Following a daily skincare routine is excellent for your skin. However, now and then, it’s good to let the professionals help you take even better care of your skin. Tokyo has an abundance of beauty salons, but just a handful of beauty salons are English friendly. With that in mind, we’ve put together this lineup of English-speaking beauty salons in Tokyo that offer some of the best facial treatments.
Glow by Tomoko
Glow by Tomoko is a cozy, personal facial salon right in the heart of Tokyo. Tomoko is a New York state-licensed esthetician who lived in New York for 16 years. She offers the best of both worlds regarding facials: Western and Japanese skincare techniques. She also keeps up with local and international skincare trends. Before your facial, you’ll get to ask the esthetician about your skin concerns. What makes Glow by Tomoko unique is her hand-crafted facial treatments. In addition, she has an ingredient-focused approach whereby she mixes skincare ingredients to address skin concerns, which means no one facial is ever the same. She also recommends products based on ingredients rather than brand names.
Glow by Tomoko offers four facial treatments ranging from one to two hours. Whichever facial you choose, everything is tailored to your skin type and concerns such as acne, dark spots, pore congestion, and dehydration. Glow by Tomoko is determined to make English speakers in Japan feel safe. She said, “I wanted to build a space where English-speaking clients can discuss their skin concerns and achieve their skin goals effectively, which I noticed was difficult to find in Japan.” Tomoko’s salon is now relocated to a new space in the Jingumae/Omotesando area. One thing that hasn’t changed is her commitment to providing the best facial treatment to achieve that healthy glow! DM or email to book an appointment.
