Get Healthy Hair With an Ultra-Relaxing Head Spa in Tokyo

Get to the root of your hair problems—literally! Spin Hair Works offers a traditional head spa that addresses issues where they begin: the scalp. Stylists pamper locks from root to tip to combat fine and thinning hair. And coupled with an extensive head and shoulder massage, you’ll look and feel like royalty! American pop music played as our model Angelina entered Spin Hair Works. Right away, licensed head therapist Hayasaka brought her to a private room. Angelina wanted to have a head spa. She was troubled with thin, fine hair. And on top of that, it had no volume. Cleansing the Scalp – Head Spa Session 1. After checking her hair and scalp, Hayasaka concluded her locks needed some serious R&R. Spin Hair Works, a specialist in hair services, has a rejuvenating head spa showcasing haircare products by leading head spa brand ESTESSiMO. With a philosophy of holistic beauty in haircare, ESTESSiMO restores hair health by addressing issues from the scalp. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and if the skin on your head is unhealthy, then your hair will suffer. ESTESSiMO was the first to establish such a wholesome and health-focused head spa practice in the Japanese hair industry. Spin Hair Works have holistic beauty specialists trained in ESTESSiMO’s system to revive and repair your hair. The first step in ESTESSiMO’s head spa system is to assess the client’s scalp health. A healthy scalp has a neutral undertone. So, while looking at the skin, a stylist will check for redness, inflammation, and any other signs of irritation. An irritated scalp can be caused by a multitude of culprits: product buildup (including that from shampoo and conditioner), hair dye, chemical processes, dry skin, or excessive oil production. The head spa then cleanses the clogged pores of this debris and moisturizes the scalp. A Carbonated Water Rinse – Head Spa Session 2. Hayasaka brought Angelina to the wash station to begin the head spa. On wet hair, he applied ESTESSiMO’s Gentle Reset Scalp Cleansing Gel. Massaged into the scalp, the product loosens dirt and oils built up by the hair root and conditions the skin. Once the gel was worked in, Hayasaka gave the model’s hair a refreshing wash with carbonated mineral water. Deep-Cleansing – Head Spa Session 3. Next, the stylist applied ESTESSiMO Meline Shampoo. Lathering into a dense bubbly froth, the cleanser removes dirt while releasing an alluring scent of jasmine, rosemary, and sandalwood—perfect for a sophisticated client. Following the shampoo, Hayasaka applied Meline Treatment. For those who need more volume, this conditioner softens the hair without weighing it down. Head Massage and Repair Mask – Head Spa Session 4. After the client’s scalp and hair were thoroughly cleansed, the stylist moved on to a head massage. Spin’s massage dispels the throbbing headaches caused by eye strain and the sore neck pains from poor posture. Hayasaka applied ESTISSiMO Lamella Mask to the hair. Named after the layers that make up the hair’s cuticle, the mask uses highly advanced lamellar technology that targets damaged hair. The active ingredients then bind and smooth the cuticle for shiny, healthy hair. While letting the mask set, the stylist began applying gentle pressure by the hairline. He moved from the temples, to the ears, and back to the neck to release all the built-up tension. Expertly kneading the scalp, he worked to release all of the client’s built-up tension. After about 25 minutes, Hayasaka finished the massage and brought over a big machine. When he turned it on, steam filled the air. The stylist then started steaming the client’s hair. He explained that this step was important to open the hair follicles and allow the mask to fully penetrate. Steaming the hair also helps improve its health and shine. Experiencing Luxury Service Stylist Hayasaka rinsed the hair once more and brought Angelina back to the private room. Blotting the hair dry, he sprayed scalp essence onto the client’s head. This would further help to add volume to her hair. As he let it set, he massaged Angelina’s neck and shoulders. With the massage completed, the head spa was done. Hayasaka dried and styled Angelina’s hair. With his work done, the client looked in the mirror. She was glowing, ecstatic for her now-healthy and voluminous hair. Who This Package is Perfect For Considering this package? This holistic head spa is perfect if you have thin, weak, or chemically processed hair. This reparative treatment detoxes your scalp of any buildup and irritation to help promote healthy, voluminous hair growth. And complete with an intensive head and shoulder massage, this head spa is a must if you’re stressed. Book with a Spin Hair Works stylist today!

