Takara Belmont’s Spa Mist II
Takara Belmont’s Spa Mist II is a versatile hair processor that opts for mist instead of steam, which does less damage to hair by avoiding harsh temperatures. In addition to providing a spa-like atmosphere, the Spa Mist II also enhances treatments by opening up the hair follicle, allowing the treatment to penetrate, and sealing the follicle shut for better results.

“The Spa Mist II is one of the most multi-functional products on the market,” says Steve Hughes, National Sales Manager. “In addition to providing a spectrum of services, the Spa Mist II can also be used in tandem with other Takara Belmont equipment or as a stand-alone. It really provides tremendous value.”
It’s sleek, cubic design and mobile set up makes it easy to implement into any salon or shop. The lightweight and easy to transport body is also durable enough to withstand many uses, allowing for multiple handlings for services on a daily basis.
