It’s been a hot topic that 157 hair salons are expected to go bankrupt between January and August 2025 alone. This is the highest number ever (according to TV Asahi news reports), and the beauty industry has entered an era of shakeout. Amidst a wave of downsizing and closures, RELIVE, a hair salon specializing in men with thinning hair, is bucking the trend and continuing to expand. Toward nationwide expansion In October 2025, we will simultaneously open our sixth salon in Aichi and our second salon in Fukuoka. In addition, there have been cases where existing general beauty salons have joined RELIVE franchises and achieved a V-shaped recovery after struggling to attract customers, highlighting the potential of a specialized model. Due to saturation in the beauty salon industry and intensifying price competition, the traditional management model is reaching its limits. Despite the increasing number of hairdressers, retention rates are low, and the number of salons struggling to attract customers is increasing every year. Furthermore, most salons are unable to adequately address men suffering from thinning hair because their services are designed with the assumption that men have a lot of hair. As a result, many men “don’t know what to do” and end up resorting to barbershops or 1000-yen haircut salons. The lack of suitable salons goes beyond a simple beauty issue to become a societal challenge. Features of RELIVE “RELIVE” is a beauty salon specializing in men with thinning hair, based on the philosophy that “you can still be fashionable even if you’re bald.” Expertise: Our hairdressers specializing in thinning hair will tailor a design to each individual based on hair volume and hairline condition.

Example of V-shaped recovery RELIVE not only operates directly, but also contributes to the revitalization of existing hair salons through franchise membership.
