“Idéal Hair Removal & Facial Beauty Salon” is a warm and welcoming hair removal salon run by an owner with 30 years of experience.
Opened five years ago, Idéal Hair Removal & Facial Beauty Salon first began as a men’s-only salon. As demand from women grew, it has since evolved into a hair removal and facial esthetic salon welcoming both men and women.
At hair salons and beauty clinics, it is quite common to relax during a treatment and chat casually about everyday life. Valuing this warm and easygoing atmosphere, the salon always welcomes guests who come to unwind, offering not only attentive treatments but also gentle, pleasant conversations that help put the mind at ease.
“Idéal Hair Removal & Facial Beauty Salon” offers a wide range of treatments, from facial areas such as the beard and chin to full-body care. The salon’s main hair removal methods are “IPL (light-based) hair removal” and “Brazilian waxing”.
In Japan, facial hair removal is very popular among men, especially those in their thirties. Now that the salon also offers hair removal and facial treatments for women, some couples choose to visit together, as both can be treated simultaneously in separate private rooms.
The owner Mrs. Yoko Nakayama, who has 30 years of experience as an esthetician.
There are two small private rooms available, providing clients with complete privacy and relaxation. To ensure everyone feels confident and welcome, Mrs. Nakayama looks after female clients, while Mr. Nakayama who is also an esthetician attends to male clients.
Moisturizing care before hair removal and post-treatment massages are provided free of charge.
In addition, the main facial esthetic courses range from a 60-minute basic course to a 70-minute pore-refining course recommended for those concerned about clogged pores, with a total of eight different options available.
Most clients usually visit once a month. It is difficult to know in advance how many hair removal sessions will be needed until the hair is completely gone, but the salon recommends coming once a month for six months. For this reason, they offer a six-month package at a better value, as well as individual sessions.
In recent years, more men have become interested in beauty care, and the customer ratio is estimated at about 70% men and 30% women.
In Japan, it is common to shave facial hair, such as beards, to maintain a clean, well-groomed appearance. Mr. Nakayama shared a surprising story about a client who received a salary raise after removing his beard because it improved the impression he made at the office!
For IPL (light-based) hair removal, regular treatments are recommended for all areas.
The standard plan consists of 1 session per month with a total treatment period of about 6 months.
Prices are reasonable, and there is no sales pressure, making it a comfortable option even for first-time clients.
Brazilian waxing does not require shaving beforehand, making it a popular and convenient option for those seeking an easy hair removal method.
Hair removal is most effective while the hair still has color. Once hair turns gray, the machine can no longer detect it, making removal not possible, which is why starting at a younger age is recommended.
