"Masaki was great, professional, experienced. I asked for a shorter layered cut and I brought a photo to give an idea. He knew exactly what I was looking for. Masaki also has a calm nature about him that puts you at ease."

"Booked a last minute scalp facial with Gon — and it was excellent. 50 minute head spa with blow dry. I have seen this online and finally decided to do it — highly recommend! He analyzed my (dry) scalp and got right into the treatment. It is several steps, including a steam portion. There is a lot of scalp massaging & it is incredible. He knew all the pressure points and relieved much tension. More importantly — my scalp feels so healthy! It is so clean, no flakes or itchiness. I can’t wait to see the results over the next few weeks. Note — wear a tank top, NOT a turtle neck sweater!"

"I booked a Head Spa Scalp Treatment & Blow Dry service with Masaki. The appointment was really wonderful. I work with my hands and when I am experiencing a lot of fatigue and pain, it's really hard for me to wash my own hair. Not only was the wash extremely thorough, the Blow Dry was done with care and detail. Both the dry & wet segments of the head & neck massage were excellent. Masaki is highly skilled and I left feeling really good. I hope to return for the same service with Masaki next month."

"Honestly I think this might be the best haircut I’ve ever had. Toki listened to what I wanted, then took his time to think about what would work best for me. The head spa add on was very pleasant too and my hair and scalp feel and look healthy. I’m really, really pleased. I would highly recommend."

"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a Japanese scalp treatment while I was visiting New York City, and I have to say, it was an incredibly calming and relaxing experience from start to finish. After seeing so many rave reviews on TikTok, I knew I had to try this treatment out for myself. Upon walking into the salon, I could tell that this was going to be a beautiful experience. And from the moment I sat down, I was blown away by the level of care and attention the masseuse provided. They began by analyzing my scalp before proceeding with a 30-minute massage, shampooing, and an invigorating steam treatment. I was amazed at how effective this simple yet luxurious process was at easing all of my tension and helping me unwind. After the steam treatment, my masseuse applied a variety of oils and serums to my scalp, which felt amazing. And best of all, after rinsing out the products, my masseuse continued to massage and blow dry my hair to perfection. I felt rejuvenated, and my hair looked amazing! In all honesty, my head felt a little sore in the hours following the treatment due to the pressure of the massage. But I wouldn't consider it a negative because it was such a positive experience, and ultimately, it proved just how effective and thorough the scalp treatment was. I even fell asleep twice during the process, which is a clear testament to how relaxing and enjoyable the experience truly was. Overall, I would highly recommend a Japanese scalp treatment to anyone in search of a rejuvenating and utterly calming spa experience. At $118, you really can’t go wrong."
