraganuki Main Store states, “It depends on the person. Most people voice that it doesn’t hurt, but you won’t know until you try. Don’t worry because we will stop partway through if it hurts too much.”

Look, it’ll hurt as much as it hurts to pluck the hair. Have you never accidentally yanked out your tresses?

But nevertheless, I repeat, service is great here.

If we’ve managed to convince you to book an appointment, you’re in luck. First-timers get 1,000 yen off, so you’ll only need to pay 2,980 yen (about $36) for the first 30 minutes. What a deal!

So if you’re on the way to Japan anytime soon, you might want to give this a shot.

Remember, if you don’t think you have grey hairs, they might just pluck out 300 strands to prove you wrong.

Does plucking one white hair leads to three white hair?

If you’ve watched our video, you’ll know that it’s a myth.

In fact, you’d have known that you shouldn’t even do it in the first place.

So here are the lessons:

  1. Watch our video whenever you’re free
  2. Subscribe to our YouTube channel
  3. Don’t pluck your white hair

You’re welcome.
