-
Beauty Salon
We operate hair salons nationwide in Japan. We believe our hair service brings joy to all our customers through our professional services. We are proud that Agu. Group's hairdressers can earn higher salaries than the market average and that they are free to decide when and how long to work in their salons. We also fully support our senior hairdressers becoming new franchisees when they are ready to take on owning a business.
-
Franchise
We provide back-office services to our franchisees, including accounting, HR and admin operations. Agu. Group is very active in sharing our know-how, in order for our franchise owners and hairdressers to succeed, through unique educational programs. We occasionally sell out an existing hair salon to a new franchisee in order to kick-start their business, launching with a fully-furnished salon, customers and hairdressers. It enables new franchisees to scale the business much faster than starting it all from scratch.
-
Interior Design
Our Interior Design business is critical in maintaining our salon opening pace, the fastest in the industry. We are able to maintain our pace because we are capable of "doing it all" within the resources of Agu. Group. We also provide interior design services to clients outside of Agu. Group and the hair salon industry so that we can keep up with the latest interior trends in general.
