For Foreign Nationals Wishing to Obtain a Beauty License in Japan

The requirements for foreign nationals to enroll in a Japanese beauty school and take the Japan Beauty License Exam are as follows:

1. Obtaining a Residence Status

To enroll in a beauty school in Japan, an appropriate residence status is required. Typically, students need to obtain a “student” visa if they wish to enroll as international students. This visa can be obtained from Japan’s Immigration Bureau.

2. Japanese Language Proficiency

All classes and the national beauty license exam are conducted in Japanese. Therefore, a certain level of Japanese proficiency is required for foreign students to enroll. Many beauty schools require proof of passing the JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) at N2 level or higher for admission.

3. Japanese High School Diploma or Equivalent Education

To enroll in a beauty school in Japan, a Japanese high school diploma or an equivalent level of education is required. Whether foreign education is considered equivalent to a Japanese high school diploma is determined by each beauty school.

4. Financial Support

International students need to have financial support to cover tuition and living expenses. Before enrollment, students are typically required to submit proof of financial ability to pay for tuition and living costs.

5. Graduation from a Japanese Beauty School

To take the Japan Beauty License Exam, one must graduate from a beauty school approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare. Foreign beauty school diplomas do not qualify for the Japanese national exam, so students must complete the required curriculum at a beauty school in Japan.

By fulfilling these conditions, foreign students can enroll in beauty schools in Japan and become eligible to take the Japan Beauty License Exam.

After obtaining your beauty license, Na4’ offers an instructor training course. This course allows you to teach others how to obtain a Japanese beauty license in your native language or English.
