【About horsehair skirt (马尾裙) petticoat】

A horsehair petticoat (马尾裙) is a petticoat that is worn under the skirt to give it a puffy appearance. This kind of petticoat came from Korea Joseon at that time.

❗ However, it would be wrong to say that the entire outfit above is Korean origin as someone claim.

In Ming Dynasty record "寓圃杂记/Yu Pu Notes" By Wang Kai王锜 emphasizes that this style of clothing  (马尾裙horsehair petticoat) is a kind of ominously strange clothing , which is what the ancients called "服妖(A derogatory term that describes people wearing weird clothing is bad symbol)". It is only popular among rich and uneducated people, and will let decent people look down on, the original words are " 然系此者惟粗俗官员、暴富子弟而已，士夫甚鄙之，近服妖也 "

Horsehair petticoats are popular in Beijing. Demand was low at first, and local production was impossible and unnecessary. They are all imported from Korea Joseon. When it becomes popular, even men like to wear horsehair petticoats under their robes, and the demand and market will naturally increase, so localized production began. But the number of horses is limited, and the most important raw material, horse hair, is not easy to obtain.

So some people went to the army camp to steal the horse hair of the army horse, which made the army horse look thin and bad.

❗In the Early Emperor Hongzhi era,the officials reported these incident to the Emperor Hongzhi(1470-1505)of the Ming Dynasty said”京中士人好著马尾衬裙，因此官马被人偷拔鬃尾，有误军国大计。乞要禁革”Saying that such behavior is not good for the country and suggest to ban horsehair petticoat. So Emperor Hongzhi make an order to banned people wearing Horsehair petticoats

Since then, this horsehair petticoat gradually disappeared from China history 

❗ It is worth mentioning that even in the period when horsehair petticoats were popular, not everyone wore horsehair petticoats, as shown in the book "释氏源流应化事迹" in the Chenghua era of Ming Dynasty (AD 1465-1487): ( Women that not wear horsehair petticoats)

After Emperor Hongzhi banned the wearing of horsehair petticoats (back to the silhouette of Hanfu in the Ming Dynasty), as shown below

Reflecting on my own experiences growing up, I distinctly remember thinking that I was somehow a failure of a teenaged girl.

I was (and still am) horrible at putting on makeup.

I was (and still am) more comfortable in jeans and cozy sweaters than skirts or rompers.

I was (and still am) irritated at growing out my hair, trying to style it, trying to wrangle it into fancy braids that continued to elude me. I hate (and still hate) how it brushed against my skin or caught on my clothes, pulling ever so slightly. My hair is now back at my shoulders, though it's been buzzed before. I'll probably buzz it again.

I was (and still am) awkward around people I didn't know well. I tried to match their tones, understand what made them smile, and shift myself ever so slightly to align with what I thought they wanted to see or hear. It made me question who I wanted to be, when I was all alone. It took me years to realize I was being dishonest with myself.

I was (and still am) uncomfortably aware of how my body changed others' perceptions of me. I failed to realize, for a long time, that my body was never the problem: it was their eyes upon it, objectifying my personhood and my physical form against my will.

I was uncomfortable with my body as it developed and grew from what I had always known, into what I know now (and have grown to love).

No one took me aside, looked at me, and said:

"Those things don't make you a bad teenaged girl. You are as you are, and you don't need to perform femininity. You are not a failure of a woman."

So this post is for you, if you need to hear it. You do not need to perform your existence. You simply are. Your body is not the problem in a world that wants us to hate ourselves. Your unwillingness to conform to social expectations does not make you less of a woman. If anything, it makes you more powerful to stand against a tide of demands and say, "I am enough."

Every marketing campaign, every "beauty trend," every "anti-aging" fixation, every push to make you feel like you must perform femininity in a particular way to be a woman, is to exploit insecurities seeded by those who want to make money from your self-doubt. To convince you that somehow, buying a product or changing your appearance will make you more feminine, and therefore, more of a "real woman."

You are as you are, and that in itself is powerful.

You are enough.

how they have promoted product: conformed to typical ideals- showasing someone who is known for being conventionally stunning, skinny, rich and topical. Feeds into Gen Z with the distressed use of paint + the ‘clutter-core’ visuals coming through.

FWRD:

Also utilising topical model to target the same audience who glorify + idolise her

product category: clothing + fashion

how they have promoted product: utilising body standards + sexualisation to sell products, conventional beauty. Targets Gen Z with use of vibrant colour, abstract angles, and ‘dreamy’ glow effect.

Laneige: 

https://people.com/style/sydney-sweeney-on-her-skin-journey-and-second-laneige-campaign-interview/

use of influencer celebrity- who has been commended and casted for her visual appearance- small size, blonde hair, large chest + sex appeal.

product category: skincare

how they have promoted product: use of ‘dreamy’ visuals, pastel colours, airbrushed skin- showcasing ideals to sell you the idea that you can achieve this look.

Urban Outfitters:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRoiT5NYCK8&t=1s

drug references

dreamy visuals

flowers, sunsets, cool patterns

sci-fi typography

product category: clothing + fashion

how they have promoted product: includes a group of ‘cool’ and ‘edgy’ looking individuals, glorifies drug use, uses ‘trippy’ and ‘dreamy’ visuals, presents the idea of popularity being ideal.

