While living in Australia, I had to return to Japan to give birth due to health concerns during my pregnancy.
Through this experience, I firsthand understood the challenges women face during different life stages.
During my recovery period, I had the opportunity to reflect on my career and felt a strong desire to be on the healing side, leading me to become a therapist.
At a major salon, I found fulfillment in performing multiple treatments daily. However, my desire to spend more time focusing on each client individually grew stronger.
This inspired me to establish a private salon with a limit of two clients per day. By eliminating the pressure of frequent client turnover, I can ensure a truly relaxing and unhurried experience.
As my salon grew, requests from clients’ family members and partners increased.
To accommodate these requests, I began accepting male clients by referral.
Initially, my services focused solely on esthetic treatments, but due to high demand, I incorporated waxing treatments and became a fully certified official salon for WAX TAKUMIDOU, covering all body areas.
Popular services such as beauty treatments combined with facial waxing or eyebrow design have been well-received by my clients.
In summer, men’s leg waxing is particularly popular.
I use high-quality wax that is safe for children as young as 7 years old, leading to an increase in parent-child visits.
For those visiting as a pair, a comfortable waiting space is available.
At &PRIER, it’s not just about technical skills—it’s about delivering a deeply relaxing and high-quality healing experience.
It has been 15 years since I started working in the beauty industry.
Clients come not only from the Kansai region but also from faraway places.
At first, I felt sorry for making them travel such long distances, but they told me,
"&PRIER offers unique value that cannot be found just anywhere."
It seems that my salon provides a comfortable atmosphere with enjoyable conversation and a sense of security.
Many clients have shared that finding a trusted esthetician is difficult, and they don’t mind traveling far as long as they find someone they can rely on.
Hearing these words motivates me to continue delivering the best service possible.
