New Guarantee Service for Hair Removal Salons

In an exciting development for the hair removal industry, Nihon Hoshou has officially signed a fundamental agreement with Clear Co., Ltd., which operates men's hair removal salons such as メンズクリア (Men's Clear) and STLASSH. As of May 15, 2025, this partnership aims to provide customers with assurance as they undergo hair removal treatments.

The collaboration is significant, especially in light of recent reports highlighting the management struggles faced by many hair removal salons and medical hair removal clinics in Japan. Customers have unfortunately experienced situations where treatments were unavailable, and refunding their treatment fees became impossible. This has raised valid concerns about the stability of these services and the difficulty customers face in discerning trustworthy salons.

To tackle this issue, Nihon Hoshou is partnering with Clear, a member of its group company Nexus Card, to explore the launch of a guarantee service. This service will be attached to clients' hair removal contracts and will not impose any financial burden on them. The aim is to ease the anxiety of customers regarding potential salon bankruptcies while ensuring they can confidently receive treatments.

Clear has expressed its commitment to its clientele, emphasizing its corporate philosophy of 'Changing customers' destinies through hair removal.' As it celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2023, the company views hair removal not merely as a cosmetic procedure but as a form of self-investment. They recognize the importance of building trust with their clients and are determined to create a new standard of protection in the hair removal service sector.

The forthcoming service is anticipated to roll out in July 2025, providing an additional layer of security for clients who choose Clear's hair removal salons. This initiative aims to not only raise the standards of trust and safety in the hair removal industry but also to help alleviate customer fears surrounding the operational difficulties of hair removal clinics and salons, which have become increasingly prevalent in societal discourse.

Comments from Nihon Hoshou

A representative from Nihon Hoshou commented on the initiative, acknowledging the rising concerns among consumers due to the frequent reports of economic hardships in the hair removal sector. As customers can find it challenging to gauge a salon's financial health, having a robust guarantee service will become an essential tool for consumer protection moving forward.

Comments from Clear

Clear's leadership heralds this agreement as a turning point for the hair removal industry, driven by a mission to establish a collaborative consumer protection scheme that involves monetary guarantees. This agreement signals a joint commitment to revitalizing trust in the hair removal sector.

Overall, the agreement between Nihon Hoshou and Clear represents a proactive step towards creating a sustainable and trustworthy market for hair removal services, encouraging customers to invest in their self-care without fear of economic uncertainties.
