JAPAN · OFFICIAL JUDGE · 2026

SUZUKA OGIHARA

She brings more than 14 years of lash-lift practice to the jury: her perspective spans hands-on service, salon leadership and professional product development.

  • 14years in lash lift
  • 2016founded Eyeleen
  • 2024established Bell LLC

Why she judges

A judge is defined by more than titles. The real test is sustained client work, the ability to turn skill into repeatable standards, and the clarity to assess technique, design and lasting quality.

  • Long-term technical practice

    Fourteen years in lash lift and a salon owner since 2016. Her judgment is grounded in repeated work with eye shapes, lash conditions, asymmetry and retention—not a single showcase image.

  • Standards tested in the market

    Eyeleen’s public listing shows 4.74/5 from 126 reviews in the prior year and identifies the salon as a national Top 20 selection. Her work includes building service standards a team can deliver.

  • From technique to product development

    As a YOURTORUN project member, she worked in product development and supervised Acid Rich Home Care—adding a perspective on lash condition, chemical service, finish and aftercare.

  • Demonstrating and explaining standards

    She has demonstrated for beauty professionals at Beautyworld Japan, taught salon owners and participated in technical exchange in Taiwan—evidence that she can communicate professional judgment.

“Beauty that brightens a client’s everyday life.”

SUZUKA OGIHARA · JUDGING PHILOSOPHY

Her judging lens

  1. Technical control

    Root placement, direction, spacing, grouping, symmetry and cleanliness that hold up under close inspection.

  2. Design fit

    A design should respond to the model’s eye shape and natural lashes, not repeat one look on every pair of eyes.

  3. Health and longevity

    Beyond visual impact, the work should respect lash condition, chemical processing and ongoing wear.

  4. Beauty in daily life

    Mature work looks beautiful not only in a competition photograph, but through the client’s everyday life until the next visit.
