WHY
Why we are not
a contract-only salon
I was nobody in particular. Meeting the work of a hairdresser turned my life around completely
So I want a salon to be where hairdressers grow. Not just lending a chair, but staying with you until you grow: that is what a salon is for
Beauty work changes lives. As a beauty company, we give that back to society
Takemi Sueno, CEO, hanico Inc.
| As a SEAM employee | After going independent | |
|---|---|---|
| Clients | New clients from the salon | Your own clients |
| Income | From ¥300,000 + 50% commission | By contract |
| Training | In work hours, weekly group session | At your own pace |
| Days off, insurance | Two days off weekly, social insurance, parental leave | On your own |
| Relationship | As colleagues | As fellow owners |
Once you have grown, independence is an option
When you can fully stand on your own, you can sign a contract or rent a chair, and we keep working together as owners
FUTURE
Shaping the future
of hair and skin, together
SEAM is now developing its own hair care and skin care. Your sense, from touching guests’ hair and skin every day, is the surest place to start
Hair care developmentTurn the textures you wished for at the chair and the basin into products
Skin care developmentScalp and face are one skin. Bring what a spanist’s hands know into product design
The shop floor and how we share itHow products are chosen and what guests say is missing, turned into the next bottle
You will not start in development alone. While working in the salon or the shop, anyone who wants to take part can

How we think at SEAM
Skills that don’t raise pay, no bookings without clients, practice on days off, nowhere to return after children: we have removed these reasons to quit one by one, through how the company works
SEAM is moving from choosing among 197 brands to making its own. The doubts of people who touch guests’ hair every day are the surest starting point
