On March 12, Takafumi "Taka" Oiwa locked the doors to his studio for the final time. It was a bittersweet moment for the salon owner, who, 30 years prior, began his career in Laguna Beach as an apprentice to Joseph Huffstickler of Huffstickler Hair Design on the corner of Coast Highway and Calliope.