Take two precious hours to immerse yourself in the expert care of WALAN’s highly trained stylists for an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind relaxation experience. Two-hour package from entry to exit for total bliss. After wrapping up their business in Tokyo, two businesswomen from New York arrived at the door of WALAN. Greeted by an adorable Manekineko and the gracious hospitality of the WALAN staff, they were welcomed with a refreshing ice-cold Japanese tea and a cooling towel to ease the Tokyo humidity, setting the perfect tone for their much-needed relaxation. After being introduced to the Premium service, guests are escorted to a private changing room equipped with personal lockers. Here, they can change into a traditional Yukata.

After the head shower, stylists treated guests to a gentle and meticulous hair wash using their signature shampoo, “SCALÉA 369” This aloe vera-based scalp care formula is suitable for all hair types and even doubles as a body wash. The soothing citrus scent not only cleanses away dirt but also calms the mind, leaving guests feeling refreshed and serenely ready for rest. Signature Experience: Indulge in a Calming Brain Spa Massage The centerpiece of the course, the brain spa, unfolds with stylists wrapping guests’ heads gently in their nurturing hands, reminiscent of a mother’s tender touch. This unique approach delivers an unparalleled, deeply relaxing experience that feels entirely transformative. After the brain spa, a nourishing treatment is applied to guests’ hair, complemented by a soothing scalp massage. This thoughtful combination revitalizes not only their hair but also their mind, leaving them in a state of serene tranquility. The session on the bed concludes with a serene ‘sleeping shower’—a gentle head rinse that softly awakens you, leaving you refreshed and ready to embrace the day ahead. Omotenashi Elegance: A Journey of Brain Spa Relaxation After the head spa session, the stylists skillfully dried the guests’ hair, bringing out their natural beauty with a soft, polished finish. The experience left guests deeply content, not only with the soothing journey but also with the revitalized smoothness of their hair. But the indulgence didn’t end there. Guests were then guided to a serene tatami room, where steaming Japanese green tea awaited them. In this tranquil setting, moments of relaxation were captured by the attentive staff, with photos presented as a heartfelt keepsake to conclude the unforgettable experience. The guests emerged entirely fulfilled after their two-hour journey of exquisite Omotenashi. Every moment, from the attentive care to the serene touches, reflected Japan’s signature art of hospitality, leaving them with lasting contentment and relaxation. The Premium Brain Relax Spa is designed to accommodate all hair types, making it an ideal retreat for anyone seeking refreshment during a busy travel schedule.

Tokyo Premium Head Spa System to Anti-age and Revitalise Your Scalp

Natura has been featured many times in magazines and on TV. Several celebrities have vouched for them, and have nothing but positive gasps of delight at the results. The locals have also been coming back for more as soon as Natura’s honey pack’s gooey enchantment spread across the neighborhood. Choosing the Right Essential Oils for Your Hair Sinking into a plush chair, I was offered a cool drink (a non-alcoholic one. Frowny face) and asked to choose an essential oil from out of four – lavender, peppermint, rosemary and bergamot. Once selected, my “Curist”, Ms. M, led me to a comfortable Yume (to dream) reclining chair and gently washed and pat-dried my hair, getting all the city dirt and grime out. Ms. M proudly holding her “curist” diploma. Guided back to the plush chair, Ms. M blended bergamot oil with some argan oil to make a fragrant concoction for a much-needed twenty-minute head massage. The oils in the massage help to rehydrate and cleanse the scalp of any undesirables. A “curist” is a new Japanese word coined for a specialist in handling the head cure treatment. The knowledge and skill one must acquire in order to be qualified is extensive. The honey packs in all their glory. You have two options – honey with brown sugar (which is most effective for white hair), and the other, honey with a minty twist. Aging Care and Revitalization of Scalp & Hair The main effect of the head cure is “aging care and revitalization of scalp and hair”. It heals dry and oily scalps just the same and increases the quality of your hair drastically. By stimulating the pressure points on your scalp, temples, and neck, you’ll start to feel relaxed and at the end, rejuvenated. One of the key techniques is something called “push and roll” – push on the pressure points for three to five seconds then roll out the stress, getting the knots out of your system. It also improves headaches such as white hair, hair loss, dandruff, and dryness. In addition, it’ll prompt better blood circulation causing fatigue lines to disappear and boost skin complexion. Definitely, something to queue for. The push and roll technique. The Honey Hair Pack and Sparking Water Shower The beach theme extended into the “shampoo room” as well, leaving me wanting a cocktail all the more. Beach scenes projected onto the big blank wall, giving it a cozy, and yet spacious, feel at the same time. The honey pack (plus a ten-minute head massage and later, a hot steam towel wrapped around your head) was pure delight! I’ll let the photograph below do all the convincing. It really was a treat – a lush and luxurious treat. I chose the “honey with a minty twist” hair pack. The sparkling water shower was a cascade of warm bubbles caressing and repairing. All the minerals in the water being absorbed by the pores and split-ends like a thirsty beast. A sparkling water shower is a luxury you cannot afford to refuse. It was the best of goodbyes. I was spoiled to bits – a trim, blow-drying, brushing, a hot iron and a head full of curls, sprayed with a glossy finish. It was my shot at feeling like a celebrity thanks to Natura and all their lovely stylists! And special thanks to my “curist”, Ms. M. “Thank you!” Look at that glossy finish!

