I have a question about The Salon.

This is Takei from the staff. The eligibility requirements say applicants must be no older than 40, but you can still apply, so please go ahead and give it a try!

Thank you for your question. I’ll answer this one as well. > 1. Is my understanding correct that I can’t apply for any of the auditions currently listed? That appears to be correct. With Universe Club, you may still be able to interview or register even if you fall within the age range stated on the official website, so I believe those figures are fake. However, with THE SALON, I was told that the stated age requirements are accurate. That said, if you apply, your enthusiasm might be enough to get you invited to an interview—but it seems unlikely that you would pass. (You’d have to pay ¥200,000, after all.) > 2. If it’s a regular THE SALON interview rather than an audition, would I be able to apply, regardless of whether I pass? If you’re asking whether you can apply regardless of the outcome, then yes. The regular interview doesn’t specify an upper age limit, so you can apply. I also checked with the staff just to be sure, and they said you can take the interview. However, although the requirements are more relaxed than for the audition, they’re still considerably stricter than at Universe Club, so I think the chances of passing are extremely low. That’s because even women in their 20s and 30s are being rejected left and right. Even so, there are women who are considered “beautiful witches,” so the interview door is still open. If you’re confident, I think it’s worth applying for the interview.

1. Since it’s explicitly written there, you probably can’t. 2. For those who aren’t applying for the audition, there’s no upper age limit listed, so I think you can apply. That said, you should really think about the fact that you’re over 40 yet asking questions like a student—or at best, a recent graduate. Taken on its own, this makes you seem like your IQ is barely above 50.
