Takara Belmont USA Launches YUME HEADBATH

SOMERSET, NJ –TAKARA BELMONT USA, the pioneering force behind the widely acclaimed YUME Head Spa, is delighted to announce the official launch of the YUME Headbath in the United States. After a year of meticulous testing and refinement, following its successful debut in Japan, the YUME Headbath is set to redefine the realm of scalp treatments and usher in a new era of elevated selfcare practices nationwide.

“We are thrilled to witness the viral sensation that the YUME Headbath has created since its introduction in Japan. The overwhelming desire for this transformative product speaks volumes about its impact on self-care rituals and its ability to elevate salon offerings,” says Kendrick Wong, Marketing Manager at Takara Belmont USA, Inc.

This eagerly awaited Yume Head Spa accessory is enriched with features designed to enhance the YUME Head Spa experience, offering clients a sensory journey that goes beyond conventional salon services.

Key features include:

Cleansing, Purifying, and Healing: Delivers a brief yet highly efficient scalp-cleansing experience, removing accumulated dirt and product build-up, as well as removing oxidized sebum while preserving the essential moisture. This process establishes the perfect foundation for fostering healthy hair growth.

Stress Relief: Beyond its physical benefits, the YUME Headbath offers a therapeutic escape, alleviating stress and fostering a transformative shift in clients’ dispositions. The enveloping warmth of the water, coupled with the gentle murmur of a stream, creates a sensory journey that transcends daily stresses. This immersive experience draws clients into a profound state of tranquil serenity.

Effortless Integration for Maximum Impact: Its user-friendly design allows for effortless attachment and detachment while the client is in the treatment position. No additional techniques or training are required, ensuring highly effective results from the very first treatment.

Compatibility: Designed for ease, the YUME Headbath attachment seamlessly integrates with select full lie-flat shampoo units from the YUME Series, including Yume, Yume Espoir, Yume Noble and Yume Suite.

Distinguishing itself from market replicas, the YUME Headbath utilizes fresh water to ensure a superior and hygienic experience. In contrast, imitations in the market often resort to recycled water from the basin, compromising the overall quality of the experience. This exceptional product stands as a testament to Takara Belmont’s steadfast commitment to advancing design, functionality, and technology.

“It is more than a product; it’s a sensation, a sought-after experience that has become a must-have for salons looking to redefine excellence in scalp treatments and provide clients with an indulgent escape into tranquility,” says Karen Gordon, YUME Head Spa Education Lead.

Rooted in a legacy of innovation and excellence, Takara Belmont continually shapes and surpasses industry standards, providing tools that not only meet but exceed the dynamic needs of the ever-evolving beauty industry.

Chairman Letter

October 5, 2021

Dear Valued Customers and Business Partners

TAKARA BELMONT celebrates its 100th anniversary on October 5, 2021. It is because of all the parties involved in the hairdressing and beauty industry, dental and medical industry—including our customers, distributors and business partners in the world—that we can celebrate this milestone. We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has used our products and felt in
tune with our spirit of manufacturing, while walking together with us and showing us what improvements are needed.

Our company started its business as a foundry 100 years ago in an industrial area along the Kizu River in Nishinari, Osaka. Ten years later, we changed our main business line from the manufacture of cast parts for daily essentials such as clay charcoal stoves to the manufacture of barber chairs. This bold challenge led to build and strengthen the foundation of our current
business.

While we faced changing times and suffered from many natural disasters, we joined forces with our group companies to expand our business under the motto of “Supporting the beauty and health of people” and have grown into a company that sells its products not only in Japan, but also in more than 120 countries around the world.

Today, the world has changed drastically due to the coronavirus pandemic. While many industries are making a digital shift, not all operations can be handled online in the hairdressing & beauty industry and the dental and medical industry. These are industries where physical contact is the reality of the professional workplace. In this difficult age where there is no one correct answer, we realized anew that our mission is to pursue how we can support the real, touchable workplace. Nothing can replace the warmth that is produced by human touch. We will make every effort to continue to uphold this most important, enduring value and be a partner who creates the future together with professionals in the hairdressing & beauty, dental and medical industries.

As a manufacturing company in an industry that supports people’s lives, we launched a new project to realize a sustainable society. While aiming to achieve zero waste in our business, we will also focus on providing manufacturing education to children and contributing to the community that has helped us grow.

It is a universal value to live and enjoy a beautiful life. We will continue our business and social contribution activities over the next 100 years toward a better tomorrow and the realization of a beautiful life for our customers, partners, and everyone in society.

Chairman and CEO of Takara Belmont Corporation

SOMERSET, NJ – Takara Belmont announced the release of the Americana Series, a seating lineup that features three unique chair designs each complete with styling, reception, all-purpose, dryer, and backwash variations.

“We set out with a simple goal to develop a line of seating equipment to fit all areas of a salon or spa,” said Steve Hughes, National Sales Manager of Takara Belmont USA. “The result is an impressive suite of versatile, comfortable and stylish chairs that perform as well as they look.”
