mad B labo Japan Co., Ltd. announces the launch of TEN:Cai (Tenkai), an educational acrylic ruler developed to address the persistent challenge of 'miscommunication' in beauty education, available starting June 18, 2026.
This product is an educational tool planned and supervised by top active stylists in hairdressing education. It aims to visualize the standards for drawing development diagrams, creating an environment where instructors (teachers, seniors) and learners (beauty students, juniors) can share techniques using the same criteria.
Development Background of TEN:Cai
In beauty education settings, common challenges include 'students misunderstanding despite identical explanations' and 'notes taken diligently becoming incomprehensible upon review.' One key cause is the variation in head shapes depicted in development diagrams. Changes in head shape alter slice positions, angles, and guide visibility. Unnoticed discrepancies in perception lead to differences in technical understanding. We aimed to visualize the standards for drawing development diagrams to enhance the accuracy of teaching and learning—this vision gave birth to TEN:Cai.
Features of TEN:Cai
More than just a ruler for drawing development diagrams, TEN:Cai serves as a communication tool for sharing techniques, featuring the following:
### Standardization of Educational Materials (9 Head Silhouettes Included)
Equipped with nine silhouettes covering all angles—front, side, back—ensuring accurate and consistent diagrams regardless of who draws them.
### Enhanced Learner Comprehension and Reduced Teaching Time
With measurement scales, it enables intuitive sharing of lengths, positions, and ratios, making it clear 'where the cut starts.' This eliminates the need for instructors to redraw diagrams, improving teaching efficiency.
### Practical Transparent Acrylic Design
The transparent acrylic allows underlying notebook lines or whiteboard text to remain visible, enabling precise drawing. Double-sided usability allows immediate adaptation to mirrored silhouettes.

Comments from Planner & Supervisor
We have long worked as instructors in beauty schools and haircut workshops. Repeatedly, we've witnessed students advancing without full understanding. Diagrams drawn on whiteboards, copied into notebooks—yet later, confusion arises: 'Where was this section taken from?' 'What was the reference point?'
Intuition is important. But intuition alone cannot always be shared. TEN:Cai is not a tool to negate intuition. It is a tool to visualize intuition and make it easier to share. Not a shortcut to skill, but a foundation for improvement through understanding. TEN:Cai was created to enable teachers and learners to look at the same diagram and speak the same language. We aim for TEN:Cai to become a bridge between those who learn techniques and those who teach them, contributing to the future of beauty education.
Brand Overview
"Transform intuition into a common language."
TEN:Cai is an educational tool brand dedicated to solving the challenges of 'teaching and learning' in beauty education, supporting smooth technical succession. It aims to bridge the gap in technical understanding between instructors and students, seniors and juniors, connecting the teacher's 'desire to convey' with the learner's 'desire to know.'
