'BizRhythm': Connecting New Hairstylists with Salons

On April 18, 2025, a transformative new service, 'BizRhythm', will officially launch, created by High-end Co. Ltd., headquartered in Osaka. This platform aims to significantly reduce the high turnover rate of fresh hairstylists, which currently stands at 36.7%. By effectively connecting new graduates from beauty schools with salons that are actively hiring, this service offers a much-needed solution to a pressing industry issue.

The Challenge of Retention in the Beauty Industry

According to recent data released by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, approximately 36.7% of fresh hairstylists leave their first jobs before reaching three years of employment, with a significant 27.9% transitioning to fields outside the beauty industry. The leading reasons for this turnover include dissatisfaction with salaries (27.8%), personal life changes such as marriage and childbirth (18.8%), and displeasure with work hours (15.6%). At the root of these issues often lies a gap between pre-employment expectations and actual job experiences, which can stem from a lack of information and limited choices in job openings.

Current Job Search Methods

Students graduating from beauty schools typically rely on information provided by their institutions or seek opportunities online and through word-of-mouth. However, these methods often limit their employment options. Basic information listed in salon job postings may not convey the workplace atmosphere or company culture, resulting in students making uninformed decisions without visiting potential employers. This lack of firsthand experience can lead to mismatches, which are prevalent in the industry.

Importance of Internships

A study by the Persol Research Institute highlights that students who do not participate in internships have a turnover rate of 34.1%, compared to just 16.5% for those who engage in internships. Clearly, experiencing the work environment before committing to a job is crucial for retention.

To address these concerns, 'BizRhythm' will offer not just matching services but also opportunities for internships and practical experiences at salons prior to full-time employment.
