UNIX Electronics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Korea) has begun pre-sales in the Japanese market from April 30, 2026, for its next-generation plasma ion hair dryer "MASTER DO (UN-A9500JP)" from the "UNIX" brand, which is used in over 10,000 beauty salons in Korea.
■ Background
Conventional hair dryers were primarily designed for "drying" hair, with the assumption that styling would be done afterwards. However, in reality, the causes of hair spreading and dryness are static electricity and disrupted moisture balance that occur during the drying process.
UNIX focused on this issue and developed this product with the design philosophy of "making the drying process itself the finishing touch."
■ Emission of approximately 20 million ions
As a result of measurements, it was confirmed that this product emits over 19,990,000 (approximately 20 million) ions. This level reaches the upper limit of measuring equipment and is an extremely high value compared to general hair dryers.
■ Static electricity reduction effect
- UNIX: +8.71kV → -0.20kV
- Product A: +13.60kV → +2.53kV
- Product B: +10.50kV → +2.26kV
■ Product features
- High-speed motor with a maximum of 100,000 RPM
- Approximately 20 million plasma ions
- 6FIT mode (6 types of optimization)
- 12 temperature x airflow settings
Going forward, we will promote expansion primarily through beauty salons in Japan, building brand value based on evaluations from professional settings, and gradually expanding into the general market.
