40％ are operating at a loss．．．Beauty salon bankruptcies are on the rise． The reality is that the average customer spending is decreasing due to an increased desire to save money．
▼ 40% in the red! Further bankruptcies and closures Although the coronavirus pandemic has subsided and customer numbers are on the rise, many beauty salons are struggling financially, and looking at the performance of beauty salons in fiscal 2023, about 40% of them are in the red. According to a survey by Yano Research Institute, the hair and beauty salon market is predicted to be 2.93 trillion yen in 2024. The breakdown is as follows: barber salon market is 594.6 billion yen, and beauty salon market is 1.4984 trillion yen. By the way, according to statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, as of the end of March 2022, there were 264,223 beauty salons, 561,475 hairdressers, 114,403 barber shops, and 206,747 barbers. Since there is generally little capital and it is easy to open a business, there are low barriers to entry and a large number of stores, so competition is fierce. There are also other adverse operational factors, such as rising prices of beauty supplies due to the weak yen, and soaring labor and utility costs. Since the end of coronavirus relief funds, cash flow has reached its limits and an increasing number of stores have gone bankrupt or closed down. Stores that had been surviving by receiving zero-zero loans have now begun full-scale repayments, and stores whose sales have been slow to recover are now unable to repay. It seems likely that we will see more hair salons that are weak in terms of revenue and finances go bankrupt or go out of business in the future. ▼ Hair salons used to be supported by regular customers
In the past, hair salons had regular customers who requested a specific hairdresser. Nowadays, customers have strict criteria for selecting a store, with low prices, good finishes, and the store’s atmosphere and customer service being the deciding factors. It is difficult to retain fixed customers, so they seem to be racking their brains trying to secure a fluid customer base. Since customers spend about 1.5 hours in the salon for a cut or color, the atmosphere of the salon is important, but the most important thing is to get the job done as cheaply as possible, and customers seem to be desperately searching reservation sites and apps for coupons that offer good deals in terms of discounts and additional services. When selecting a hairdresser, whether or not a nomination fee is required is an important factor in choosing a salon. According to the Beauty Census (2023), the average price per female customer at a beauty salon remained flat at 7,293 yen compared to the previous year, and the number of visits per year is showing signs of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at 4.32 times (excerpt).
Poor Japan – people with no money who can even go to the hair salon. This is news that symbolizes Japan, which is only getting poorer under the hellish LDP-Komeito government.
You can tell at a glance what a modern Japanese person is like – messy hair, rough skin, dragging their feet while wearing Uniqlo clothes – poverty makes people dull, lol.
>>14 Uniqlo is very popular in China The ones who are feeling lifeless are the Chinese who have been targeted by the Chinese secret police and are facing a bleak future.

There are too many dentists and beauty salons in the city. The only thing is that the labor force is constantly coming in from vocational schools, so there’s an oversupply.
When I try to make a reservation two days in advance on a reservation site, I can’t get a reservation at some salons I’ve been to. Is it because the area is experiencing population decline or there are not enough young hairdressers because they have multiple salons?
No, I do it myself. After some trial and error with all the equipment, I was able to achieve a stable fade cut using a three-way mirror, a shaver, two types of clippers, and a pair of razor scissors. I haven’t been to a barber in 20 years.
I originally had a two-block haircut, but I stopped going because of COVID-19. I realized that it was enough to cut the front and sides myself and have my wife cut the rest with a pair of scissors.
Hair salons are like host clubs, they inflate the price with talk, and when my daughter started going I found out that the starting price was 30,000 yen per session.
There are way too many dentists. How many of these are there in front of one station? I wish they’d go out of business. And also those phony chiropractors.
