Services
Japanese Straight Perm
Our Japanese Straight Perm permanently straightens hair using imported solutions that minimize damage. This treatment lasts indefinitely with proper maintenance, requiring only touch-ups on new growth. Our specialized technique includes a protective solution for chemically-treated hair, making it suitable for previously colored strands. The process takes 3-4 hours with experienced technicians ensuring natural-looking results that maintain hair strength and shine.
Head Spa Treatment
This three-part scalp treatment combines Shiatsu massage, deep cleansing, and carbonated water therapy to improve scalp health. The 45-60 minute session promotes hair growth, reduces hair loss, and addresses scalp conditions through deep pore cleansing and circulation stimulation. Our specialized Japanese equipment delivers targeted treatment that balances oil production while strengthening hair roots for healthier growth.
Balayage Coloring
Our expert stylists apply color using the balayage technique for natural, sun-kissed results. With over 400 color options available, we create customized gradients that grow out beautifully. The process includes a Buffer Treatment to protect hair integrity, lasting up to 12 weeks with proper care. We offer both full and partial balayage services tailored to individual hair types and desired looks.
Nano Steam Treatment
This four-step treatment deeply moisturizes damaged hair using nano-sized steam particles. The 20-minute salon process repairs chemical damage from coloring, perming, or bleaching while the home care kit extends benefits for six weeks. Our specialized machine delivers moisture to the hair's innermost layers, reducing frizz and improving manageability for all hair textures from fine to coarse.
Keratin Treatment
This formaldehyde-free smoothing treatment coats hair with natural keratin proteins for 2-3 months of frizz-free styling. The 90-minute process creates smoother, silkier hair that's easier to manage while maintaining hair health. Ideal for curly or frizzy hair types, the treatment includes home care products to extend results and protect against heat styling damage.