Great Deal for Japanese Digital Perm So what exactly is a digital perm? Created and perfected in Japan, the digital perm uses heat to give the hair its shape memory and it also strengthens the condition of the hair. It gives hair a 3-D effect with flexible waves and curls, without making the hair stiff or dull – and its effects are extremely long-lasting. Let’s see the process for ourselves on our first hair model. Digital perm chemicals being applied to the hair Our first model wanted to shake up her very long and somewhat lifeless tresses with some bouncy curls as well as a boost of shine. After a detailed hair analysis by the stylist, it was decided that the digital perm would be the perfect treatment for what she wanted, and he proceeded to prep her hair for the treatment. First, the chemicals were carefully applied to her hair and given time to set. The stylist then did a ‘test curl’ to check how the hair was reacting to the perm process, and to ensure that there would be no hair damage. The stylist does a test curl to check the condition of the hair After a gentle shampoo and thorough rinse, the hair was cut to accommodate the best shape of the curls, then rolled in plastic curlers.Using a special heat-emitting machine, the hair was then heated to activate the curling effects of the digital perm. We were all surprised at this unique process! Unique heat-emitting machine: a surprise for us all! Our hair model amused at her ‘Marie-Antoinette’ look Once the rollers were taken out, her hair was rinsed and treated with a deep conditioner; then it was time for the style and finish. With expert blow drying and finger-curling techniques by the stylist, the digital perm was completed and left our hair model looking gorgeous with her new look. New York Style Hair Color with Highlights Our next beautiful model is a young Asian-American woman with previously-bleached hair. She came hoping that she could have a fun look without damaging her hair further, and her stylist did everything possible to deliver. The stylist took special care to only apply bleach to her virgin hair, including avoiding folding the foil to keep the application precise. After washing out the bleach, the stylist created the perfect shade of purple to match the photograph our model brought in. After applying the dye to the bleached ends, the end color is an amazing dip-dye/gradation of bright purple! Both our hair models felt completely relaxed knowing that they were being given 5-star service by Hayato’s hair experts – and wouldn’t hesitate going back for another change in their look.

The Best Blond Highlights Or Balayage With a Revolutionary Color Treatment in Tokyo

