the coolest city has the highest
population of young adults in all of
Japan not only that but the population
of women actually outnumbers the
population of men as a direct result of
this in fukuoka city we tend to take our
fashion and personal upkeep very
seriously this is why Fukuoka is home to
more hairstylist nail artists and other
aesthetician jobs than anywhere in Japan
one popular beauty practice among
Japanese women right now is getting
eyelash extensions my eyelashes are
already naturally pretty long but for
the sake of adventure I really want to
give this a shot
[Music]
discrimination repeat the esthetician
uses a special glue to stick eyelash
extensions to your own it takes about an
hour or so to get done but the process
is very clean speaking a thorough since
all you need to do is lie down and keep
your eyes closed it's not unusual for
customers to fall asleep during this
process it's actually really relaxing
[Music]
and they're done I feel like someone
attached the wings of a butterfly to my
eyelids but I'm not done just yet while
I'm here I want to get my nails done too
put it I never used to do my nails in
Canada but I really like how simple the
process is here in Japan the designs are
cute and it's so easy to customize them
to suit your own personal style and
that's really important
[Music]
and as I have how I connected it all I
got but maybe 30 she could have either
should've grabbed a team I feel so so
after a day at the salon do you see a
difference I feel like the eyelashes
give my face and overall feminine and
doe-eyed appearance so I can see how
they're really popular here I like my
nails the most though I feel like it's a
really subtle way to express yourself
there's something really uplifting about
looking down at your own hands and
thinking they're really cute next time
you come to Fukuoka maybe you should
drop by a salon yourself to learn more
