    Hello! I'm a hairstylist, Makeup Artist and Headspa educator in Japan and Canada. I provide a “personal cut” which is tailored to all different shapes of heads and facial contours. Also, I apply special cut skills utilizing one’s hair type to the full potential that allows you to maintain your favourite hairstyle at home even after a few months from your hair cut. If you are distressed by damaged hair or hair loss, I recommend you to try our Scalp Cleansing with micro bubble and 100% Amino Treatment. You will enjoy smooth touch and shiny hair for a month. If you are troubled by hair loss or dry or oily scalp, I suggest you to try our Head Spa (a.k.a Scalp Massage) for increased blood circulation to the hair follicles, condition scalp by removing excess skin oil and dirt. Please contact me if you have any concerns about your hair.

    I am delighted to join the head spa team this September,2025. My interest in head spa began with a personal curiosity for self-care and the belief that relaxation is essential for overall well-being.

    Message
    As a new mom to a baby boy I’ve come to appreciate the importance of self-care more than ever. A head spa is more than just relaxation—it improves circulation, helps reduce tension, and supports healthier hair growth by nourishing the scalp. I look forward to welcoming you and creating a calming, tailored experience just for you.