Although it may seem a difficult decision to change your hair color when you have damaged hair, a Wellaplex treatment allows you to change your look and repair past damage at the same time. Perfect for an on the go lifestyle, it will keep you looking your best with hair that has extra volume and shine. Styling your hair in the morning will be a breeze! Never be Afraid of Damaged Hair Again When you have hair that has been colored, it may seem impossible to go any lighter or to not be wary of bleach. Our model, Chrissy, is very low maintenance and prefers just a quick brush through or ponytail. She had experimented on her hair color with friends in the past and so was concerned about more damage to her hair, leaving it lifeless and dull. Hiro, Sin Den’s salon manager who specializes in hair textures, knew that the solution would be a luxurious Wellaplex treatment with half head of highlights. Wellaplex with Highlights to Protect & Strengthen Your Hair! Wellaplex is a formula designed by Wella Professionals to strengthen your hair as you bleach and color it. It provides protection from chemicals and heat and eliminates damage, leaving you with shiny hair that feels amazing. The half head of highlight skill demonstrated is much less intense than most other coloring treatments, allowing you to enjoy highlights regularly. In this example, Hiro uses a weaving technique throughout the top half of Chrissy’s head. The goal is to blend in the dark roots with her previously processed hair without having to apply bleach to her full head as a full set of highlights would require. Hiro also lightens up the lower hairline so that when Chrissy wears a ponytail, the lower half that’s seen mimics a full head treatment. This technique and the Wellaplex application allows anyone to enjoy a consistent set of highlights. Applied first during this process, Wellaplex affords protection and revitalizes those areas exposed to bleach, leaving Chrissy with beautiful and flawless hair. Goodbye Dark Roots, Hello New Pink Blonde! After highlights, weaving and a wash out followed. In step two, Wella’s deep intense hair treatment was applied to minimize her hair damage. Hiro then carefully selected the best match of hair toner for Chrissy to subdue a hint of purple hair color that was found after bleaching. As Hiro was unsure of Chrissy’s hair color history, the results were not entirely predictable, but it never changed the unwavering confidence that he gained from his invaluable experience overseas. A warm ash brown and cool pink were then applied to eliminate any color difference between the newly bleached part and the previously processed hair. After the color was set, a relaxing head massage was followed by a final Wellaplex hair treatment applied to seal in protection, nutrients and the new color. An Ultimate Blowout Technique The Final step of this process complete with a blowout. What makes a Sin Den blowout special is that a Wella Top Artist comes into the salon every year to update on each of the stylists the latest techniques. Sin Den salon has many requests for traditional blow-dry technique from international customers and always use a round brush for the blowout. Besides, Hiro specializes in foreign hair textures, so you know your hair is safe under the blow dryer with him. The sleek volume of a blow out gives Chrissy a beautiful face-framing effect and completes the look. If you have damaged hair but wish your hair to be fresh and flawless, consider trying half head highlights and a Wellaplex treatment. As having a full head of highlights every time will result in damage to your hair, choosing a half highlight Wellaplex treatment that targets the visible areas of your hair in need of repair, you will achieve the flawless look you desire while repairing your damaged hair. This treatment will let you regularly enjoy the highlights you love without any of the complications. Wellaplex Pink Blonde Highlights

Additionally, there are medicated options for dryness and dandruff, as well as volumizing types for those concerned about hair thickness. This salon is ideal for those who are worried about their hair quality or who lack home care. Advanced Scalp Analysis and Tailored Hair Treatments The model for the day had normal hair texture with no noticeable waves and medium to high damage, classifying them as Type F. To achieve the desired light and hydrated look, Shampoo No. 3 and Treatment No. 5 were used. Counseling and treatments are performed by professionals who have been using these shampoos and treatments for over a year and a half, and they will work with you sincerely to help you get closer to your ideal hair. This salon is equipped with a high-performance microscope, capable of clearly capturing even clothing fibers. It allows for a detailed examination of the scalp’s condition, helping to identify concerns that may have gone unnoticed before. Experience the Deep Cleansing & Relaxation of Marbb Here is another key feature of Sulir Hair and Nail Design. The salon uses a device called marbb, which mixes air with water at the nano level to generate microbubbles. Microbubbles are 1/2000 the size of carbonic acid bubbles, and can remove dirt from pores that cannot be removed with fingers. Adding this to water has various effects on healthy and beautiful hair. Following the consultation, the stylist will perform a head spa. First, it uses marbb to carefully remove dirt from your scalp. This feels like a jacuzzi and has a massage effect.The benefits of using marbb include:①Removes sebum buildup and shampoo residue that regular shampooing may leave behind.②Does not overhydrate the hair, allowing space for treatment agents to penetrate more effectively.③Reports suggest it can reduce drying time by up to 35%, allowing more time for customer service.④Less exposure to heat from the dryer helps minimize hair damage. Since only a few salons offer marbb, this is a great place to experience its effects. Next, she lathers the shampoo in her palms and massages it into the shampoo. The shampoo and treatments contain aromas, and the treatment you receive while surrounded by this scent will make you feel as if you are in heaven. You can also enjoy bubble packs here. When you put the bubbles created in your shampoo on your hair, the sound of the bubbles breaking makes you feel as if you’re under the sea, and you can truly relax. Marbb is also used to remove shampoo. Stylists affirm that this treatment enhances the results of future coloring and perms. A Luxurious Treatment Journey for Healthy, Shiny Hair Before applying the treatment, a nano mist is used to open the scalp’s pores, significantly enhancing the treatment’s absorption. Next, a cleansing gel is applied to the scalp, followed by a full-hand massage. Then, the treatment is finally applied. After allowing it to penetrate, combing is performed. At this salon, the treatment is dissolved in warm water and poured over the hair with a cup, ensuring even distribution to each strand. The sound of the water being poured is also incredibly soothing. The drying process after the treatment consists of three steps. First, the hair is combed, then a liquid known as “hair lotion” is applied, and finally, the hair is dried. There are two types of hair lotion: a standard type and a volumizing type. Additionally, a “hair serum” may be used, depending on the desired finish. One noticeable effect of the marbb system can already be felt at this stage—the hair dries significantly faster. Marbb has a hydrophobic effect, which prevents excess water from dripping compared to regular water. As the treatment nears its final stage, a head massage is performed. The stylist carefully massages the scalp down to the décolletage, helping to relax the scalp and relieve tension in the neck and shoulders. Finally, the hair is styled. There are six types of oil to choose from, and despite only using a blow and dry without a hair iron the hair achieves an incredible shine. This is truly remarkable. Additionally, all the hair care products used in this salon are salon-exclusive, attracting customers who specifically seek them out.

