The Digital Salon Association (located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as "the Association"), operated by Eye Universe Inc., will begin offering "Digisalo DX," a regular AI training program for the beauty industry, starting in April 2026. This program is jointly promoted under a business alliance between Eye Universe Inc. and GIVE-FORWARD Inc., with the aim of standardizing AI/DX literacy and improving operational efficiency across the entire beauty industry.

In recent years, while AI utilization has accelerated in many industries such as food and beverage, real estate, and e-commerce, the beauty salon industry often hears voices saying, "I want to use AI, but I don't know where to start." The challenge of limited learning opportunities for individual staff and slow DX promotion across the entire organization is a common concern for salons nationwide. "Digisalo DX" responds to these on-site needs by providing a continuous learning system that enables the entire salon to grow into an organization that can "master" AI.

Background of Launch | Confirmation of Positive Feedback from Trial Training

On March 19, 2026, prior to the official launch, a trial training session titled "AI x Salon Revolution" was conducted at the beauty salon "SENJYU." In a post-training survey, which included participants from management to stylists, the AI utilization motivation score (out of 10 points) recorded a perfect score for all participants. More than half of the participants responded that they "actively want to continue learning," confirming a strong need for regular AI training in the beauty industry.

【Participant Voices】

✅ "I didn't realize that ChatGPT's backend settings could be so extensive! Participating regularly seems like it will help me understand what I don't know."

——Manager

✅ "The training was broken down into how to actually use it, so I could immediately imagine applying it to my own work."

——Stylist

✅ "I was most surprised to learn that voice input is now mainstream, not manual input."

——Stylist

Digisalo DX Solves 3 Values

"Digisalo DX" simultaneously solves three challenges in beauty salon operations.

・ Raises the AI literacy of all staff, creating a "common language" within the salon.

・ Elevates learning from "knowing" to "mastering in practice" at the salon.

・ Externally certifies the salon's credibility and differentiation power through AI diploma acquisition.

"Don't just learn. Become a salon that certifies AI literacy." — This is the vision of Digisalo DX.

Future Outlook

Eye Universe Inc. will continue to be a driving force in AI utilization in the beauty industry, working to promote DX across the entire industry through the widespread adoption of "Digisalo DX."

Leveraging the knowledge gained from the cumulative introduction of "iProducer Studio" to 550 corporations, we will expand our services with both AI education and AI utilization support, aiming to create an environment where all beauticians, regardless of scale, can "naturally use AI."
