Head Spa Salon QUATRE -離れ家-京都店 — Local services in Kyoto

The salon itself is really cute, very Kyoto style and calm. The woman who helped me was super kind and patient. My Japanese is limited, but she made an effort to communicate clearly and make me feel comfortable.

The treatment overall was nice, and the massage was fine (not the best I’ve had, but relaxing enough). The only thing that felt a bit awkward was being left alone in the room for about 10 to 20 minutes while my hair was steaming. It would have been nice if she mentioned that in advance or offered a small hand massage or something during that time. I would not have minded paying extra for that.

When I arrived, they asked again what treatment I wanted, even though I had already chosen one online. It felt like a bit of an upsell situation (which worked on me, to be honest 😅).

One thing to note is that the salon encourages people to leave reviews on Google in exchange for a small extra treatment. I do not think that is wrong, but it did make me feel a bit guilty about leaving an honest rating since they check the review to give you the discount.

Overall, it is a lovely salon with friendly staff and a...

This was my first hair spa and I couldn't have had a more relaxing experience with Mikiko at Quatre in Kyoto! After a warm welcome and a scalp assessment using a camera, we discussed the process and equipment she would use. This was not only my first head spa, but her first time having a client with microlocs! I really appreciated her asking questions about how the scalp massager machine would affect my dreads, we also discussed that my hair needs to be totally dry after getting wet and she helped with drying afterwards. She was an active listener and made me feel very comfortable. The language differences were no issue as we used Google translate.

The treatment itself was incredibly relaxing - it felt like I got 8 hours of sleep in 90min - her hands were amazing and my scalp post treatment looked amazing.

Full disclosure- she gave me a small discount for writing a Google review - but I would have written one anyway becsuse Mikiko was an absolute pro with amazing positive energy and incredible hands! The salon was spotless and would return every month for a deep cleaning with her if I only...

I had an incredible experience at Head Spa Quatre in Kyoto, and I can’t recommend it enough! Mikiko was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She began with a detailed hair and scalp analysis, taking the time to explain everything to me with great care and clarity. Her knowledge and gentle approach instantly made me feel relaxed and at ease.

The spa treatment itself was pure bliss. Every step was designed to calm the mind and body, creating a sense of serenity that I didn’t want to end. I truly appreciated how Mikiko paid attention to every detail, ensuring I was comfortable throughout the experience. The tea they served before and after the treatment added a perfect touch—delicious and soothing, making the entire experience feel uniquely Japanese.

I left the spa feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and incredibly relaxed. It was such a peaceful escape, and I only wish I lived in Kyoto so I could come back again and again. Experiencing the blend of Japanese culture and hospitality here was unforgettable.

If you’re visiting Kyoto, this is an absolute must-try. Treat yourself—you...
