Federal Way · Since the early 1990s
Japanese thermo‑magic straightening.
A rare specialty from Katie and Mr. Ha, perfected over thirty years. Silky, natural, and built to last. Clients travel across the South Sound for a single appointment.
Why Moa
A craft most salons don't offer, done by people who have done it for decades.
Japanese Thermo-Magic
Our signature. A precise heat-and-cream straightening process that leaves hair silky, natural-looking, and frizz-free for six months or more.
Thirty Years of Practice
Katie and Mr. Ha have been perfecting this craft since the early 1990s. Muscle memory you can feel the moment you sit in the chair.
A Quiet, Careful Studio
One chair at a time, no overbooking. You get the stylist's full attention from consultation to the final blow-dry.
The Signature
Japanese Thermo-Magic Straightening
Also known as Yuko or thermal reconditioning, this is a specialized process that permanently restructures the hair's bonds using a precise combination of cream, heat, and flat-iron technique.
Done right, it leaves hair pin-straight and glass-smooth while still moving naturally. Done wrong, it damages hair for years. Very few stylists in the South Sound region have the training and patience to do it at this level.
A full appointment runs four to six hours depending on length and texture. Results last six months or longer, and new growth is the only thing that ever needs a touch-up.

Katie and Mr. Ha.
Mr. Ha
Senior Stylist & Straightening Specialist
Three decades behind the chair. The reason clients drive from Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia for a single appointment.
Katie
Owner & Lead Stylist
Katie runs Moa with the same quiet perfectionism her regulars have counted on for years. Trained in the Japanese straightening method and committed to the long-haul result, not the quick fix.
What Clients Say
Quiet reputation. Loud results.
“I've been coming here for Japanese straightening for over a decade. Nobody in the South Sound does it better. My hair looks natural, never flat, and it lasts.”
“Mr. Ha is an absolute artist. He took the time to understand my hair before he touched a single strand. Worth the drive from Seattle.”
“Thirty years in Federal Way and still the best-kept secret. Don't tell too many people.”
