This service aims to solve issues such as labor shortages and early turnover in the beauty industry, supporting the realization of satisfactory matches for both job seekers and businesses.

■ Social Background

In recent years, with increasing beauty consciousness among both men and women, the demand for beauty services has expanded. On the other hand, the number of beauty salons in Japan exceeds 270,000 *1, intensifying the competitive environment.

Amidst this, the barber and beauty industry continues to face a severe labor shortage due to a declining working population and high turnover rates. The effective job-to-applicant ratio for beauticians remains high at 5.73 times *2 as of Reiwa 6 (2024) fiscal year. Particularly, 40.9% *3 of people leave their first barber or beauty salon within three years of employment, making the retention of young talent an urgent issue for the industry.

The background to this often includes dissatisfaction with salary levels and working hours, as well as an information gap between pre-employment expectations and the reality of the workplace. The difficulty in securing talent also affects management, with the number of bankruptcies among beauty salons reaching a record high of 235 cases *4 in 2025. Improving talent acquisition and retention is becoming increasingly important for the entire industry.