The Latest Japanese Hair Straightening and Smoothing Treatment in Tokyo

If you’ve always dreamed of naturally smooth straight hair and controlled volume without the frizz, the newest Japanese hair straightening treatment Straight-Cure is made for you. This treatment is similar to keratin treatment but performed faster and the effect lasts for 2 months. Using a much lower concentration of chemicals compared to traditional Japanese straight perms, Straight-Cure does not only straighten out your hair with minimal damage, but also improves texture and controls fizziness – leaving your hair smooth and shiny with the freedom to continue exploring hairstyles. “I can’t believe how quick the treatment was! My hair normally takes hours to be done with a traditional Japanese straightening perm. My hair now looks shiny, straight and so soft. I am very satisfied!” declares our model Annie at the end of her Straight-Cure hair treatment session at Hope Salon in Shibuya. The Natural Straight Hair You Have Always Dreamed Of In Tokyo, only a few salons offer the natural permanent Straight-Cure service and Hope hair salon is one of them. Owners Koki and Yuta propose to their clients the latest and much quicker Japanese straightening technique on the market: Straight – Cure, an innovative method combining Japanese straight perm and hair treatment leaving your hair smoothly straight without damages. At Hope Salon, the appointment always starts with a consultation where we learn our model Annie hasn’t been to the hairdresser for the past six months. Her hair is damaged and frizzy inside out. Annie’s thick and naturally wavy hair type is difficult to maintain and full of volume,a tough situation in Japan where humidity reaches 100%. This is why she decided to go for the Japanese Straight-Cure treatment experience, as the natural perm will leave her hair straight and smooth without diminishing hair quality. After assessing her hair condition and before starting the straightening process, Hope owner’s Koki suggests Annie cut away part of her damaged hair. While it is sometimes difficult for clients to agree to have their hair cut, Annie decides to trust her top hairstylist and chop off all the damaged hair. Her hair will be much shorter but also much healthier. You can add haircut + ¥6,000 + tax Annie’s hair session starts with a big chop and a shampoo given by Hope’s top hairdresser Koki. At the same time Yuta, Hope’s English-speaking owner prepares the Straight-Cure treatment by mixing one packet of Straight-Cure and one packet of hair treatment. The Straight-Cure treatment is applied methodically on our model’s head. Koki and Yuta separate Annie’s hair into very small parts and apply the product with a brush, a thorough application to ensure a flawless result. The Straight-Cure technique is composed of two main steps. First, hairstylists use the hot hair iron set at a low temperature to compress the premium protein treatment into the hair. Once all hair is straightened, a CMC (cell membrane complex) treatment cream is then applied to seal the hair’s new straight consistency. This ensures a straight and smooth texture. In order to protect Annie’s hair from damages, the treatment is left in to absorb into our model’s hair while hairstylists ready the hair iron for the straightening process. The temperature is set to 100°C, a very low temperature compared to the standard 160-220°C. To avoid damaging Annie’s hair, Hope’s hairstylists place special plastic protection over each side of the iron plate. They then proceed to straighten our model’s hair, section by section. Straight-Cure Or Traditional Japanese Straightening Method, What Is The Difference? Until a few years ago, traditional permanent Japanese straightening method was very popular. However, the technique requires much time, uses a lot of chemicals that damages hair, and considerably reduces hair volume. What’s more, it doesn’t allow customers to try out other hairstyles – such as bleached highlights, Balayage and digital perm – as the strong chemical reactions required are not compatible with the traditional perm. Straight-Cure is a revolution in the Japanese hair straightening area. With a built-in anti- damage treatment, Straight-cure straightens frizzy hair but doesn’t damage them like a traditional Japanese straight perm. Compared to a traditional Japanese straightening perm, Straight-Cure lasts about two months, allowing you to change your hairstyle and enjoy other hair styling technique such as Balayage and digital perm at any time. Straight- Cure controls your hair fizziness and volume but does not flatten your hair. With the hot hair iron set at low temperature, this technique guarantees almost no damage, making your hair naturally straight, soft, shiny and easy to maintain at home. Just pat dry your hair with a towel after washing and you are ready to go! Final Touches To conclude the hair styling session, Hope’s owner Koki evens out Annie’s hairs into straight, sleek lines before styling our model’s hair with a traditional blow dry using a round brush to add hair volume and shine. To supplement her new hairstyle, Annie puts on a blue velvet jumpsuit and poses for our photographer! If you are dreaming of straight hair without the damage, and controlled volume without the long-term commitment, then Straight-Cure is made for you. At Hope hair salon, this in-vogue semi-permanent technique will allow you to say sayonara to your unwanted frizz in as little as only one hour!

