Founder Story

One hairdresser,
The answer that took 30 years to reach.

The Pinnacle

We have been nominated three times for the JAPAN DRESSING AWARD.

The more I perfected my technique, the bigger one question became.

"Why do they look so beautiful, yet still lack vitality?"

Customers leave happy after getting their hair cut, saying, "I look beautiful." But the following week, they come back with tired faces. Even if you change the outside, if the regenerative power within the body itself is weakened, true beauty cannot be achieved.

Question

"Why, even though I keep them clean, do they still look lifeless?"

Realization

Customers leave happy after getting their hair cut, saying, "I look beautiful." But the following week, they come back with tired faces.

Even if you change only the outside, if the regenerative power within the body itself is weakened, you won't achieve true beauty.

The Voice of the Scalp

One day, while touching a customer's head, I noticed something.

  • The scalp is stiff.
  • The neck feels constricted.
  • The shoulders are raised.

All of the body's ailments were manifesting in the scalp. It was this realization that led to the introduction of head spa in the Kansai region.

The Evolution of the Imai Method

However, existing head spas were not enough.

I studied Oriental medicine and anatomy, and touched the scalps of thousands of people, and discovered the interconnected patterns between bodily ailments and scalp problems.

Jaw・Eye・Neck・Shoulder—

We have systematized the JENS Method, which is derived from the first letters of four words.
A structural approach that resolves the root cause of discomfort.

That is the Imai Method.

Brain Science Evidence

Joint research with Kyoto Tachibana University has begun.

During the treatment, alpha and theta waves appeared simultaneously and continuously—

These were brainwaves equivalent to those of a skilled Zen monk meditating.

It has been proven that there is brain science evidence behind the feeling of "goodness."

The Reason I Never Put Down My Scissors

Even after becoming known as the "Mother of Head Spa," I never put down my scissors.

It's meaningless to style someone's hair if they don't like themselves in the mirror.

A cut designed by reading the bone structure and considering 360 degrees looks great just by drying it.

The moment a client's hair changes, their eyes change too.

I continue to hold my scissors because I want to see that moment.

It's not the price that matters, but the fact that clients value our 30 years of experience and our genuine commitment to transforming your body.

To the Next Generation

I established "IMAI HEAD SPA ACADEMY" and
sent 374 head spa therapists throughout Japan.

I don't want this technique to end with just me.

I want to share this method, which "revitalizes even the brain," with even more people.

Belief

A hair salon is not just a place to style your hair. It's a place to restore your vitality to its rightful place.

Thoughts

We aim to maximize the desire to "become healthy and beautiful," considering beauty from head to toe. We cherish each and every technique performed by hand, and we sincerely hope to bring happiness to everyone through our skills. Please remember this, especially on tired days. You have a place where you can rediscover yourself.
