「In January, we opened Kasuga, the first location of “Imatori,” a hair-treatment-only salon based on the concept “Good hair, every day.” Imatori is a new type of hair-treatment-only salon designed to achieve extensive labor savings through cashless self-checkouts, automatic shampoo machines and other equipment. It provides salon treatments equivalent to those offered at conventional hair salons for ¥1,500 per visit (¥1,650 including tax). At present, progress is broadly in line with expectations, and we will continue opening additional locations while closely monitoring developments.」
Separate from the existing hair salon business, the company launched a hair-treatment-only salon combining labor-saving equipment with low prices and opened its first location in January 2024.
