About Sakura
A Japanese discipline, practiced in Egypt.
Sakura began with a simple observation: Egypt has excellent spas, and almost none of them treat the scalp as anything more than a step on the way to a haircut.

Why Japanese
The difference is the method
In Japan it is its own field. Therapists train in it specifically. There are instruments for it, a sequence to it, and a way of measuring whether it worked. We thought the country was ready for the real version.
A Japanese head spa is not a scalp massage. It is a sequence performed in an order that matters, with water temperature and pressure held deliberately within a narrow range.
The assessment comes first because scalps differ more than faces do. A therapist who skips the reading is guessing.
What people notice afterwards is rarely their hair. It is that they slept properly, or that the headache they had carried for three days is gone.
The method
Five stages, always in this order
-
01
Assessment
A magnified reading of the scalp: oil, follicles, and where the tension sits. It decides the next fifty minutes.
-
02
Cleansing
Build-up lifted gently, with products chosen for what the reading showed rather than for everyone.
-
03
Circulation
Slow pressure through the scalp, temples and the base of the skull, held within a narrow, deliberate range.
-
04
Drainage
Down through the neck and shoulders, where the scalp’s tension usually ends up, then the warm cascade.
-
05
Rest
The quiet room, tea, and as long as you want. The part most people remember the next day.
Our standards
Clean, private, and unhurried
-
Hygiene
Linens changed in front of you. Single-use items opened in front of you. Rooms and instruments cleaned to a written protocol between every guest, not between every few.
-
Privacy
Your room is yours for the hour. The door locks. Nobody enters without knocking and waiting. We do not take photographs, and we do not ask you to.
-
Time
Sixty minutes means sixty minutes of treatment. The consultation, the changing, the tea afterwards: none of it is taken out of your hour.
Our therapists
Who will treat you
What that means in the room is consistency. The pressure you asked for last time is on your file. The therapist you liked is bookable by name.
