柳内 幸子 | Sachiko Yagiuchi

I was born in Shizuoka and moved to Tokyo to attend beauty school with the dream of becoming a hairstylist. I trained at salons in Hiroo and Azabu-Juban, later managing an organic salon in Hayama before going independent as a freelance stylist — spending nearly 20 years in the beauty industry.

After moving to the Miura Peninsula, my perspective shifted. The fishing town I settled in had a unique atmosphere shaped by locals and newcomers working together to bring fresh energy. I found myself wanting to make the town — which would become my children’s hometown — more vibrant. This sparked my interest in community development. While working as a freelance hairstylist, I also studied space design.

Wanting to work in a field that connects Japanese culture with future generations while evolving it into something new, I decided to change my career path — and through various connections, I joined Staple.
