ReFa Saves NT$1,215 in Japan! Comparing 4 Official-Site Prices: The Hair Brush Is Only 59% of the Taiwan Price (2026)

ION CARE BRUSH PREMIUM (RS-BB-00A rose gold, with stand): Japan ¥8,500 ≈ NT$1,765, Taiwan NT$2,980, save NT$1,215 (40.8%). FINGER IRON ST (Japan RE-AS-02A / Taiwan RE-AS-02B white): Japan ¥14,500 ≈ NT$3,010, Taiwan NT$3,900, save NT$890 (22.8%).

BEAUTECH POINT (RE-AH05A pink): Japan ¥14,300 ≈ NT$2,969, Taiwan NT$3,680, save NT$711 (19.3%). SKIM SHAVER (RE-AE02A white): Japan ¥5,280 ≈ NT$1,096, Taiwan NT$1,580, save NT$484 (30.6%). All four figures are official-site list prices as of 2026-09-11.

For anyone already planning to buy a hairbrush, the ION CARE BRUSH PREMIUM alone saves over a thousand NT dollars, making it the most worth fitting into your itinerary; the FINGER IRON ST saves NT$890, good for anyone touching up bangs and ends while traveling.

BEAUTECH POINT is about 35g and USB-rechargeable, the lightest of the four; SKIM SHAVER is about 55g and runs on one AA battery, saving only NT$484 — pick it up if it's convenient, no need to go out of your way for it.

All four figures are taken from ReFa's official Japan and Taiwan product pages, matching model, color, and accessories: the hairbrush includes an approximately 40g dedicated stand, the iron includes a protective cap and USB charging cable, BEAUTECH POINT includes a pouch and charging cable, and SKIM SHAVER comes with a cap remover, cleaning brush, and pouch — batteries not included.

FINGER IRON ST has different part numbers in each market (Japan RE-AS-02A, Taiwan RE-AS-02B) — they're regional versions of the same spec; other colors and standalone units without the stand aren't included in this comparison.

Japan's list price includes tax; Taiwan's official site doesn't state a tax basis, so the price gap is a converted list-price comparison. After adding a 1.5% overseas card fee, the hairbrush still saves about NT$1,189. A traveler tax-free store can save the consumption tax on top of that.

Straighteners have a built-in lithium-ion battery, so check the airline's rules before flying with one; warranty and repairs depend on the region of purchase, and if Taiwan's official site won't service an item bought in Japan, you'll need to ship it back yourself.
