Founded in 2012 with "color" as its core concept, the hair salon brand M-palace has celebrated a decade of success. The brand began with its original Guangfu store, later relocating to the Guoguan store. In 2016, M-palace opened its second branch, Leqing Store, and in 2021, despite the challenges of the pandemic, the brand expanded beyond Taipei to Taichung, inaugurating the Wenxin Store as its first location outside the city. M-palace weathered the impact of the pandemic on the hairdressing industry and proudly marked its 10th anniversary this year. This article explores how this "joyful, party-inspired fashion salon" has remained a steadfast icon in Taipei's East District, a hub of fashion and trends.

Secrets to running a salon in east district: Fashionable styling
In this palace, you will discover an unparalleled version of your beauty or charm.
M-palace brand founder: MIYAKE
The name M-palace combines the founder Miyake's name with "Palace," symbolizing the royal treatment every guest receives upon entering. Renowned for expertise in color and styling, Miyake explains that many clients come to M-palace for party-ready looks, in addition to essential services like dyeing and perming. "Fashion styling" is a cornerstone of M-palace, reflecting the salon's commitment to excellence. To thrive in the vibrant East District, where young crowds converge, hair transformations and styling must meet high standards to stay competitive. "Every guest steps into the salon with expectations," Miyake says. "Here, they will achieve unmatched beauty and charm—a brand-new version of themselves." Miyake hopes that every customer leaving this hairdressing palace does so having truly "achieved the look they desire."
M-palace business philosophy
As competition in the hairdressing market intensifies, price-cutting has become a common strategy. While low prices can attract a larger customer base, they reduce the rewards for stylists, making it difficult to provide clients with a warm and quality-driven service experience. Over time, this imbalance not only leaves stylists physically and mentally exhausted but also threatens the sustainability of the industry as a whole.
For Miyake, competing on price has never been her approach to running a salon. Instead, she prioritizes giving her team creative freedom and fostering a joyful salon atmosphere. "A client once said, 'Stylists at high-end salons are intimidating and overly serious, which makes me afraid to go.' This inspired me to create an environment where employees exude positivity, infecting clients with a sense of joy and breaking the stereotype that upscale salons must be formal and unwelcoming." In this palace, the sense of party and joy should not only be felt by the clients but by the entire team as well. Bringing everyone together in a shared spirit of happiness creates a true "joyful and party-inspired fashion salon."

Perhaps because Miyake holds a prominent position in the hairdressing industry, many young team members strive to follow in her footsteps, sometimes at the cost of losing their own unique styles. However, Miyake sees herself as a leader who values her employees' creative freedom. She hopes that every team member who comes to M-palace to learn can grow into a one-of-a-kind individual without feeling the need to imitate others or become someone’s replica. "Everyone has their own uniqueness, and here, you can express as much of your potential as you have," she says.
