A hair salon is a place to take care of your hair.
But ZEN Hair & Spa, Nishi-Ojima Branch aims to offer something more: a moment that leaves you feeling refreshed inside as well.
During the interview, Assistant Manager Matsumoto repeatedly spoke about the salon’s desire to “be there for each and every customer.” That spirit can be felt in every one of the salon’s new initiatives and services.

The Head Bath: a new step toward deeper relaxation
At ZEN Hair & Spa, Nishi-Ojima Branch, “relaxation” is an important theme. One service that symbolizes this philosophy is the Head Bath, which the salon was among the first in Koto City to introduce.
Warm water infused with carbon dioxide gently envelops the entire head, helping refresh the scalp and pores while creating a soothing sensation similar to soaking in a hot spring. When enjoyed after hair coloring, it can also help maintain color and shine. This popular menu lets customers relax while caring for their hair.

Because everyone’s hair concerns are different
At this salon, treatments are carefully tailored to each customer’s hair type and scalp condition. The salon offers a wide range of options, including hair spa treatments using Kérastase, L’Oréal’s premium brand, as well as combinations of Western-style care and treatments inspired by traditional herbal approaches.
Rather than recommending a menu one-sidedly, the staff works together with each customer to find the best approach for their individual concerns. This is one of the salon’s core commitments.
▲ The salon takes time to provide thorough consultations.
Creating not only a look that suits you, but a style that feels like you
The salon’s goal is not simply to change a hairstyle. It values “hair design that enriches your lifestyle” and offers suggestions tailored to each customer’s daily life and hair concerns.
Rather than being chosen on price alone, the salon aims to be a place where customers feel, “I can trust them with my hair.”
Based on careful consultations, the staff combines techniques designed to reduce stress on the scalp with care suited to each person’s hair type, creating a look that is uniquely flattering. Another strength of the salon is its focus not only on hairstyle, but also on the natural beauty and condition of the hair itself.

A neighborhood salon for three generations
Most customers are in their 30s to 50s, but the salon is loved by a wide range of generations, from babies to seniors.
Many customers have continued coming for years because they feel, “This is a place where I can talk about my hair concerns with confidence.”
Years of staying close to the local community and valuing relationships with customers are what have made the salon beloved across generations.
A salon rooted in the community – a place you can keep coming back to
What the salon wants to continue valuing most is conversation with its customers.
The staff listens closely to each person and makes suggestions based on the condition of their hair that day and their lifestyle. By providing warm, attentive service rather than treating appointments like an assembly line, the salon strives to be a place customers will want to visit again.
To remain a salon loved by the community and a place where people can casually ask for advice about their hair – that has been the Morimoto Group’s unchanged philosophy since its founding.
More than simply styling hair, this is a salon that offers a small boost toward feeling more positive every day.
