  2. 02

    Get known and fill open slots

    A beauty creator who lives nearby gets your name to viewers within easy reach of the salon.

  3. 03

    Try an entry point beyond listing fees and discounts with a few small creators, without a large fixed cost.

  4. 04

    Agree in the contract what you can use, and the posts can go on your own account, the screen in the salon and in ads.

FAQ

Questions we are often asked by salons

How do you handle the stealth marketing rules?

The rules apply not to the poster but to the salon, as the party involved in deciding what is shown. Which is why the contract states that both the advertiser and the nature of the relationship must appear in the post.

Do the medical advertising guidelines apply to hair and beauty salons?

Hair salons and beauty salons themselves are outside their direct scope. But posts covering medical procedures at a partner clinic do fall inside, so we separate the services before casting.

We think there's no point reaching people outside our catchment.

You're right. At the candidate stage we check how far followers' locations and ages overlap with your catchment, and we judge their real pull on average views over the last one to three months.

How is pricing decided?

It depends on the follower size and number of influencers, the number of posts and the scope of secondary use (use in ads). We present a quote with the candidate list, so you can decide while adjusting the scale.

What budget can we start on?

A small entry point, one video with one or two creators, is fine. The cost varies with the number of creators, the platforms and the scope of secondary use, so we quote once we know the objective and the catchment.

We're worried about staff and other clients appearing in the footage.

What may be filmed and when is agreed in writing before casting. On the day we attend and manage the logistics, and we check the post before publication. Any moment you would rather keep faces out of can be covered in POV from the chair. See POV video for hair and beauty salons as well.

Can the influencers' posts be used as ads?

They can. Secondary-use permission is written into the plan down to the platform, period and region, so delivery confined to your catchment is possible.

Can we hire you as an influencer casting agency?

Our influencer PR service is influencer marketing built around influencer casting. We handle the whole package, from shortlisting and negotiating with creators to directing the shoot, checking PR disclosures, measuring results, and turning the best-performing posts into ads.

Which company runs this service?

TripClear Inc., based in Shinsen-cho, Shibuya, Tokyo. Our core is social media management and vertical short-form video production, and we support hair and beauty salons. For the company profile, see Company.

Do you have case studies or a track record with hair and beauty salons?

Our case studies with hair and beauty salons are introduced on the social media management page. Our track record across industries is collected in Works.

How do you handle the stealth marketing rules and the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations?

Every post carries a PR label and is published in line with the stealth marketing rules under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations. In influencer marketing we check the copy and the labelling before posting, and make sure the description of the product or service stays within the facts.

Are you used to working in the beauty industry?

We manage accounts for hair and beauty salons on an ongoing basis. From presentation that leads to nominated bookings to posts for recruiting staff, we have been through the usual sticking points of the beauty industry.
