A recent salary survey carried out by Zenken, a leading company in the beauty job sector, reveals insightful data regarding wage trends in Tokyo's beauty industry. Conducted in September 2025, this survey utilized job listings from Bipro, a specialized employment site, to extract salary rates for several categories within the beauty sector.

Zenken, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, focused on analyzing salaries for various job roles in the beauty industry, namely beauticians, estheticians, nail artists, and eyelash stylists. The primary goal of this survey was to compare the salaries of these professions against the minimum wage in Tokyo, which stands at 1,163 yen per hour.

According to the survey findings for full-time positions, the average salaries in September 2025 are as follows:

- Beautician: +45,716 yen/month (Total: 250,404 yen)
- Esthetician: +47,441 yen/month (Total: 252,129 yen)
- Nail Artist: +45,118 yen/month (Total: 249,806 yen)
- Eyelash Stylist: +33,074 yen/month (Total: 237,762 yen)

The results indicate that estheticians earn the highest premium over the minimum wage, making this role particularly lucrative compared to others in the same industry.

For part-time positions, the average hourly wages also show a favorable trend:

- Esthetician: +183 yen/hour (Total: 1,346 yen)
- Nail Artist: +190 yen/hour (Total: 1,353 yen)

Methodology of the Survey

The methodology for this extensive salary survey involved extracting data from Bipro's listings specifically targeting beauticians, estheticians, nail artists, and eyelash stylists throughout Tokyo. The study was conducted by the Zenken team during the month of September 2025, ensuring that the data reflects the most current employment trends.

The job listings were analyzed to compute the average salaries based on job types and employment statuses. The estimates for full-time positions were derived using the formula: hourly wage × average workdays (22 days) × average daily hours (8 hours). Meanwhile, for part-time roles, wages were calculated by dividing the monthly salary by the same factors, thereby ensuring accuracy in representing typical earnings.
