Origin & Philosophy
十人十色
Ten people, ten colors.
The name Assort comes from assortment — a collection of distinct, high-quality elements. Picture a box of premium chocolates: each piece unique in flavor and shape, yet belonging together in perfect harmony.
This is the life motto of our founder, Ken Kobayashi. If there are ten people, there should be ten unique styles. We reject cookie-cutter trends. We celebrate your individuality.
Our Core Value
“We are all reading the same book,
just different chapters.”
That book is the love for beauty. Whether our stylists are in Amsterdam or Osaka, seasoned veterans or rising stars, we are united by a shared passion for the craft and a commitment to lifelong education.
