왁싱 국가자격제도 신설 필요성에 관한 인식도 분석 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As the Korean beauty industry continues to specialize, consumer demand and technical advancement in the waxing sector have rapidly increased. However, waxing remains only a minor subject within the national cosmetology certification, resulting in insufficient practical training and qualification management. This situation has raised the need for establishing a dedicated national waxing licensing system.
This study examined waxing practitioners’ perceptions of the necessity of establishing such a system, demographic differences in perception, and the relationship between perceived need and expected effects. A survey of 260 practitioners was analyzed using SPSS 26.0, including descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analyses.
Results showed high levels of licensing awareness (M = 4.36), perceived need for license establishment (M = 4.00), and expected effects (M = 4.26). Significant differences in perceived need were found by education, career experience, income, and job position (p < .001). In addition, both licensing awareness (β = .273, p < .001) and perceived need (β = .596, p < .001) had significant positive effects on expected effects. These findings indicate that establishing a national waxing licensing system may enhance professional competency, standardize service quality, and strengthen consumer trust.
