Abstract
In 2022, the age of adulthood will be lowered, making it possible for younger women to purchase beauty medical care and aesthetic services. Therefore, consumer education is necessary to help young women evaluate the potential dangers and make informed choices. In this study, we researched awareness among young women of the potential dangers of beauty services and created an information leaflet. The contents of the leaflet were based on a survey of 510 female high school students and explored service knowledge, awareness, and behavior. Survey results revealed the need to,(1), raise awareness of the real dangers these services pose, (2) convey basic information about contracts, consumer behavior and rights, (3), and notify people there are advice desks to help consumers protect themselves and avoid service related problems.
