HOGUGU Share Salon Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yu Motoo) announces that its relaxation share salon, THE SALON by HOGUGU Azabu-Juban, changed its name to SALON by HOGUGU Azabu-Juban effective 1 September 2026. This is a change to the store name. The location, services, bookings, rates and operating company name, HOGUGU Share Salon Co., Ltd., remain unchanged.
To our customers and therapists
Only the store name has changed. The location, service details, existing bookings, pricing and operating company remain the same.
Updating the name across our materials
Signs, in-store displays, printed materials and listings will be updated progressively. Both the old and new names may appear for a while, but they refer to the same store. For questions, please use our contact form.
What makes SALON by HOGUGU Azabu-Juban different
The salon is a hybrid of a share salon and a relaxation salon.
Benefits for therapists
1. A share salon you can use like your own space
Alongside monthly plans based on days of the week, hourly plans let therapists use the space when needed. Treatment wear, towels and oil are available, with some items charged separately, making it possible to visit without bringing all supplies.
2. Combine salon work with HOGUGU to use gaps between appointments
Therapists using the home-visit relaxation service HOGUGU can wait at the salon between home visits and may serve customers visiting the store. Therapists renting a room can also register with HOGUGU and use unbooked time as an opportunity to serve the salon’s customers.
3. Build continuing relationships with customers
After serving a salon customer, therapists can build an ongoing relationship through subsequent requests for the same therapist. Customers can choose a home visit or an in-salon appointment according to their preferences, allowing flexible service and a lasting relationship.
Benefits for customers
1. Services from experienced therapists
Therapists working at SALON by HOGUGU are experienced and have passed HOGUGU’s screening process. Technical ability and customer service are assessed during that application process.
2. Choose the setting that suits your plans
After finding a therapist you like at the salon, you can choose between the salon and a home visit to fit your schedule or situation. For example, visit the conveniently located Azabu-Juban salon after work, or arrange a therapist’s visit at home on a day off.
