About Yoshida Gakuen Beauty College

Yoshida Gakuen Beauty College has two departments: the Beauty Department and Beauty Advisor Department. The Beauty Department works in educational partnership with Yamano Beauty College, a well-established school in Shibuya, Tokyo, which boasts a history of over 70 years. Our school is Hokkaido’s only institute offering the Pivot Point system, an educational program introduced at more than 2,000 beauty schools in 40 countries that allows students to learn about beauty techniques theoretically and efficiently. The Beauty Advisor Department is Hokkaido’s first one-year college course for training beauty experts. Students learn the make-up and facial treatment skills needed by beauty experts intensively and in a short time, and receive sales training as well as practical training for retail environments.

Departments

Beauty Department With up-to-date facilities and equipment　as well as special lectures by experts from the forefront of the field, students learn the ins and outs of the beauty industry. They acquire knowledge and skills on which to base their careers as well as qualifications while developing a well-balanced character. These three pillars of our educational policy ? knowledge and skills, qualifications and a well-balanced character ? are put into practice in a curriculum centered on practical training.

Beauty Advisor Department The term “beauty advisor” refers to a beauty expert working at a cosmetics shop. The Beauty Advisor Department allows students to take a specialized one-year course to become beauty advisors. Students aim to become specialists equipped with basic skills, such as those for make-up, applied skills to advise customers appropriately according to skin condition and preference, and practical sales abilities.

On-campus/off-campus practical training and lectures

On-campus practical training

Hair cutting With a system using hairpieces and other specialized teaching materials, students learn about hair cutting from the basics in a phased, theoretical and efficient manner, and acquire skills useful for salon work.

Winding Students gain plenty of practice in hair winding, one of the skills needed to pass the national examination, with the ultimate goal of completing winding rods accurately within a target time.

Nail care Students acquire proper nail care skills and aim to pass the 3rd grade license examination of the Japan Nailist Association (JNA). In addition to lectures on nail structures and other topics, students also learn about the flow of the process from table setting to coloring, which is also required to pass the examination.

Off-campus practical training

On-campus competitions Students compete in various areas of skill to tackle the same assignments as those in the national examination for beauticians. The competitions are designed to allow students to experience the tension they would actually feel when sitting the national examination themselves, and serve as a great opportunity for them to demonstrate their abilities under the intense scrutiny of judges. By experiencing these practical environments, students acquire flexibility in showing their true abilities.

Shop training for aspiring beauty advisors With practical training at beauty shops, students gain hands-on experience in the tasks of beauty experts. They can check the results of their learning by writing daily reports and recounting what happened in the shops during debriefing sessions.
