Unlike in most countries, in Japan, beauty techniques from hairdressing to nailart, are controlled by the country or recognized organizations through national examination or qualifications, assuring the quality and standard of techniques. Furthermore, the Japanese sophisticated beauty designs requiring high skills and creativity have been increasingly winning international renown.
Japanese services, as Japanese hospitality is now world famous, have inspired many industries overseas.
And to make this Japanese beauty industry even more fascinating, the market keeps filling with always more innovative and breakthrough beauty products.
My aim, as a passionate beauty expert with a multi-cultural background, is to inspire the world by spreading Japanese beauty beyond national borders, using my expertise of the industry and different cultures.
