I’m a female member.

Nice to meet you. My name is Ayano Haneda from SALON. SALON has only 30 members, and all arrangements are completely tailor-made. Even after registration and acceptance, it may take some time before we can make an introduction. We sincerely apologize that, despite accepting you, we were unable to introduce you to anyone. Ayano Haneda

Maezawa from the Business Planning Office here as well. At SALON, the staff ask about a man’s preferences, decide which woman they think best matches those preferences, and arrange the meeting for that day. They take the process very seriously. So once they decide that one particular woman is the best match, they won’t contact the others. SALON has a lineup of women who would be considered Black Class at Universe, so even a woman who seems exceptional by ordinary standards may only just make the cut at SALON. Alternatively, it may simply be that you don’t happen to match any of the specific traits the man is looking for. For example, if they’re looking for a woman to meet a man who likes beautiful legs, someone with even more beautiful legs may be selected instead. I imagine things like that can happen. As for what you can actually do, why not start by asking the staff, “Is there anything I should do?” You could also say something like, “I’d like to ask for your advice. Would it be possible to come in and speak with you?” If you make a good impression when you meet them, the staff may be more inclined to recommend you. So if you get another chance to meet with them, things might turn out differently. That said, they may simply tell you to wait until a man who would like to meet you comes along, and leave it at that. Even so, contacting them may help you stay in the staff’s memory for a while afterward.

I’m Meg, a female member. As for my stance, I’d say: “Wait for the cuckoo to sing.” Personally, I feel like being in the salon is almost the same as being treated as “Secret”? (Sorry if I’m mistaken.) This is just my own speculation, but I feel like offers come when these three things line up: 1. Your attitude toward the staff 2. What you’re looking for 3. What the other person needs Huh? Maybe it’s not all that different from Universe after all. Still, if you’re too picky or keep canceling one setup after another even though the staff went to the trouble of arranging them for you…well, you can probably guess what happens, right? That’s right—you may end up being treated as a “buried Secret,” which is a rather frightening prospect… Questioner, please be careful so that nothing like that happens to you. Magistrate: > Resist the temptation to make an offer I suppose so. These days, online dates are nothing but terrifying to me…I can’t help thinking, “What if my husband shows up?”

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. I understand SALON is about matching people based on what they’re looking for in each other—finding someone who fits the profile they want. I think you just haven’t come across the right match yet. For now, I think all you can do is wait patiently. I hope you enjoy the anticipation of wondering when an offer will come. I’m enjoying the challenge of resisting the temptation to make an offer.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. When I joined Universe, I didn’t know about the Salon, but I was very interested in Black and Secret. Since I’m also quite looks-oriented, I assumed I’d probably end up making offers only to Black women. In reality, though, after joining, I found plenty of wonderful women from Gold through Black. Being Platinum doesn’t necessarily mean someone will be amazing, nor does being Black mean they’ll be even more attractive. It really depends on the individual, as well as your own preferences and compatibility. So I no longer feel any desire to make offers to Black or Secret women. I also had the impression that the Salon was somehow above Black and Secret, but I have zero interest in it. I don’t find it particularly appealing. For both men and women, I think it’s better to wait for a wonderful encounter without being fixated on class. You never know which class someone special might be in. Also, I think most women reach their peak marketability within about a month and a half of joining. Even if they move to the Salon after that, they may no longer have the freshness that makes staff eager to introduce them.
