Pink Salon – CONTENT
Name of the Store
As well as the other kinds of industries in Kabuk-cho, pink salons also had the name of the store on their signboards. However, the size of the store name is not as large as the signboards of fashion health. In fact, this is the signage of the pinks salon, Baby Boo, in Kabuki-cho. The size of the name, Baby Boo, is only about fifteen centimeters.
Price
The price is also written in the signboard as well as the signboards of other industries. The pricing of the store usually differs by the time that the daytime is affordable, and gets expensive during the nighttime. This shows the fact that relatively many people come to the salon late at night compared to nighttime. This signage of Baby Boo shows the price it costs “at that moment” in larger text than the name of the store so that the customers can easily understand how much they cost. Also, it is “完全前金制” , which means that the customers only have to pay before the service. This leads the customers to feel safe because the business would not require for an additional fee after the service.

Discounts
In addition to the pricing, many signboards of pink salons in Kabuki-cho offered some discounts on their services. For instance, one of the most famous pink salons, Baby Boo, in Kabuki-cho has a group discount, and student discount in their services. Also, by bringing the name cards, it will also be a discount in this shop. From this affordable price and additional discounts from the price, it can be assumed that Kabuki-cho is also a battlefield of pink salons.

Explanation of the Girls inside
Since there is no image of the girls on the signboards, some signboards of the pink salon have the explanation of the girls inside. On the signboards, it is stated that “There are many girls in here such as kawaii (cute) type girls, natural and pure-like girls, gorgeous princesses like girls with a great smile, and energetic gyal (ギャル）type girls who are aged between eighteen to twenty-nine, whose the best match of your requirement ” Instead of the images, the store is trying to tell the specific characteristics of the girls, and attract the customers.
Phone Number
Most of the signboards have the telephone number on signboards. Writing the phone numbers of the store, the business is trying to protect the privacy of the customers since they can avoid being kicked out of the pink salon after entering by checking the empty seat beforehand. Also, in order to avoid creating a dangerous atmosphere in the place, they are writing the phone number so that the customers can feel safe by calling the store beforehand. Also, they usually have the URL of the website together so that they can search for the girls they want to choose.
