AIRBEAU Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Daisuke Ikeda) is pleased to announce the full renewal and official launch on May 11, 2026 (Monday) of "Tokyo Beauty Stars" (hereinafter, TBS), Japan's largest beauty salon booking platform for inbound and resident foreigners.
Accompanying this renewal, we have revised our pricing plans and introduced Japan's first (※1) 100% no-show compensation for all paid plans. By strengthening the pre-payment function, we have completely eliminated the risk of "no-shows," which was the biggest barrier to inbound customer acquisition. The platform has evolved to deliver Japan's high-quality beauty techniques to the world, overcoming language and payment barriers.
(※1: According to our own research / as an inbound foreigner-specialized beauty booking platform in Japan)
Background
Inbound tourists' travel styles have shifted from traditional "sightseeing tours" to "experience-based consumption" that involves experiencing Japan's high-quality services. According to research, some data predicts that the inbound beauty market will reach 44.5 billion yen by 2030 (※2).
However, behind the rapid increase in demand, challenges also exist for salons on the ground. Amid a labor shortage due to a declining working population, communication with overseas customers is not easy. In particular, "no-shows" (unauthorized cancellations) by overseas customers, where communication methods are limited, pose a significant management risk, and the barriers of complex menu explanations and counseling create a large opportunity loss in inbound customer acquisition. With this renewal, TBS has resolved these issues and built an infrastructure that allows Japanese salons to confidently welcome customers from around the world.

Key Points of the Renewal
[Japan's First] 100% No-Show Compensation for All Paid Plans, Plus Standardized Full Pre-Payment System
Standardizing the flow of completing credit card payments at the time of booking, the new pricing plans offer 100% compensation for no-shows across all paid plans. This completely prevents losses due to no-shows, which is the biggest management risk for salons, ensuring stable revenue.
"Global Standard UI/UX" to Maximize Booking Rates
By analyzing the behavioral data of overseas users, we have redesigned the introduction of popular menus and the booking flow. Strengthening multilingual support, primarily in English, provides an intuitive understanding of complex Japanese beauty menus and a stress-free booking experience.
"LINE Integration Management Dashboard" to Reduce Workload
Pursuing ease of use for the field, booking management is integrated with LINE. Staff members, even while serving customers, can check bookings and respond to customers in real-time from their smartphones, reducing their workload.
Daisuke Ikeda, Representative Director, AIRBEAU Inc.
"Japanese beauty techniques are world-class, but due to language and payment barriers, their value has not been fully conveyed to the world. We have received many earnest consultations from salons saying, 'We want to welcome inbound customers,' regarding customer acquisition and on-site operations. This renewal and the introduction of 100% no-show compensation is not just a system update; it is the development of infrastructure for Japanese salons to confidently do business with the world. We will create new value for Japanese tourism and beauty experiences through 'borderless beauty experiences.' Going forward, we will accelerate our expansion beyond hair salons to nail, eyelash, spa, and aesthetic categories, delivering Japan's wonderful beauty services to even more people."
