The website has all information about the treatments available...http://www.shuuemuraartofhair.com but here's a review I've found

I hate back basins. You know, those excruciating ten minutes whilst you have your hair shampooed and, horror of horrors, your scalp massaged by some Saturday girl or boy who thinks they are a Reiki Master because they had a half day training one evening at the salon. Even the most high tech, chair goes flat, padded edged basin is in essence a prescription for a trip to an osteopath. So in all my years as a beauty journalist little fills me with dread as much as an invitation to a hair "spa".
I can understand why salons strive to make hair colouring and cutting a more Zen like experience, but really they should give up and get back to what they are good at. This is transforming my hair in as little time as possible so in turn I can go back to pretending that I wake up looking that way. So I was intrigued by Shu Uemura’s new Art Of Hair venture.

I say intrigued because like any beauty addict I know that Shu Uemura is a by word for great beauty, and having met Mr Uemura once I was inspired by his knowledge, style and ability to calm a room simply by entering it. In fact it was a little like that scene from Kill Bill where Uma's Thurman's character is made to see the error of her arrogant Western ways when she is tutored by her Master atop a Japanese mountain. Except instead of Mr Uemura teaching sword play, he teaches brush work. Within seconds of meeting him I realised that this was no ordinary beauty expert. Here was a true guru. But having mastered brushes, colours and even skin care, can Shu Uemura do hair care? And more importantly can they really turn a back basin experience in to a hair spa?
So I had the Shu Art of Hair Ceremony at The Daniel Hersheson Salon at Harvey Nichols. I say ceremony because it is inspired by the Japanese Green Tea Ceremony, complete with faux lacquer whisking bowls, brushes and mystery. But, as with any spa experience, the success is truly reliant on two things, the quality of the therapist and the ambiance of the spa.

Therapist Chico Shigeta is a Parisian based Japanese lady who prescribed a treatment for damaged hair (no surprise there) and then set about my upper body with a strength that belied her size. First I had a Scalp Cleansing Oil treatment applied, then a brilliant scalp massage worthy of a destination spa, cleverly done, not at the basin, but in an extra luxurious salon chair. I was shampooed and conditioned then given a neck and shoulder massage that left me feeling quite light headed and very relaxed. My only complaint was that this all took part in a busy, chatty and vibrant salon. If only they had thought to put the entire experience into its own mini spa room, they would have had to pour me from the the chair. If this takes off then be sure that's what they will do.
And so yet again I salute you Mr Uemura. Not only for the concept and execution of The Art Of Hair but also the great products. I now have a new must have hair product the White Tea Polishing Milk £18; the perfect before, during and after blow drying milk that leaves hair smooth without weighing it down. And, at last, a range of shampoos and conditioners that are so beautiful they sit side by side with my skin care and make-up.