The Latest New York Style Balayage in Tokyo that Suits You Best

“Natural-looking highlights, rather than vibrant, is key to making you look sophisticated.” says Ami, a fluent English-speaking top stylist at Daikanyama-based Bulb hair salon. A recent returnee, she relocated to Tokyo following a 10 year long hairdressing career in New York. During our visit, she proposes a half highlight package using low-maintenance hair coloring to keep our model of the day Daria looking naturally trendy. Personalizing Your Hair Color with a Mix of Coloring Methods Top stylist Ami intentionally combines different coloring techniques, taking a more bespoke approach towards making you feel like your most beautiful self. The experience commences with a consultation, where we shortly learn how our model Daria received her current head of chunky highlights – during a trip to her hometown a few months back. Her hair has also grown two inches since, and dark roots are noticeable. After accessing the situation, Ami decides to transform Daria’s traditional highlights into a sophisticated play of subtle, blond color contrasts. The hair coloring session begins with Ami applying the bleach with freehand coloring method Balayage, the most trending highlighting technique of current time. Balayage is performed on the lower sections to brighten our model’s hair without straying into stripy highlights territory. Ami then combines the technique with a highlighting technique called Foilyage, carefully and methodically wrapping Balayage-painted hair sections into foils to amplify hair lightening. Foliyage gives Daria a naturally beautiful head of highlights while getting more lift out of the ends, something that cannot be done with simply Balayage. Babylights, a delicate highlighting technique, is then a performed on the top of Daria’s head to create the subtle dimensional colors that are often observed in children hair. Applying Two Shades of Toner for a Natural Effect With the highlight procedures out of the way, coppery hair toner is administered on Daria’s hair to neutralize the unwanted brassy yellow color that results from bleaching. Ami thoughtfully chooses a warm tone to bring out our lovely model’s fair complexion. Ami then employs Shadow Roots, a low-maintenance coloring technique that – as the name suggests – creates a beautiful, blurred transition between shades, allowing natural hair color to grow out without extra attention. A Strengthening Keratin Color Care Smoothing Hair Treatment Following the end of the hair coloring session, Daria enjoys a complimentary head massage as Ami indulges her hair in an intensive, 5-step moisturizing hair treatment to reverse potential damage. The keratin seals the hair, strengthens hair follicles and helps the color last longer. Concluding with a Traditional NY Style Blowout Technique The final step of today’s salon services is a perfect drying and styling session. Ami flawlessly executes a traditional blow dry using a round brush to add hair volume and shine, a technique that was high in demand with her clients back in New York. As Daria was dressed in an elegant black dress, Ami styled her hair with a hair curling iron to add texture to the final look. To the surprise of our team, the entire hair coloring session was completed in just about two hours, hands down the fastest we have seen at Tokyo Beauty Stars! Ami definitely knows her highlighting techniques and does not hesitate to put her expertise to use with her clients. If you’re considering fuss-free natural looking highlights, would like to maintain your hair color, or simply want to touch-up your roots, this may be just the go-to package for you. Visit Bulb salon for professional consultation with highlighting expert Ami to discover the best combination of highlight color and tones that not just suits your style, but also your hair and complexion!

