The 3rd floor is for customers with reservation to experience the “Premium Self Esthetics Course”. The course is 60 minutes long including counseling by the beauty artist and it is free of charge but limited to only customers considering purchase. The course starts from analyzing the customer’s skin using the Snow Beauty Mirror, a mirror device developed by Panasonic. The mirror uses facial recognition and image processing technologies from security cameras and high resolution sensors from digital cameras to analyze the current skin condition by five categories. The five categories are spots, wrinkles, pores, clarity and nasolabial folds. This technology can also precisely visualize the current and future wrinkles. Based on these results, the beauty artist provides advice in selecting the suitable product and self-care beauty treatment course. Since the 3rd floor is only for customers with reservation, the customers can freely experience and receive detailed lectures about the products and courses. Customers are often surprised to see the current condition of their skin and also satisfied from learning the most effective way to use the beauty appliances.

The private rooms on the 3rd floor accepts up to two people. The rooms are often used with friends or mother and daughter. The private rooms on the 3rd floor accepts up to two people. The rooms are often used with friends or mother and daughter.
