Ceremonial Conditioning

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ceremony

You ditched the terrycloth for a silk kimono. You thrive on sushi. Securing chopsticks in your chignon could be overkill.

So how to maintain a little geisha glam?

Infuse some Eastern promise into your beauty routine with the Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ceremony at SalonCapri. Inspired by a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, the nourishing ritual purports to invigorate, soothe, and repair your locks.

The treatment begins with a purifying scalp cleanse and shiatsu scalp massage, followed by a thorough shampoo. Next, a custom-blended, hand-whisked treatment masque is brushed on the hair in one-inch sections. Just five minutes to marinate, a quick rinse, and hair is silky smooth.

Next stop: Kyoto.

Available at SalonCapri, 31 Lincoln Street, Newton Highlands (617-969-1970 or saloncapri.com).
