I booked this for my wife and she loved it! She came out with beautiful hair and very relaxed. If you're looking to spoil your significant other or a solo traveller looking to get pampered, definitely give this one a go. I wasn't allowed to stay as I think it was women's only but the hostess gave me a free drink and some cold water before asking me to leave. I was totally OK with that because I was able to do some sightseeing and shopping in peace. Just kidding haha not really 😅
Thank you so much for this wonderful review — and for treating your wife to a quiet hour with us. We're delighted she left with beautiful hair and a lighter head; our "Tojinyoku" head bath and hair treatment exist exactly for moments like that. And now, an important correction — with our apologies for the miscommunication that day: our salon is not women-only, and we actually have a waiting lounge where up to two companions are welcome to relax with a free drink. You could have stayed! We're sorry your sightseeing was, as you say, so very "peaceful." Better still: gentlemen are welcome as guests too, and couples can enjoy their treatments at the same time, each in a private room. So on your next visit to Tokyo, please book for two — same quiet hour, together. You've earned one more little rest as well. We look forward to welcoming you both properly this time. Otsukaresama!

I had a great time. I was totally relaxed and felt no stress. The lady took her time and massages my neck and head. She hit some pressure points that made me feel really good. I would do it again when I come back.
Thank you so much for visiting us and for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you felt relaxed and comfortable during your head spa. We look forward to welcoming you again when you come back to Japan. 🌿
Great service. She was very accommodating since I was half an hour early to my appointment, but she took me in. In addition, I did not speak and or understand Japanese. So she showed me where to place my stuff in the locker, where the bathroom was and in the room. Translation was used to show me what will be done to my hair. She had great patience with me since I didn't understand her. The washing and shampooing with head massage was very calming, and my hair is smooth and silky even after the second day.
Thank you so much for your kind review and for visiting our salon! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience and felt relaxed during the treatment. It was our pleasure to assist you and make sure everything was comfortable despite the language difference. We’re also delighted that your hair stayed smooth and silky even after a few days — that makes us truly glad! We hope to welcome you again the next time you visit Tokyo. 🌿 Warm regards, KOKAGE Head Spa, Gotanda