The Design Process of Simple & Trendy Gel Nails To start off, Anmi will look at your nails and do any necessary filing and cuticle care so that she has a nice smooth base to start with. With buffing techniques and cuticle pushback and clean up she can even give short nails an elongated look. For every customer, Anmi uses a fresh set of buffers and filers that are disinfected and stored in anti-bacterial packs so that a high level of hygiene and sanitation can be guaranteed. Doing nail design can often be damaging to your nails, but Anmi uses precise techniques that she gathered in her time in New York and has perfected over time. These methods minimize any damage to your nails. She achieves this by not cutting the nails too short and not using products that are too adhesive. Painting small petals with elaborated lines on the model’s 3 fingers. Edgy Short Nail Design In this nail package option, you get the choice of 1 color plus gel nail designs of your choice for 3 fingers. With over 200 colors to choose from it isn’t easy! One thing that makes her salon unique is the speedy application process. She uses a LED nail lamp that can quickly dry nails in just 5 seconds! Not only that, but she is able to draw very detailed designs very quickly. So if you are in a rush, don’t worry! By applying two base coats and two top coats, the nail designs are very well protected and last about one month. For the base coat, one normal coat plus one extra coat is used. So even if you want to go visit a hot spring in Japan, you don’t have to worry about your nails! You can choose your nail design from anmi‘s wide assortment of design options, or you can bring in an image of the design you want. Our model Amy wanted a simple, matte color with an intricate design that looks classy but can be easily worn to work. With a very fine brush, Anmi quickly paints the design with professional prowess. Seeing her work is like watching a live art performance. Edgy nail design with petal painting on 3 fingers for a sophisticated look! Exfoliating Scrub and Hand Massage Once your nails are finished Anmi uses a soothing exfoliating scrub to massage your arms. This process helps to remove dead skin and promote blood circulation. The scrub has a wonderful scent, and the end result is super smooth skin. With so many nail designs available in this package from the talented nail artist Anmi, the nail designs you dream of can be within the reach of your fingertips!

Comprehensive Package for Avant-Garde Tokyo Style with Tokio Inkarami

The model Hana arrived early that morning. The stylists welcomed her in and quickly brought her to a chair and made her comfortable. Then, they began the consultation. She needed a new look—something stylish—and she wanted to neutralize the reds in her hair. She had not been to a salon in several months, and her hair needed a bit of a TLC. Stylists Yukari Katayama and Takahiro Araki suggested a color close to her natural hair color and a cut with feminine bangs that framed her face. This style would look great and be easy for her to maintain in between salon visits. Over 400 Hair Colors to Choose From After Hana agreed, stylist Yukari went to a wall of dyes in the middle of the salon. NORA has over 400 colors and stylists can mix dyes to create custom shades for clients, she told us. She grabbed three bottles and began mixing a custom color. She was making a shade just for the model. Once the color was ready, the stylists began applying the color throughout the Hana’s hair. The dyes they were using were ADDICTCHY, a Japanese professional hair color brand that would give the model shiny, long-lasting color. After checking on the model’s hair, stylist Takahiro Araki said they were ready to wash the dye out. Detox Hair With an All-Natural Head Spa in Tokyo This all-natural treatment uses 100 percent pure essential oils to detoxify and condition your scalp and hair for glossy, healthy hair. Great for all ages, this package is particularly popular among local clients in their 30s and 40s and those who are interested in an organic, eco-friendly lifestyle. If you’d rather try something made in Japan, then opt for the hair treatment. NORA hair salon uses the Tokio Inkarami salon system. Using patent technology, this three-step system strengthens the hair by 140 percent, slows hair aging using Nobel Prize-winning ingredient fullerene, and tames frizzy hair. The stylists shot a stream of warm steam on the model’s hair to open up the cuticle. With the cuticle open, the stylists then applied three products— each one heavier in consistency than the last. After steaming the model’s hair once more, it was time to wash everything out. Redefining Your Style With the model back in the chair, stylist Takahiro Araki began to cut her hair. He followed up with TOKIO hair oil before blow drying. He finished off the model’s cut by dry cutting face-framing bangs. Then, he and stylist Yukari Katayama used a round brush to finish off the model’s look. When asked about the package, the model told us how much she enjoyed the whole experience. The head spa massage was extremely relaxing, while the steam from the Japanese hair treatment was the perfect temperature. You’ll be happy with either treatment option! Who This Tokyo Style Package is Perfect For Considering this package? The comprehensive hair package is perfect for anyone looking to change up their hairstyle to something more trendy and avant-garde. Please follow up with either an organic head spa or a steamy hair treatment! Book with a NORA stylist today! *Currently head spa is not served. Sorry!*

