Overview of the Salary Survey in Tokyo's Beauty Industry

In a recent study conducted by Zenken Co., Ltd., the salary dynamics in Tokyo's beauty industry have been critically analyzed, highlighting the differences between various employment types and sectors. This study, titled "2025 Beauty Industry Salary Survey Based on Minimum Wage," focuses on the wages of beauty professionals listed on the job site 'Bipro' and aims to reflect the compensation landscape as of June 2025.

Methodology of the Survey

Zenken collected data from job postings on the 'Bipro' site, a reputable platform specialized in beauty industry employment opportunities. The survey specifically targeted hairdressers, estheticians, nail technicians, and eyelash technicians in Tokyo. To ensure accurate comparisons, the wage data was broken down by job type, employment type (full-time and part-time), and compared against the minimum wage standards set in Tokyo at 1,163 yen.

The study also established the formula for calculating salaries: For full-time positions, the monthly salary was derived by multiplying the hourly wage by the average number of working days (22) and daily working hours (8). Conversely, the hourly wage for part-time positions was calculated by dividing the monthly salary by the same daily variables, rounding down where necessary.

Results of the Survey

Full-Time Employees

The analysis has revealed the following differences in monthly wages for full-time beauty professionals compared to the minimum wage:

• - Hairdresser: +51,236 yen/month, totaling 255,924 yen
• - Esthetician: +47,180 yen/month, totaling 251,868 yen
• - Nail Technician: +38,212 yen/month, totaling 242,900 yen
• - Eyelash Technician: +25,172 yen/month, totaling 229,860 yen

These figures indicate a significant salary premium over the minimum wage for professionals in the beauty sector, suggesting strong demand and market dynamics fuelling their compensation.

Part-Time Workers

For part-time positions, the monthly wage differences showed smaller yet notable increments:

• - Hairdresser: +220 yen/hour, resulting in 1,383 yen
• - Esthetician: +144 yen/hour, totaling 1,307 yen
• - Nail Technician: +130 yen/hour, totaling 1,293 yen
• - Eyelash Technician: +171 yen/hour, culminating in 1,334 yen

These variations reflect the distinct economic conditions and demand for skilled professionals in the region.

Conclusion
