The fair showcased an expansive range of products and services for salons, hotels, spas and retail business across 13 product zones:  Cosmetics, Beauty equipment, Creative hair, The Tokyo Nail Forum, Eyelash, Business support, Academic, Wellness & Beauty, OEM & Packaging, Make-up, Spa & Wellness and the newly created Fem more and Tasty zones. The Tokyo Nail Forum was held in Hall 1 and covered the latest products, presenting top-class nail art techniques through various stage events and demonstrations.

“Compared to other exhibitions we’ve attended, the interest from visitors in our products here is higher and the response has exceeded our expectations. We are confident that we can close some deals later,” said Ms Yukari Seki, Director of Diana Co., Ltd., a long-time exhibitor of the fair, showcasing femtech products in the Fem more zone. “We are very satisfied with the outcome, so we will continue to exhibit at Beautyworld Japan Tokyo.”

First-time exhibitors were also impressed with the results. Mr Atsuki Sugiyama, Director of TEAtriCO Co., Ltd., expressed: “We joined the show this year to increase our brand exposure and meet our new target customers such as aestheticians and salon owners. The visitor flow was overwhelming, and we were able to develop business relationships with our targets. We are looking forward to returning for the 2024 edition.”

Both visitors and exhibitors felt that the beauty industry had recovered from the pandemic, and many were eager to develop new business opportunities. “Our booth was better attended than last year,” said Mr Shinya Suzuki, Managing Director of BH Co., Ltd. The response from visitors has been outstanding, and we even concluded business deals with some overseas companies. We have already decided to participate in all four Beautyworld Japan shows, including the upcoming show in Nagoya in July.”

The show offered a wide range of seminars and demonstrations covering the latest techniques, management know-how and beauty trends. The newly added Fem more Stage featured nine seminars including the latest information on the femtech market. Meanwhile, the Esthetic Stage highlighted facial massage techniques, men’s esthetics and hair care for beauty professionals eager to learn new trends. At the Hair and Nail Stage, industry experts shared their knowledge and techniques with visitors seeking to apply these insights in their salons. Many seminars exceeded their capacities, with visitors overflowing into standing room.
