Hey everyone
So I came across these “hizamakura” ear cleaning salons online, like the one in Akihabara called Yamamoto, and I’m kinda curious if it’s actually worth it. I’m the kind of person who overuses cotton buds and sometimes even scrapes with tissue because I get nervous about wax buildup. I know, I know, I should just go to an ENT instead, but the idea of someone actually cleaning my ears properly while I just relax sounds tempting.
I haven’t tried one yet, but I’ve been tempted because the thought of finally having my ears properly cleared without hurting myself is appealing. I even peeked at a Bebird once to see what was going on in there, which just made me realize how messy I probably am.
My worry is, are these places actually effective or is it more for show and relaxation? Would it actually remove wax safely, or am I just risking more irritation?
Has anyone here gone to one of these salons? What was it like? Did it actually help with wax issues or just feel nice?
