Yumiko Yoshino

Yumiko Yoshino
  • K.K. A.S Company representative director
  • K.K. Terrasus representative director
  • Yumi Biotechnology (Shanghai) Ltd. representative
  • PTIA representative chair
  • Spa Wellness Japan Association member

Yumiko Yoshino boasts a 25-year-long career in the esthetic industry spanning salon management, salon operation, employee education, and technical instruction. After working as a music teacher, she married and gave childbirth, and was feeling troubled by her spoiled health and figure during parenting when she encountered esthetic care. Moved by the results—it restored her health and left her figure more toned than in her youth—Yoshino decided to deliver the magical experience of esthetic services to others, and opened the first Lunasia salon in Kyoto in 1995.

She established A.S. Company in 2003, and currently operates five salons in Kyoto and Osaka, where she focuses on fostering human resources and has produced many estheticians.

In a rare move in the esthetic industry, where services are generally performed by machine, Yoshino has compiled an original menu based on manual treatments, incorporating the approach and techniques of Eastern medicine and realizing not merely beauty on the surface but beauty that comes with good health. The methods she has developed for regaining the body’s overall balance and maintaining beautiful skin, posture, and figure include the Yumiko Slimming Method, established through 25 years of experience. Having treated a total of 250,000 customers in the course of her career, Yoshino continues to enjoy popularity.

In addition to salon management, she engages in the planning and sales of original products.

He later took a short-term study abroad course at a beauty school in California, obtained certification as a general agent in Japan for American products, and was engaging in this business when he met his partner in Taiwan and began salon operation and product manufacturing there.

Sasaki has acquired skills in osteopathy and developed a new set of health and beauty techniques.

Having built connections in the esthetic, hair, and “refresh salon” circles, he took part in efforts to expand a business of large-scale beauty salon complexes, and came to perform services in all areas of the beauty industry.

His work with Jupiter Shop Channel started with OEM production and guest appearances, led to the development of beauty products and the production of themed programs, and culminated in his hit creations.

When helping to reconstruct a friend’s salon, Sasaki visited Shanghai and was fascinated by the potentials of the beauty business in China.

He relocated there in 2008, made inroads in the Chinese beauty industry, and today serves as a bridge between Japan and the rest of Asia as China representative of the Asia International Beauty Association (AIBA).

Sasaki continues to strive for the growth of the beauty industry in both Japan and China.
