Bio

After 30 rewarding years at Vidal Sassoon, I now have my own studio minutes from the former location at Tysons Galleria. In this unhurried, private setting, filled with natural light, I bring timeless techniques to create precise, inventive, and individualized cuts that will complement your personal look, while respecting your natural hair growth and texture.

I started cutting hair at 90 Fifth Avenue, New York. At that time it was Sassoon’s downtown creative hub, led by the inspirational Cristiano Cora. The training was a demanding mix of technical rigor, artistic expression, and client communication. This expertise is what enables me to structure haircuts that give form to natural hair and bring out the self-expression each client is looking for. I quickly built an eclectic book of clients and became assistant salon manager to a colorful group of artists. It was a thrill to style models for New York Fashion Week and train at Sassoon in London. The number 5 in my brand name is a nod to Vidal’s iconic five-point cut of the 1960s.

In 2008 the manager of the McLean salon was moving away from the area, and the company asked me to take it on. I enjoyed building the team and a wonderful clientele in Virginia. During the pandemic I stepped back from management to focus on my art. When the Tysons Galleria location closed in September 2026, I decided it was time to get my own space. I’m so glad to be trusted to keep bringing happiness to people through something as personal as their hair.

I set my own schedule, so if you can’t find an appointment that works for you, please contact me or my assistant, and I’ll gladly find a time.

I have been going to Yoshiko for years and she is amazing. No one does a bob on my fine hair as well as she does. Yoshiko is meticulous in making sure my cut is perfect. Worth every penny.

Yoshiko is a hugely talented hairdresser. I can’t recommend her highly enough. The cut is perfect every time. After my last haircut I was randomly complemented twice before I got home!!

Yoshiko is a perfectionist! She knows just the right cut for my face shape and takes into account of my life style. Her cuts are easily managed. I have been a client of hers for years and will not let anyone else touch my hair!
