For those navigating life in Tokyo—whether a visitor or resident—the change in environment, water or lifestyle can often lead to unexpected skin troubles. Finding a salon that understands these unique challenges, speaks your language and delivers world-class results can be a sanctuary. Kozy Beauty Salon is that unique retreat in Ebisu, founded on the concept of being a place where people from overseas can feel completely at ease.

What is the unique skincare philosophy at Kozy Beauty Salon?

The philosophy of Kozy Beauty Salon is a harmonious blend of the best skincare traditions from around the globe. Owner and esthetician Rina Kojima, who trained in Japan and the US, has mastered an approach that delivers relaxation and visible results in equal measure.

The foundation is rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics, which emphasize precision, natural balance, skin health and the high standard of Japanese hospitality known as omotenashi. This gentle, detailed methodology is then fused with the results-driven techniques Rina mastered in the US, where the emphasis is on efficiency and visible improvements.

The commitment to comfort and efficacy is crystallized in the salon’s three core concepts:

• Cozy: The salon provides a private, welcoming retreat designed for relaxation.
• Safe & Easy: Care is gentle, non-invasive and suitable for all skin types.

Results: Guests can expect visible improvements in their skin condition, notable lifting effects and a natural, lasting glow.

What is the “Signature Japanese Glow” Treatment?

The salon’s most acclaimed offering is the Signature Japanese Glow, which focuses on restoring long-term skin health by improving circulation, restoring balance and reducing stress. This isn’t just about temporary brightening; it’s a testament to restored skin health.

The treatment is a unique fusion, leveraging detailed Japanese techniques, warm omotenashi, advanced Western technology and even incorporates high-quality Korean skincare products. Every facial, including the signature treatment, begins with a thorough skin check and consultation. This ensures Rina can customize the menu, technology and products to precisely match your unique goals and skin condition.

How does the salon achieve advanced facial lifting results?

Kozy Beauty Salon takes a modern approach to anti-aging and firming by utilizing a suite of specialized facial lifting techniques and professional skincare products. These are designed to boost circulation and promote natural renewal.

Key to their results-focused method is their advanced lifting machinery, sourced from Japan, Korea and the US. These include the following three advanced lifting technologies:

• Ultrasound Tightening
• Microcurrent
• Radiofrequency

Which specialized treatments are offered for sensitive or problem skin?

Beyond lifting, the salon excels at addressing complex skin needs, including acne, sensitive skin and concerns related to aging.

One prominent service is Facial Peeling. Kozy Salon uses world-class peeling methods, including the BioPhyto concept, which focuses on the renewal of cells deep within the skin’s inner layers. This is highly effective for addressing concerns such as acne, acne scars, large pores, anti-aging and even sensitive skin or redness. For best results in skin improvement, an initial recommendation is often a bi-weekly treatment schedule.

For clients struggling with sensitivity or stress, the Unstress Facial is a restorative option. This specialized treatment calms irritation, provides deep hydration and restores the skin’s natural balance. All facials, including the Unstress treatment, include a customized facial massage and décolleté massage to maximize both relaxation and results.

What is the overall guest experience like for non-Japanese speakers?

Kozy Beauty Salon is committed to ensuring every guest, particularly those new to Japanese beauty care or from overseas, feels comfortable and secure.

The environment is a quiet, private space where guests receive one-on-one care, allowing them to escape daily stresses. Warmth and kindness are central to the experience. Each step of the treatment is explained clearly to ensure guests feel safe and confident. For new or overseas guests, the salon takes more care by using extra-gentle techniques and ensuring the process is easy to understand, allowing them to relax and enjoy the treatment with total peace of mind.
