Our story
The son of two hairdressers who built their family business on personal beauty, our founder Sena Kanai developed a deep appreciation of haircare from an early age. His parents’ meticulous approach to crafting their own products left a lasting impression, shaping his lifelong passion for haircare. In 2019, Sena moved to New York City, whereupon he encountered unexpected changes in his hair and scalp. Within weeks of using products purchased locally, his hair became coarser and more unruly, while his scalp grew significantly drier with each use. Frustrated by the lack of western products with high-quality ingredients, Sena was inspired to create his own.
Today, headquartered in New York City, MIREI LABO is on a mission to revolutionize American haircare through the meticulous craftsmanship and innovation of the Japanese tradition. By drawing upon Japan’s rich history of skincare and haircare research, MIREI LABO is dedicated to delivering the finest Japanese quality, helping customers achieve healthy, beautiful hair— and the confidence that comes with it.
Our Formula – Made in Kyoto, Japan
Our formulas are painstakingly created over months of research and testing, in collaboration with our institute in Kyoto. With attention to each and every detail, vigorous trials and evaluation ensure the creation of a product that ranks at the top of not only American haircare but in the Japanese marketplace as well. Our leading scientists combine the timeless wisdom of Japanese botanicals, such as our green tea and ume extracts, with cutting-edge, clinically proven ingredients like our collagen-based cleaning ingredient and Nano-repair complex. This unique blend is designed to be the best of tradition and innovation, nurturing both hair and scalp health.
Our Philosophy
From the moment we are born, we are taught that time is both precious and fleeting, with aging not merely inevitable, but expected. As such, we arm ourselves with different tools designed to help us age gracefully while preserving our beauty. Healthy hair is a reflection of youth and vitality, and it serves as a powerful expression of our individual identities. A cornerstone to our self-confidence, it profoundly influences our overall well-being and outlook on life, and requires deliberate and specialized care to maintain.
At MIREI LABO, we believe beautiful hair begins with a healthy scalp. Just as you care for your skin, so too should you nurture and protect your scalp. If your scalp is clean, balanced, and healthy, your hair will follow suit with vitality and strength. Our products are specially designed to provide a gentle yet thorough cleaning and rebalancing, ensuring that your scalp, hair, and skin can be at their best.
Our REJUVENESCENCE line is specifically tailored for those experiencing changes in their hair and scalp, whether due to age, dryness, or damage. With active ingredients that repair damaged hair, promote healthy growth, and restore softness and volume, REJUVENESCENCE is your ally in maintaining ageless, silky hair for years to come.
