Student Support



<Support for Beauty Vocational Schools>

KINUJO has launched the "KINUJO Scholarship Student" program to support students aspiring to become hairstylists. In its inaugural year, 2025, we have partnered with the Sanko Gakuen Educational Institution (including Tokyo Beauty Art College and 12 other schools nationwide) and plan to expand this support further in 2026.
KINUJO has long provided wide-ranging support to beauty students, assisting with career development through job fairs and special lectures for junior high and high school students.
Going forward, we will continue to expand initiatives such as scholarship programs for students facing financial difficulties and deepen our collaboration with students and vocational schools aspiring to join the beauty industry, thereby contributing to the industry's future growth.

<KBS (Keio Business School) Chairman's Cup>

On Sunday, July 27, 2025, we sponsored the business competition "KBS KINUJO CUP 2025," held at the Kyoseikan on Keio University's Hiyoshi Campus.
At Keio University's MBA program, which has produced business leaders not only in Japan but worldwide, multiple groups of KBS students gave presentations. Our company supported the event through sponsorship funding and also participated as judges.
KINUJO will continue to actively support future leaders who will guide society and organizations.

Contribution to the Beauty Industry

<Beauty Reality Show: Salon no Tora>

Salon no Tora is a competitive presentation program set in the beauty industry.
Any topic related to beauty can be presented. One "challenger" pitches their skills or product strengths to five "tigers," engaging in an intense battle to secure funding and agreements.
As the official sponsor of the program, KINUJO supports the development of future talent who will lead the beauty industry.

Bringing Japanese Beauty to the World

<Bringing Japanese Talent to the World>

Japanese individuals who excel on the global stage convey the beauty of Japanese culture and the spirit of its people through their dedication and achievements. Their success garners admiration and respect beyond borders, proudly representing Japan’s esteemed reputation worldwide. Beauty is born from a beautiful heart and soul. Embodying and promoting the concept of "inner beauty" that KINUJO has championed since its inception, KINUJO supports the "beauty" of Japan as it shines on the world stage.

Ko
Free-Cut Hairstylist

Born in Canada in 1990, Ko spent his early childhood in France, where he learned both English and French.
After gaining seven years of experience as a hairstylist in Japan, he moved to Australia and developed a desire to connect with people around the world through "language" and "beauty."
Rooted in this passion, he began his "Free-Cut" activities—offering haircuts to people he met during his travels as a way to share his feelings and create meaningful connections. From 2019 to 2021, he completed a round-the-world journey, providing haircuts to those in need regardless of their environment or circumstances.
In 2022, he founded AVES English, an English school for the beauty industry, in order to expand the possibilities for hairstylists.
Today, as a free-cut hairstylist, English coach, interpreter, and speaker, he continues to travel to more than 50 countries, sharing with the world how "language and beauty create connection."

Refugee Support

<Humanitarian Aid Activities>

In April 2022, we visited three cities in Poland: Warsaw, Krakow, and Katowice. Our support activities ranged from delivering essential items and mattresses to shelters to assisting large refugee families with rental cost problems. In Katowice, we organized a four-day food distribution event during the Easter holiday, bringing smiles to many children's faces.

This humanitarian aid activity was made possible with the cooperation of the following people residing in Poland.

Thanks Message

During this humanitarian aid activity, we met a family who had fled from Mariupol. The Andriy family said, "Both my wife and I found jobs in Poland, but we can't find a place to accommodate our family of five. We can pay the rent, but we can't afford the initial costs." To bring some joy to the Andriy family, we covered their initial rental costs and provided them with a KINUJO hairdryer. Later, we received a message from the Andriy family through an interpreter from the support organization.

Message from the Interpreter

Dear KINUJO,

I am Katarzyna Pawlak, a Polish translator and a volunteer with the Buddhist aid organization Tzu Chi. I helped Mr. Andriy from Mariupol find an apartment. Mr. Andriy also volunteers with Tzu Chi, helping fellow Ukrainians in need daily. I want to extend my utmost respect and admiration to you and KINUJO for helping Mr. Andriy and his family. I believe your generous support has helped this family regain hope, smiles, and trust in humanity. Thanks to this aid, they will always pronounce the word "Japan" with gratitude and admiration. They would like to personally thank you and your company in a special video. Both Ukrainians and Poles are deeply moved by the wonderful support Ukrainian refugees are receiving from Japan and its people. Please accept my expressions of respect and admiration. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,

Katarzyna Pawlak
