Our Story

About Dreamin’

Japanese-quality technique, brought to the Gold Coast — one guest at a time.

Philosophy

Fashion colour, perms, and other chemical services can create beautiful styles, but beauty should not always come at the expense of your hair.

At Dreamin’, we believe there is another choice — to make your hair itself healthier, stronger and naturally more beautiful.

Rather than simply changing how your hair looks, we focus on caring for the scalp and hair from the foundation.

Guided by the principles of trichology, we provide personalised care designed to support the long-term health, condition and natural beauty of your hair.

Our goal is to help you maintain healthy, glossy hair not only today, but for the next 10 years and beyond.

Choose to make your hair beautiful, not just make it look beautiful.

The Artisan

The story behind Dreamin’

With over 20 years of experience in the hair industry, founder Takashi Iwata created Dreamin’ with one simple belief: shampoo should be more than just the first step of a salon visit — it should be an experience in itself.

When he couldn’t find an authentic Japanese wet head spa on the Gold Coast, he imported a fully flat shampoo bed from Japan and built Dreamin’ around the comfort, care and attention to detail that define Japanese head spa culture.

Having performed more than 1,800 head spa treatments, Takashi’s vision has continued to grow. Today, Dreamin’ is about more than relaxation — it’s about helping people understand their scalp, care for it properly, and enjoy healthier hair for years to come.

Every treatment is designed with one goal in mind: to help clients maintain a healthy scalp and beautiful hair — not just for today, but for the next 10 years and beyond. Read more in his Journal
