About departments and courses

I am not sure which department to choose. Is it possible to change departments after enrollment?

It is possible to transfer from Department of Hairstylist or Department of Hairdesign & Makeup when advancing to the next grade. However, it is not possible to transfer to Department of Hairstylist or Department of Hairdesign & Makeup due to the number of hours designated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

I want to become a hair and makeup artist. Which is better: Department of Hairstylist, Department of Hairdesign & Makeup, or Department of Total Beauty?

Nowadays, scissors are used even for cutting eyebrows, and more salons are preferring candidates who have a national beautician's license, so we recommend Department of Hairstylist or Department of Hairdesign & Makeup.

If you want to become a hair and makeup artist with a wide range of knowledge not only about hair and makeup but also about beauty, we recommend Department of Total Beauty!

In the first semester of your first year, everyone will study the same subjects without being divided into courses, and you will not actually be divided into courses until the second semester of your first year, so it is okay if you have not decided before you enroll.

During the first semester, experience a variety of classes and choose the knowledge and skills you want to acquire for the future!

I'm not sure which course to choose. When should I choose my course?

Every department has a survey in June of the first year to determine students' preferences. After enrollment, you can hear about the industry from upperclassmen and try out some classes before making your decision!

What about kids with sensitive skin?

Basically, we will tell you about the manufacturers of cosmetic teaching materials that are relatively gentle on the skin and are used in schools.

If you are still worried, you can bring your own cosmetics with you.

Get counseling from your teacher and ask for advice!

I'm clumsy, is that okay?

It's not a problem. Many students enroll with such worries, but most of them work hard and overcome them!

What are the benefits of an accredited school?

Accredited schools are approved by the prefectures.

Do I have to graduate from beauty school to become a cosmetologist?

Unless you graduate from a beauty stylist training facility designated by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, you will not be eligible to take the national beauty stylist examination. (If you do not qualify, you cannot become a beauty stylist.)

There are three types of hairdressing training facilities:

Daytime course → 2 years of study
Evening course → 2 years of study
Correspondence course → 3 years of study
