What is Shu Uemura? The Ultimate Guide | Paul Edmonds London
Mr Shu Uemura has been revolutionising the hair and makeup industry for generations. As one of the few stockists of Shu Uemura hair care products, and the UK's first flagship salon in Battersea Power Station that uses Shu Uemura, Paul Edmonds are privileged to work with such a distinguished and luxurious hair and beauty brand. Our highly talented hair stylists have experience in working with the broad range of hair products Shu Uemura has to offer – each one leaves the hair feeling natural to touch, and doesn't feel cosmetic at all.
But what is Shu Uemura? And what makes it one of the best hair care brands in the world? From where you can buy Shu Uemura to how to pronounce the name correctly and which product works well for which hair type, our celebrity hairstylists will tell you everything you need to know about Shu Uemura Art of Hair.
What is Shu Uemura?
Shu Uemura is an international makeup and hair care brand run by Mr Shu Uemura, who was known for his innovation in the field of beauty. Every single product in the Shu Uemura range echoes their company philosophy – your hair hair is a canvas – once you have the base of the canvas in shape, you can create beautiful styles, cuts and long term colour goals.
His haircare range "The Art of Hair" was launched in 2007, and now holds itself in high regards among hair stylists as one of the best hair care brands in the world. It's available to purchase online, but there are few stockists based in the UK. At Paul Edmonds, you can not only purchase these products to use at home, – we are the only salon in Europe who offer Shu Uemura hair treatments, such as the Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ceremony.
Where is Shu Uemura From?
Shu Uemura Art of Hair is originally from Tokyo, Japan. Since its launch in 2007, it has developed into a global brand, with specialist salons and stockists providing the Shu Uemura experience to the general public across the world.
What makes Shu Uemura such a good hair product?
Shu Uemura is dedicated to creating an ecological and sustainable friendly product – from manufacturing to packaging. Their Ultimate Reset collection has won awards for using agricultural techniques free from artificial pesticides and environmentally damaging chemicals. Through innovation, Shu Uemura created a model of duck ecosystem in Japan, which fertilises the high quality rice ingredient used in their hair care products.
How Do You Pronounce Shu Uemura?
While it may look complicated, when sounded out, Shu Uemura is pronounced "Shoe-oo-eh-moor-ah".
Where Can You Buy Shu Uemura in the UK?
As mentioned before, there are few UK stockists of Shu Uemura Art of Hair. Paul Edmonds is lucky enough to be one of the few select suppliers in the UK, where we have some of his limited edition collections, as well as some of the more well-known products. You can purchase Shu Uemura products at our Battersea and Knightsbridge salons.
