In my last post about “Choosing a School”.

【Learning from Overseas Artists Who Have Recent Information】

【I mentioned that I recommend “learning from Japanese who have learned from overseas artists who have the latest information.】

I mentioned in my last post that “choosing a school” is recommended.

 

About the future of art makeup in Japan


In my personal opinion, I think it is a good idea to [anticipate the future and do something new]!

 

Currently

【The number of art makeup artists is saturated.】

【But the number of clients has remained unchanged.】

 

But the number of clients (customers) has remained flat.

The number of clients has been flat, so they are struggling to get a handful of new clients.

 

In the end, the training business also stuck to big companies and well-known artists. And so on.

 

To get one head out of this battle

【Attract tourists from overseas】

【Provide good techniques to the tourists】

【Build the beauty powerhouse that is Japan】

 

I believe that clinics and salons that can do this will become stronger.

 

There is a little time lag because of Corona,

 

Japan is now a global country where people can get good things at a reasonable price, which Japan used to feel in Korea and Thailand.

Japan is now seen as “a good tourist destination where you can get good things at cheap prices.

 

I also think “Japan is so cheap” when I live abroad.

When I went back to Japan temporarily, I bought a lot of stuff, thinking that I could understand how the Chinese people felt.

 

The Dutch consumption tax is 21% (10% on groceries), and the current price of 1 euro is about 150 yen. (10% on groceries).

 

Let's say there is a piece of clothing sold at UNIQLO in Japan for 1,000 yen.

In Japan, you can buy it for 1100 yen including consumption tax, but at UNIQLO in the Netherlands, the same item costs 10 euros, which converts to about 1500 Japanese yen, or about 1815 yen including consumption tax. (+715 yen)

 

If the amount is larger, for example

500,000 yen, the difference between the purchase in Japan and the purchase in the Netherlands will be 250,000 yen, even without consumption tax.

 

The big companies that made Japan prosperous in the postwar period have lost momentum, so now they are trying to attract wealthy people by focusing on the tourism business at the national level.

 

This means that art and make-up artists have a ray of hope!

 

I believe that clinics and artists who can respond to the needs of those who come to them saying, “I can get cheap and high quality art make-up” will be able to get out of the competition for new customers.

 

I predict that such an era will come.

 

The technology that is needed there is


  • English (Google Translate may help)

  • Knowledge and skills in skin, pigment (pigment) and machine techniques for diverse ethnic groups

  • Techniques to shorten treatment time

  • Techniques to fix the pigment in one session

  • TATOO technology

 

Personally, I think.

 

By the way, I do not want to be an art make-up artist all the time in the future.

 

I would like to be able to work as an art make-up artist for patients who are undergoing painful treatments, which I saw when I was a nurse at a university hospital.
