She customizes every treatment with care, ensuring deeply personal experience. Her expert touch reveals exactly what your body needs, even if you’re unsure yourself. What you need to do is just close your eyes, relax, and let it all go. During the counseling session, the model shared her concerns about body misalignment and fatigue, particularly mentioning a notable discrepancy in the length of her legs and persistent, unexplained exhaustion that had troubled her for years. Body Alignment Magic: Achieving Results in Seconds Treatment began with the model lying comfortably in a prone position on a massage bed. With practiced grace, Hami placed her hands gently on the backbone, as if “guiding” the distortion to return to its rightful alignment. There was no pressure applied, no discomfort caused-only the sensation of an invisible energy at work. The model felt a soothing warmth radiating along her spine, like a ripple of healing energy. In an instant, the discrepancy in her leg length was corrected, as if by magic. The session continues with a soothing back massage that melts away tension. Muscle stiffness is expertly addressed through the shiatsu method,infused with the healing energy of Reiki. Trusted in Hami’s skilled touch, often likened to the “hand of god”, the model surrendered herself to complete relaxation. As Hami’s Reiki-charged hands worked their magic, the lingering fatigue that had weighed her down melted away, leaving her feeling utterly refreshed and reenergized. Gentle head massage, paired with a revitalizing scalp treatment using carbonated solutions, melts away neck stiffness and refreshes your mind. It’s a perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate, leaving you feeling renewed from head to toe. Breathing Made Easy: Relaxation Through Diaphragm Therapy The treatment concludes with a delicate intestinal massage and targeted diaphragm therapy.  By gently stimulating the diaphragm, deeper and more effortless breathing is achieved, leaving you in a state of complete serene relaxation. A Tranquil Pause Amidst the Chaos of Travel After a soothing hour-long session of Reiki-infused Shiatsu、the model’s expression reflected a serene overwhelm-a mix of relief and rejuvenation. Hami’s mastery in harnessing Reiki’s healing energy dissolves travel fatigue from long-haul flights and banished leg stiffness from hours of Tokyo shopping, leaving you revitalized and ready to embrace the rest of your journey.

Indulge in Relaxing Escape: The Secret to Silky, Shiny Hair

Passionate stylists are dedicated to providing personalized treatments tailored to each client’s unique needs. Experience expert care and achieve the ideal hairstyle in a soothing environment.   Customized Hair Care: Find the Perfect Treatment for You The standout feature of Sulir Hair and Nail Design is its extensive selection of shampoos and treatments.

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. For Those Seeking the Ultimate Hair & Scalp Care After: The model’s hair now has a silky shine and a naturally elegant finish.Are you considering this luxurious treatment?

Revive And Detox Lifeless Hair With An Organic Head Spa in Tokyo

Detox Hair With an All-Natural Head Spa in Tokyo Whether you’re living it up in the city or are based in the ‘burbs, your hair faces a lot of everyday stress and pollution. So, it needs a gentle but effective detox. And, a trip to NORA Ginza will do just that. Enjoy a revitalizing head spa using organic products and essential oils in this holistic hair package. On a bright and sunny morning, Kristine arrived at NORA Ginza for a revitalizing hair experience. Representative Araki and Head therapist Sasaki welcomed her in and showed her to a wall of lockers to put away her things. She wanted to experience a restorative head spa, a quintessential Japanese treatment. Understanding her needs, the stylists recommended their highly-requested, all-natural head spa package to relieve any stress Kristine might have and to revive her long, brown locks. This package features a holistic head spa using essential oils made up of 100 percent pure and natural plant essence followed by a haircut to revive your look. The essential oils absorb into the skin, improving blood flow and relaxing the body with their aromatic benefits that you can be enjoyed long after the appointment. Aromatic and All-Natural Haircare by Shigeta Head therapist Sasaki whisked the client to the back and invited her to take a seat at one of the washing stations. NORA Ginza is equipped with plush, fully-reclining shampoo chairs to pamper clients and give them the utmost sense of relaxation. As Kristine got comfortable, Sasaki turned towards her arsenal of organic goodies by Shigeta. Made by a Japanese woman in France, the Shigeta haircare line features all-natural ingredients with aromatherapeutic benefits that are perfect for repairing damaged hair and bringing out its original beauty. The brand also produces complementary skincare and detox water. First up was shampoo. Using Shigeta’s Wild Grace Repair Shampoo, the head therapist worked the product into Kristine’s wet hair. Immediately, the salon was filled with the scent of geranium and other botanical extracts. Deep-Treating With Pure Essential Oils With the hair cleansed and rinsed, she moved onto the treatment. Starting with scalp care, head therapist Sasaki took Shigeta’s essential oil blend Midnight Lustre and applied a few drops to the client’s hairline. As she worked the oil into Kristine’s scalp, alluring notes such as frankincense, myrrh, spearmint, and sage scented the air. Without washing the oil out, head therapist Sasaki then took Shigeta’s Wild Grace Repair Hair Mask and applied it from mid-shaft to end. She then massaged what was left into roots while letting the product penetrate the hair follicle. She continued massaging the model’s head, working from the hairline all the way to the nape of the neck. A Luxurious Head and Shoulder Massage After five minutes of massaging the model’s scalp, the head therapist brought over two more essential oils: Body Mind Spirit and River of Life. Kristine was then asked to choose between the two. Body Mind Spirit is a calming blend of ingredients like patchouli, chamomile, and geranium that invites a meditative state. While River of Life improves circulation with its invigorating blend of things such as cypress, rosemary camphor, and peppermint. Sasaki explained that your body knows what it needs at the moment, so choose the essential oil that smells best to you. Following her advice, the client chose Body Mind Spirit. Using Body Mind Spirit, the head therapist began a neck and shoulder massage using long, kneading strokes to relieve tension.  Finish With a Fresh Cut and Blow Out With the massage completed, the head spa was done. The hair treatment was washed out of Kristine’s hair and she was brought to the stylist chair where representative Araki waited. Araki spoke with her on her hair concerns and what she’d like done, as well as how to care for her hair at home. From there, Araki went to work trimming split ends and styling her new ‘do.

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

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!

The Latest Japanese Hair Straightening and Smoothing Treatment in Tokyo

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

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
