Head spa and shampoo aren’t the only sources of relaxation. What I value most is the subtle design that tunes the five senses. For example: ① Light: brightness set to avoid glare, and styling angles that keep your eyes from straining. ② Sound: the steady rhythm of the scissors, with quieter conversation. ③ Posture: micro adjusting the chair height and footrest, and placing a towel at the neck to reduce pressure. ④ Water temperature: adjusted in 0.5 °C increments and calibrated to your body temperature for comfortable warmth. ⑤ Scent & breathing: a single drop of a soft aroma, and a treatment tempo that follows deep breaths. We end with 60 seconds of “white space” in front of the mirror, confirming together the finish that suits today’s mood. Even without special add ons, these small considerations help the mind unwind.

We create a few minutes of visual rest—close your eyes, and tuck your phone back in your bag. When tension leaves your fingertips, your shoulders soften, too. Choose scents with a short, gentle trail—like Japanese citrus or hinoki—so the comfort lingers on your way home. Layering these small acts of “tuning” lightens not only your hair, but your mood as well. That’s the kind of time I aim to offer.
