Takamichi ICHI.1 conditioner formulated with sage and camellia oil protects and strengthens hair and scalp. Because sage has anti-inflammatory, purifying, and calming properties, it’s especially well-suited for sensitive and irritated scalps. Sage also inhibits the overproduction of sebum, and thus complements camellia oil beautifully. Together, these two ingredients leave hair and scalp healthy and balanced. For medium to dry hair types, safe for colored hair. Made in Italy
Takamichi opted for larger bottles ( 12oz fl ) made of recycled plastic

DIRECTIONS
After shampoo massage, the conditioner on the hair, leave it on for 2 minutes and rinse well.
Hair salon tip: after the shampoo, be sure to wring the hair well with a towel (and not just between your hands) to remove all the excess water. The conditioner will penetrate much more deeply, and its action will immediately increase tenfold.
THE STORY
After 20 years of working with his clients, understanding their needs, and naturally touching their hair, Takamichi wanted to help them clear through the clutter and simplify their regimens. It took him four years to develop his line of well-crafted, everyday essentials. Featuring wildcrafted extracts created by ultrasound extraction – which yields purer and more potent benefits than steam distillation.

THE BRAND
Known by New Yorkers who value individualistic, precise cuts and styling, Takamichi Saeki and the team at Takamichi HAIR have a top-performance salon showcasing the ultimate expression of Takamichi’s style and vision. Takamichi opened his eponymous salon in 1999, located at 68 East 1st Street, on the corner of 1st Avenue. With a growing, loyal following Takamichi moved the salon in 2004 to a loft at 35 Great Jones Street. In Fall 2011, Takamichi moved to 263 Bowery, 2nd floor, a modern, luxurious space designed by architect Sandra van Rolleghem and featuring a mural by Barcelona-born acclaimed artist Santi Moix.
Takamichi Saeki began his creative career as the Assistant Director of the ISE Cultural Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Soho, which supports artists and scholars whose work promotes Japanese esthetics and culture. In 1991, Takamichi opened his own gallery, Salon de Fleurs, partnering with a friend. It was this experience with understanding form and composition that helped to define Takamichi as a hairstylist. He began this second career at Siren, the Nolita salon that developed a cult following in the 1990s when Andre Balazs and John Cale were regulars.
With his line of products, Takamichi’s goal is simple. After 20 years of working with his clients, understanding their needs, and naturally, touching their hair, he wanted to help them clear through the clutter and simplify their regimens. His products are timeless, well-crafted, everyday essentials that not only ensure
good grooming now – but for years to come.
