Miss Shiseido
Who is Miss Shiseido?
She isn’t just one person; the Miss Shiseidos are a group of experts who paved the way for the beauty ambassadors.
1934 was the beginning of the Miss Shiseido beauty experts. Dressed in Western-style designer uniforms rather than traditional kimonos, they were trained in beauty techniques, cosmetic science, public speaking, fashion, and culture.
They traveled all over Japan with their knowledge to present the value of Shiseido products — showcasing the latest beauty rituals through skits called ‘Theatre of Modern Beauty’, and offering audience members personalised cosmetic consultations at the end of the show.
The spirit of Omotenashi in our point of sales began with Miss Shiseido, as well as our commitment to launching and supporting women’s careers in Japan.
The “Miss Shiseido” programme now has more than 20,000 female beauty experts in 85 countries.
