Fix Your Damaged Hair With Tokio Inkarami Hair Treatment in Tokyo

The Hair Problem Our hair model, in desperate need of damaged hair repair, arrived with high expectations for Natura’s staff to cure her hair problem. Fortunately for her, Natura’s hair professional recommended the Tokio Inkarami Salon System as the perfect solution to all her hair issues. Dry and damaged hair in need of special care Prepping the Hair for Tokio Inkarami Treatment Natura’s shampoo room was definitely a first for us – a beach-themed ‘movie’ playing on a screen to a soundtrack of ocean waves was the setting for our hair model’s shampoo. This is just one of the novel experiences that makes Japanese salons so unique. After the shampoo, the hair was put through a Sparkling Water Spa treatment, which made the hair soft and easy to manage, and also gave it extra elasticity and shine. The mineral-rich carbonated water in the Sparkling Water Spa treatment adding luster and bounce to the hair The Tokio Inkarami Salon System Treatment The hair was now fully prepped to take in all the benefits of this special strengthening treatment. Let’s learn a little more about it. The Tokio Inkarami Salon System, in an industry first, was created with patent technology to strengthen the hair by 140%, as well as to solidify the keratin inside the hair – essential for hair repair, growth, and volume. Whereas conventional treatments superficially repair the hair with silicones and polymers, this system repairs the hair completely from the inside out – and uses the Nobel Prize-winning ingredient – fullerene – to absorb active oxygen, thereby slowing down the hair’s aging process. It is perfect for damaged hair issues like split ends and dullness. Tokio Inkarami Salon System cream is infused with collagen and amino acids, which is essential for strengthening the hair. To further enhance the effects of the system, the ultra-fine mist of a steaming machine was used to allow the cream to penetrate the hair more deeply without causing any hair damage; and to maximize the moisture level in the hair by opening up the hair cuticles. The steam machine blasting the hair with moisture to open the hair cuticles and to maximize the benefits of the cream treatment. The Smooth, Shiny Finish In just 90 minutes, our hair model’s frizz was tamed into smooth, shiny locks that she couldn’t wait to show off on her lifestyle and beauty blog. If you want the same effects from this treatment….why not give Natura salon a try the next time you are in Tokyo? The shine speaks for itself!

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!

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.

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.

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!

NORA GINZA Hair Salon in Ginza

Get a Hairstyle That Suits Your Face With This All Inclusive Package in Tokyo

Hayato is widely-known as one of the best salons catering to the large international community that lives in and around Roppongi Hills and Midtown. The internationally-trained staff is more than capable of giving their customers the best hair services possible, as international residents and tourists make up 40% of their clientele. The staff is also very familiar with imported products like Goldwell and Redken. With this information in mind, our hair models were very excited to try Hayato’s  ‘anything you like’ package, where they could relax and fully trust their stylist to take care of their hair. One of the hair models wanted a digital perm – a unique Japanese hair perm, while our second model opted for a double-process hair color, a conditioning treatment, and a haircut. 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.

Head Spa & Haircut by Master Stylist in Tokyo that You Can Really Trust

BULB owner and stylist, Nageyama The Master Stylist’s Background Born in Miyazaki prefecture in 1980, Nageyama grew up admiring many of the charismatic Tokyo-based hairdressers of the late 90’s. He came to Tokyo with the dream of becoming one of the leading stylists in Japanese beauty culture, and after he graduated from Tokyo’s Hollywood Beauty School, he trained with senior stylists for many years to gain respect in the hair design field. The Master Stylist Today Today, Nageyama is a highly respected salon owner and sought-after hair stylist in his own right. Professionalism and high quality service are equally as important to him as his hair design techniques, as he believes that – regardless of the salon’s ambience and decor – the stylist holds the ultimate responsibility in providing customers what was promised to them. He has many loyal customers that will travel long distances for his services, and he is a trusted beauty advisor who assists in developing beauty products with leading Japanese manufacturers. With these various talents in the hair design world, Nageyama is a well-rounded stylist who knows the industry inside and and out. The Master Stylist at Work So with all this in mind, we were eager to see how Nageyama would pull off giving our three hair models new looks they would be totally satisfied with. Our first hair model wanted an edgy, modern cut that would give him the ‘cool’ factor. After a look at the magazine image the model brought and a brief but detailed consultation, Nageyama started snipping away and in almost no time, our model had the razor-sharp cut he was looking for. Looking very cool indeed! Our second hair model wanted a classic style to complement her features – not too different from her usual style – and one that she could easily maintain at home. After a relaxing head spa with steam treatment, Nageyama worked his hair cutting magic again by giving her a youthful look with bouncy locks, and her smile at the end said it all! All smiles after the Nageyama effect Our third model was a little short on time, and we were concerned that she may not get exactly what she wanted given the time constraints. Again, Nageyama’s efficiency and superior hair cutting skills shone through, and she got the beautifully designed bob she wanted. Another highly satisfied customer! Giving three hair models exactly the styles they wanted in just over three hours? We needed no more proof that Nageyama is indeed the master stylist able to give you exactly the style you want too!

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. The model was left satisfied with a relaxing treatment that restored volume and life to her long locks. Who This Package is Perfect For Considering this package? This holistic head spa package is perfect if your hair needs deep repair. This all-natural treatment uses 100 percent pure essential oils to detoxify and condition your scalp and hair for glossy, healthy hair.

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!

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!

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!

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
