The fair covered four core product zones: Hair, Cosmetics, Nail & Eyelash, and Beauty Equipment, with an additional ‘NEXT’ area introduced for start-up companies. The inaugural edition presented a unique opportunity to showcase newly released products and techniques to the local market, with participants conducting business meetings throughout the venue.
“On the morning of the show’s opening, we staffed the booth with a small team, but the response from visitors to our products was overwhelmingly positive. As a result, we urgently had to increase our staff,” said Mr Akihiro Goji, Vice President of JIBUNDE, INC. JAPAN. He continued, “The exhibition provided good exposure to salon professionals. We will continue to attend all four Beautyworld Japan fairs.”
Following the easing of pandemic restrictions, many companies are reinvigorating their presence at trade fairs. Ms Shiho Omori, Manager of KINUJO INC. expressed: “Because of the pandemic, we stopped attending trade shows. When considering ways to raise our visibility in the beauty industry, we realised that exhibiting at Beautyworld Japan fairs was the optimal choice. We have since participated at the Tokyo and Nagoya fairs and not only has our brand awareness improved, but our products have sold well.”
The inaugural Nagoya show attracted participants that have been exhibiting at other Beautyworld Japan fairs for years. Ms Tomomi Tsuda, Senior Managing Director of WORLD BEAUTY WORKS CO., LTD said: “Our main aim in attending the Nagoya show was to meet new nail salon owners in the Chubu region to expand our business. Most of the visitors we met here are planning to open their own salon businesses; we are therefore confident that we can develop new business relationships in the region.”
The show offered a wide range of seminars and demonstrations covering the latest techniques, management know-how and beauty trends. The seminars were divided into two stages. The Main Stage highlighted facial massage techniques, men’s aesthetics and hair care for beauty professionals eager to learn new trends. At the Event 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.
The next edition will take place from 29 – 31 July 2024 at Portmesse Nagoya. For more details, please visit the official website at https://beautyworld-japan-nagoya.jp.messefrankfurt.com/nagoya/en.html
