Christos Artemiou has been my hairdresser now for the last 18 months. I love his talent, his passion for hair and how humble he is. When Christos told me that he has now brought the SHU UEMURA ART OF HAIR range and the treatments to the salon, I got very excited.
Shu Uemura was a Japanese makeup artist and founder of the cosmetics line which bears his name. He was a creative force in the cosmetic world and developed products that respect skin health and enhance natural beauty. His philosophy was love the skin that you have, protect it and amplify it. Before he died in 2007, he created the Art of Hair. Hair is integral to a woman’s beauty. The Shu Uemura Art of Hair brings together the artistic touch, the intelligence of nature and natural ingredients and the integrity of science and delivers products and in-salon experiences which create a new level of hair and mind balance and health.
I was very lucky to be treated to such an amazing in-salon experience recently and I wanted to share my experience with you.

This shampoo refreshes and revitalises the hair and is infused with Moringa Oil and Red Algae Extract which is often used in high-end skincare products. This luxurious shampoo gently eliminates pollution and impurities, whilst replenishing moisture to leave hair soft, smooth and healthy from root to tip.
Hair is left purified, protected and strengthened after use.

Treatment Step 4
SHU UEMURA ART OF HAIR Urban Moisture Masque is an intense treatment developed for sensitised, dry and damaged hair. This masque harnesses the nourishing powers of Moringa and Red Algae Extracts, and works to replenish and revitalise lack-lustre strands, whilst improving manageability and detangling to leave hair soft, smooth and healthy-looking from root to tip.
- Apply to clean, damp hair. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly once time is up but not before Step 5 is complete.
Top Tips:
- Apply 2 pumps of the Essence Absolue Nourishing Oil and mix into the masque before applying to the hair for a more intense treatment.
- Apply to small sections of the hair (roughly 6 to 8 sections) and work into the hair and then twist.
Treatment Step 5
This stage of the treatment is ultimate bliss and is done while masque is left on the hair to do its magic.
- Using the Essence Absolue Nourishing Oil, your therapist will give you an incredible massage – neck, shoulders, arms and hands.
Treatment Step 6
- Once massage and masque time is complete, carefully make way back to the wash basin for masque to be removed thoroughly.
Treatment Step 7
- Style hair as desired.
Treatment price
The cost of this in-salon treatment is €60 and it is pure heavenly indulgence for hair, mind and spirit.
