Our Story
The Haku Philosophy
Haku Ranelagh was established in 2022 by Sayaka O Connor. With over 10 years of experience in Japan, Sayaka sought to introduce unique Japanese methods to the Irish beauty market. These include Kobido, Shiatsu and bamboo techniques.
We opened Haku Blackrock in 2026, introducing Ireland to authentic Japanese head spa treatments and expert Japanese hair stylists.
About our Brand
In traditional Japanese, Haku 白 represents cleansing, renewal and purification. With the stresses of the world ever increasing, this traditional aesthetic is something we strive to offer all our clients. An oasis in the heart of the city. A place of peace and relaxation to reset and rebalance before returning to the outside world.
