Yume washing units

Looking for a Yume washing unit, also known as a head spa chair or hair spa washing unit?

Yume is the Japanese washing system behind the Head Spa concept, where the client lies completely horizontal throughout the wash instead of sitting in a reclined position. Many people do not know the product name Yume itself, but search for the same product using terms such as head spa chair, hair spa washing unit or simply a chair you can lie down in. Whatever you call it, this is the series from Takara Belmont you are looking for. Explore our broader Head Spa furniture range if you want to build the complete concept with Spa Mist and Headbath.

Guide: How to choose the right Yume model

There are four things worth considering before you choose.

1. Which model is right for your salon?

Yume DX is the top model, with motorised height adjustment of the entire system, so you do not have to adjust the chair manually for each client. Yume Noble and the classic Yume sit in the mid-range, with the same basic comfort but without motorised adjustment. Yume Espoir is the most affordable entry point to the range, with a simpler design that is still based on the same horizontal lying position as the rest of the series.

2. Colour and finish

Yume is available in several colours, including black, white, green and dark blue, depending on the model. The colour of such a large and visible part of the salon has a major impact on the atmosphere of the room, so it is worth choosing based on the overall interior rather than viewing the chair in isolation. Espoir and Noble have a narrower colour range than DX, so always check the current selection for the model you are considering if a particular colour is important to you.

3. Investment and business plan

A Yume washing unit is a larger investment than a standard washing unit, so most of our customers choose the complete Head Spa concept from the outset, but with a more affordable Yume model than DX, rather than buying the washing unit alone. We help you create a business plan for the investment, so it can pay for itself through what you charge for the treatment. We also often recommend that customers wait if the concept is not a good fit for the salon—it needs to make sense for your particular business. Contact us, and we will help you find out whether it is the right investment for you.

4. Accessories for Yume

Yume can be expanded with accessories such as Headbath, which adds a flow of water over the scalp during the wash, an extra neck cushion for increased comfort, and an eyelash kit for treatments requiring precision work close to the eyes. You do not have to choose all the accessories at once; they can be added later as you expand your Head Spa concept. If you want to maintain the same level of comfort throughout the client’s visit, Yume can also be complemented by a matching Yume treatment stool.

Popular Yume models

Yume DX is the best-selling model in the series and is available in black, white, green and dark blue. Yume Espoir is often chosen by salons introducing the concept for the first time, in green, dark blue or black. Yume Noble is available in black and brown as a midway option between the classic Yume and the top-of-the-range DX.

Brand

Yume was developed by Takara Belmont, the Japanese brand behind the Head Spa concept, drawing on decades of experience with salon furniture and Japanese craftsmanship. The series is designed specifically for the horizontal lying position that characterises Head Spa, unlike a standard washing unit designed for washing clients in a seated, reclined position. If you are looking for a more traditional washing unit instead, you will find a broader selection of prices and features in our washing units.

Delivery and peace of mind

Four things are always included, regardless of which Yume model you choose. Price match: We are happy to match the price of an item, so you always get the best price. Fast shipping: No hidden fees or delivery charges related to your order. 14-day returns: If you change your mind, we are ready to help. Terms apply. 2-year warranty: We always offer at least a 2-year warranty on our furniture and equipment. Made-to-order items and special colours are excluded from the general right of return. See the full terms in our terms and conditions.

As Yume is a unique and exclusive system, we always recommend experiencing it up close before making your decision—it is difficult to judge the lying experience from pictures alone. Visit our showroom in Viborg, where you can lie in the chair yourself and get advice from Klaus Østergaard on how the system could fit into your salon.

Frequently asked questions about Yume

Is it called a Yume washing unit, a head spa chair or a hair spa washing unit?

It is the same product under several different names. Yume is the name of the product range from the Takara Belmont brand, while head spa chair and hair spa washing unit are descriptions many people use when they do not know the product name but are looking for a chair they can lie completely flat in during washing. Some people also simply search for a washing unit that reclines fully, without knowing that a dedicated system exists for this purpose. Whatever term you use, this is the series you are looking for, so you do not need to know the brand or product name to find the right one.

What is the difference between Yume DX, Noble and Espoir?

Yume DX has motorised height adjustment of the entire system, so the chair can be adjusted electrically for each client without you having to make manual adjustments many times a day. Yume Noble and the classic Yume offer the same basic comfort and horizontal lying position, but without the motorised function, and are adjusted manually instead, making them more affordable to purchase. Yume Espoir is the simplest and most affordable model in the series, but is based on the same core principle. The main differences are in the adjustment mechanism, finish and price—not in the client’s lying experience, which is the same across the entire series.

Can I add Head Spa accessories later?

Yes, Headbath and other accessories can be fitted to the Yume washing units after you have purchased the chair itself, so you do not have to choose everything from the start. Many salons begin with the washing unit and expand the concept once they see interest from their clients, rather than committing a large budget to equipment from day one. This allows you to spread the investment over time instead of financing the entire Head Spa concept at once, and you can tailor the accessories to what your clients actually request.

Is Yume suitable for a smaller salon?

Yes, especially Yume Espoir is designed as an affordable entry point to the concept without compromising the lying experience itself. A smaller salon does not need to start with the top-of-the-range DX to offer a genuine Head Spa experience. The most important feature is the horizontal lying position shared by all models in the series, not the adjustment mechanism. If you are unsure what makes the most sense for your space and budget, we are happy to help you work it out so the investment matches what you can realistically charge for the treatment.

What warranty does Yume come with?

You get at least a 2-year warranty on all Yume models, whether you choose Espoir, Noble or the top-of-the-range DX, and regardless of the colour you select. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the frame, mechanics and electrical components, including the motor in the DX model, so you are covered if an electrical component fails during normal use—not only in cases of ordinary wear and tear. Please note that special colours are excluded from the general 14-day right of return because they are produced specifically for your order and cannot be resold as a standard item to another customer.
