Hi,
My wife loves trying random beauty and spa stuff around Tokyo so recently she booked one of those ear cleaning salons in Ochanomizu. She was actually really excited about it and said it was supposed to be relaxing and kind of unique.
So she went in, spent about half an hour there and paid around 3500 yen. When she came back home she basically laughed and said her ears did not even feel that clean. Out of curiosity we checked with a Bebird later and there was still visible wax, so it did not seem like much actually got done.
Also kind of weird detail but she mentioned the waiting area was mostly guys and it did not really feel like a normal spa vibe. The whole thing felt a bit off and not what she expected at all.
Now I am wondering if these places are more about the experience than actual cleaning or if we just picked a bad one.
Has anyone here in Tokyo tried these ear cleaning salons and actually had a good or legit experience? Or is this just one of those things that sounds better than it is?
