Inside the sugary Harajuku salon dedicated to all things 'cute'

Tucked away on the 3rd floor on Takeshita Street, one of Tokyo's most famous pedestrian streets, Candye Syrup is a quirky hair salon specialising in rainbow hair colours. The Harajuku neighbourhood of Tokyo is known for its colourful street art, vintage shops and cosplay outlets and, most importantly - for being the centre of all things 'kawaii'. A popular Japanese concept, meaning 'cute' or 'adorable', 'kawaii' is a prominent part of Japanese culture, and is defined by a childlike appearance and mannerisms.
