In Shinjuku, a head-and-foot massage can be a welcome pause between city days, and this salon offers a focused 50-minute session for $70.15. You get 20 minutes of head massage and 30 minutes of foot massage, a practical pairing if your feet are tired and you want more than a quick rubdown.
I like two things here: the treatment menu ranges from simple massage to equipment-based body care, so you can choose the level of treatment that suits you, and staff take time to explain options before starting. One thing to plan for: the salon is on the seventh floor, and a similar business on the second floor can confuse the search.

A practical pause in the middle of Shinjuku
Tokyo can fill a day with walking, stairs, and crowded train platforms. A 50-minute appointment at Privard Shinjuku offers a simple way to give tired feet and a tense head some attention without setting aside half a day.
The salon’s basic package is clear: 20 minutes of head massage and 30 minutes of foot massage. That makes it a useful choice after a long day on your feet, or as a planned rest between shopping, sightseeing, and dinner. It is a treatment appointment, not a spa day with a long list of included extras.
The name appears as Privard Shinjuku, formerly Privado Shinjuku. The address is 701 Izumi Building, 2-41-12 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku. The seventh-floor location matters. One visitor had trouble because a similar business appeared on the second floor, so check the floor before you settle on the wrong door.

Start with a short consultation
Before treatment, staff conduct a brief consultation about your skin and body condition, concerns, and needs. That gives you a chance to say what you want from the appointment, whether that means a relaxing session or attention to tired legs.
The salon describes its treatments as tailored to each person’s body type, constitution, and lifestyle. In practice, you should treat the consultation as a chance to explain your priorities and ask what the chosen package includes. Staff are described as professional and polite, and they explain treatments during the process.
If you have allergies, a chronic illness, or are pregnant, tell the salon in advance. That information helps staff consider an appropriate service. Participants must be at least 12 years old, and children may come along, though the details of childcare or supervision are not specified.
The 50-minute head and foot session
The most affordable option is the head-and-foot treatment, priced from $70.15. It divides the appointment into 20 minutes for the head and 30 minutes for the feet, so neither part is just a token add-on.
The foot portion is intended to address tired, swollen legs and support circulation and lymph flow. The salon also describes its care as helpful for relaxation in areas including the head, shoulders, and neck. These are treatment aims, not guaranteed outcomes, so book for comfort and relaxation rather than a promised medical result.
Pressure can matter as much as the clock. One person described receiving a firm amount of pressure on the muscles, which suited them after a trip. If you prefer lighter pressure, or have a tender area, say so during the consultation and speak up during the massage.
This package is a good fit if you want a contained appointment with a straightforward purpose. It is less suited to anyone looking for a full-body massage, since the listed 50-minute treatment is specifically focused on the head and feet.
Longer treatments use different tools and techniques
The wider menu is built around body shaping, skin care, relaxation, and facial treatments. The salon lists fat freezing, ultrasound cavitation, radio frequency, magnetic slimming, and Japanese-style small-face correction, alongside manual massage and lymphatic care.
Those names can sound technical, so ask staff to explain what your selected package involves before you begin. The available information describes non-invasive treatments and says staff combine equipment with professional techniques. It does not give detailed session-by-session protocols, so do not assume exactly how long each machine is used or what result you will see.
One option combines ultrasound cavitation, radio frequency, and lymphatic massage in an 80-minute appointment, from $98.55. Another offers Hanfang essential oil lymphatic care for 90 minutes, from $158.45. If you want a longer, hands-on session rather than a short massage, these packages may make more sense.
Fat-freezing options include two areas with a 10-minute head massage for 80 minutes, from $88.29, or four areas with a 20-minute head massage for 80 minutes, from $178.95. The salon also offers a 60-minute Japanese small-face beauty correction session with head massage, from $88.29. The exact area definitions and suitability depend on the package and consultation, so confirm them before paying.
What the prices mean for your visit
At $70.15, the head-and-foot session is the lowest-priced option listed. It gives you a full 50 minutes of treatment, which is a reasonable use of time if your main goal is to rest tired feet and relax your head after sightseeing.
The higher prices buy longer appointments or treatments with specific equipment. For example, the 80-minute cavitation and radio-frequency package costs from $98.55, while the 90-minute essential-oil lymphatic treatment is from $158.45. The four-area fat-freezing package is the most expensive listed option at $178.95.
Price alone does not tell you which treatment is best. Think first about whether you want a massage, a facial-focused session, or an equipment-based body treatment. Then confirm what the package includes and discuss your expectations with staff. The salon’s stated goal is to tailor care, but no specific results or number of sessions are guaranteed.
The listed price is a starting price, and transportation and personal expenses are not included. Keep that in mind if you are comparing the treatment with a hotel spa or adding it to a busy day of paid activities.
Finding the seventh-floor salon
Use the full address: 701 Izumi Building, 2-41-12 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. One person found the salon by following Google Maps, while another found it difficult to locate and needed help from nearby workers. The conflicting experiences suggest that the pin may help, but you should still allow time to check the building and floor.
The key detail is the seventh floor. A similar business on the second floor has caused confusion, so do not assume that the first salon sign you see is the right one. If you are uncertain, confirm the name and floor before your appointment rather than losing treatment time searching.
Opening hours are 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with closure during the New Year holiday period. Arrive at your scheduled time. If you are late, the salon may shorten the treatment, and the voucher is valid only for its specified date and time.
Who will get the most from this appointment
I would choose the 50-minute session if you have been walking all day and want a compact, easy-to-understand treatment. It is also a sensible option if you are curious about the salon but do not want to commit to a longer or higher-priced procedure.
The longer packages suit people who have a specific interest in body or facial care and are comfortable discussing their needs during a consultation. If you are considering fat freezing or another equipment-based treatment, ask what the appointment covers, what areas are treated, and whether your health history affects suitability.
Groups are limited to a maximum of two people. That makes the salon a possible choice for a pair who want appointments together, but the available details do not confirm whether treatments happen at the same time. Contact the salon if that matters to your plans.
Children are welcome to come along, but the treatment itself is for participants aged 12 and older. Keep personal belongings with you, as the salon does not take responsibility for loss or theft on the premises.
Should you book Privard Shinjuku?
Book it if you want a focused head-and-foot massage in Shinjuku, or if you are specifically interested in one of the salon’s body and facial packages. The strongest practical reasons are the clear 50-minute entry option, the broader menu, and a consultation that lets you explain what you need.
Pause before booking an equipment-based treatment if you expect a guaranteed change in body shape or skin condition. The salon describes its methods and aims, but the details provided do not promise particular results. Ask questions, choose the package that matches your goal, and make sure you have the right floor before you arrive.
