NETSTARS Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Tsuyoshi Ri; hereinafter “NETSTARS”) is proud to announce that it has officially launched services for the Salon de Net for LINE application as of January 4, 2022. This reservation and account page service is linked with LINE, designed for beauty salons, and has been developed in partnership with HyperSoft Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hiroyuki Shinchi ; hereinafter “HyperSoft”), a company that develops and sells point-of-sale (POS) systems and self-checkout registers for beauty salons.
■ Background
With the spread of official beauty salon LINE accounts and the future expansion and potential of official LINE accounts, HyperSoft has released and launched services for Salon de Net for LINE, a reservation and account page service linked to LINE and HyperSoft’s own Salon de Net POS point-of-sale register service.While NETSTARS had already been linked with HyperSoft’s Smooth Self self-checkout system for beauty salons for the purpose of QR payment, this new initiative brings the two together to collaborate on developing a mini-application using the StarPay-mini platform.Alongside HyperSoft, we will promote the use of LINE for beauty salons, strengthen our business alliance, and support the future expansion strategy of this service.