7-Region Journey,Unwind in Ikebukuro

HOROS 〜reverse & aging〜 is a sanctuary devoted to self-renewal. The moment you step through its doors, the outside world fades. Work, worries, and distractions melt away, inviting you to turn inward and rediscover your rhythm. Their original product, “HOS.JAPAN,” is crafted for those with scalp, skin, and hair concerns, embodying three guiding principles: Holos, Hopes, Hospes. These elements form the heart of HOROS—a place where care is not just given, but deeply felt. May HOS.JAPAN bring you products that resonate with your spirit and inspire lasting trust. Customer Experience HOROS 〜reverse & aging〜 is the destination for those seeking relief from hair concerns or craving deep relaxation. Just steps from Ikebukuro Station, this haven invites you to leave stress behind and turn inward. From the moment you enter, your heart stirs in anticipation of exquisite care. Seven Shampoos, Seven Japanese Regions Today’s model shared her concerns about sun-damaged hair after a long, intense summer. She was introduced to the seven shampoos of “HOS. JAPAN”. HOHO, KIKI, KUKU, TOTO, CHUCHU, SHISHI and OO. Each shampoo is named after the first letter of regions across Japan, and more than just names, they are crafted with raw materials and ingredients sourced from those regions – each certified for sustainable practices under the SDGs. After reading the instructions and experiencing the scents firsthand, she chose “OO”, inspired by the Okinawa region, specially formulated for hair revitalization. Spa Ritual with Rare Ore and Scalp Renewal The model was welcomed into a private space enhanced by healing sounds and digital art. She was gently laid on a warm treatment bed, setting the stage for a deeply restorative experience. The session began with scalp care using SHISHI Stone Seed—an exclusive HOROS creation. This powder, crafted from rare Mate ore sourced only in Ehime Prefecture, emits high levels of far-infrared radiation. It promotes circulation in the blood and lymphatic systems while delicately removing　impurities such as clogged pores, dead skin cells, wax, and silicone residue, leaving skin thoroughly refreshed and renewed. After the remarkable SHISHI Stone Seed care, a warm towel was applied to aid absorption before transitioning to the shampoo ritual using 'OO'. This distinctive formula adapts its scent to the individual's condition—today, the model experienced a perfect aromatic match, delivering deep relaxation. Infused with advanced bioactive ingredients, 'OO' also fortifies hair at the scalp level, enhancing resilience, volume, and overall vitality. Sacred Headbath & Deep Hair Healing Next, enjoy a second wave of relaxation through Tou-Shin-Yoku (headbath), where your head is gently immersed and rinsed in carbonated spring water slightly warmer than body temperature—soothing the mind while thoroughly cleansing the scalp and hair. After a soothing head spa, indulge in HOROS’s signature six-step treatment and head massage—an embodiment of Japanese precision and masterful technique, crafted to restore and elevate your hair with exceptional care.　This advanced ritual begins by infusing the hair with lipids, followed by proteins, and then a second lipid layer to initiate a chemical reaction that strengthens and repairs the hair’s inner structure. An acidic agent is then applied to tighten the cuticle, locking the treatment ingredients deep within. Finally, a protective coating shields the hair from external stressors such as UV rays and heat damage, ensuring lasting resilience, smoothness, and radiant shine. Dried to Perfection: The Moment of Reveal As the final rinse completes the treatment, you’ll immediately feel a transformation in your hair’s texture—lighter, smoother, and deeply renewed. The anticipation builds as your hair is gently blow-dried, then polished with straight irons to enhance its natural shine. To finish, HOROS’s original oil is applied to smooth and seal the hair, leaving it soft, radiant, and beautifully refined. Where Hair Finds Balance and Radiance After a one-hour session of total relaxation and care, the model was amazed by the hair’s smooth manageability and airy lightness—sensations she had never felt before. Deeply satisfied with both the calming experience and the results, she left with a renewed sense of beauty and ease. While many head spas exist, this course stands apart—an exceptional experience that exceeds expectations and leaves a lasting impression. Don’t miss the chance to discover a level of care and relaxation beyond compare. Rooted in Japanese precision and hospitality, each step of the treatment reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and care. From the selection of ingredients to the rhythm of the massage, every detail is thoughtfully designed to restore harmony to both hair and spirit.