Rare Beauty:

https://www.rarebeauty.com/

showcases a beautiful celebrity utilising product

again selling the idea that you could achieve the look of this celebrity

use of shiny, pastel + glowing products to sell this fantasy, dreamy look

use of floral imagery to promote feminity

TIKTOK Adverts

Zara:

neon + pastel colours

butterfly imagery

cloud imagery

‘dreamy’ feeling

bold use of typeface- all caps

use of 3d animation to sell the product + create cool visuals

texture + neon playing large roles in visuals - sparkly, feminine, pearls, water

Adidas:

bold use of experimental typography, utilising shapes within the text (heart shape)

3d renders

blue, lilac + pastel colour scheme

shiny visuals

Urban Outfitters:

vintage imagery + style direction- use of VHS, retro style colours and layering video

bold use of typography- sticking to elongated, retro style typefaces- either fully capitalised, or not capitalised at all

feels edgy and cool- buying into this idea that the ideal is to be trendy and youthful.

Overall, from looking at how some of the biggest Gen Z brands are selling their products, it was easy to detect themes amongst them. Although the marketing isn't as stereotypical as it was in the past, the ideals being presented have just been re-packaged to appear more ‘unique’ and ‘edgy’. Carrying the same messaging, the female Gen Z audience is still seeing these conventionally stunning standards through influencers and models. This ‘dreamy’ aesthetic of lilacs, blues, pastels and clouds is really current and popular, which i find plays into this idealistic notion. Alongside this, the use of vibrant colours, patterns and vintage visuals is also really popular amongst these campaigns. 

The key themes shown are clothing, appearance, popularity, and appearing ‘cool’- which i find all play into this societal role of being ‘perfect’. I think this gives me a good indication on what to focus on- as these topics are all very current amongst the gen z female audience- leading to comparison, and the need to ‘fit’ this societal demand.

This morning (20 July) the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has updated the inflation rate to 9.4 per cent for June, from 9.1 per cent in May. Steeply rising prices are not felt equally, however, and families in financial hardship are already finding that they have no disposable income after paying their monthly bills.

That the cost-of-living crisis is forcing poorer people to make hard choices might seem obvious – unless, perhaps, you are a Conservative leadership candidate. Less obvious, however, are the ways in which rising prices disproportionately affect women.

Figures from the ONS for the year up to June 2022 show that items marketed at women have tended to rise in price by more than those aimed at men. Some price rises have been similar. For instance, an average man or woman’s plain T-shirt rose by 33 and 27 per cent respectively in the year. Women’s formal shoes, however, have on average gone up five times as much – by 75 per cent – as men’s, which have gone up by 14 per cent. And while women’s blouses have risen by 29 per cent, there was a 6 per cent drop in men’s shirts.

This difference “reflects the ‘pink tax’ on women’s consumer goods”, says Johnna Montgomerie, professor of international political economy at King’s College London – a reference to the fact that products marketed at women usually cost more than products aimed at men. “The price will go up for products the market knows women will sacrifice elsewhere to get,” she says.

The “pink tax” is evident beyond clothing, too. While electric razors, chiefly used by men, have dropped in price by 6 per cent, electric hair styling appliances, chiefly used by women, have gone up by 32 per cent.

Women are held to higher standards of grooming and beauty than men, which affects demand and therefore prices. It is a question of “what retailers can get away with”, says Dr Sara Reis, deputy director of the Women’s Budget Group. “There is higher pressure on women to look good in order to appear professional, and so there may be less withdrawing of demand on women’s clothes and the beauty market even when prices go up.”

Montgomerie puts it in even blunter terms. Overall, prices are increasing because the cost of making and transporting cheap consumer goods has risen since the pandemic, which disrupted labour forces and supply chains. But companies that charge higher prices for women’s products are acting, she says, out of “institutionalised misogyny”.

“Their market research says that women will pay more for products they deem essential, so they charge more to increase revenue. This calculation is used as a kind of business moralism that is really just sex discrimination in which the very physical features of being female become monetised into corporate gain.”

The data on prices for low-cost products tells a similar story. Cheaper items marketed at women have had higher price increases than more expensive ones. From June 2021 to June 2022, high-end tampon brands have increased in price by 2 per cent while low-end brands have risen by 11 per cent.

Cheaper versions of products such as hair dye, blouses or bras, including supermarket own-brand lines, have also been rising at higher rates that the more expensive versions, the ONS data shows. This affects women disproportionately, too. Women tend to be poorer; the vast majority of single parents are women, for example. Women are also the majority consumers of household goods. Shopping is often the “unpaid labour” of women, says Montgomerie, so if finding affordable products becomes harder that means “additional unpaid work… to cope with rising prices”.

What we are seeing is “is typical of economic crises”, says Reis. “On top of this worse economic position, women also tend to be the shock absorbers of poverty in their families, going without food, clothing or heating to ensure others – especially their children – don’t. They also tend to be the ones who budget in low-income families, so the cost-of-living crisis is also having an impact on women’s stress and mental health.”

Inflation is worsening fear and anxiety over the cost of period products, a necessity for menstruating women and girls. A number of recent surveys have shown the extent of the problem. According to research by Plan International, for instance, one in five girls and women up to the age of 21 in the UK has not been able to afford period products at some point since the start of this year.

Half of those who struggled said they cut back on groceries to buy them. Fifty-five per cent and 56 per cent respectively said they were concerned they would not be able to access period products because of the rising cost of electricity and food.

The extent of period poverty in one of the richest countries in the world is “a scandal”, says Reis. It points to the fact that the current crisis is “an income crisis, and we know that young women earn less than young men and have higher levels of personal debt”.

One of the reasons for that wage gap is, of course, the prohibitive cost of childcare in this country – it is the third-most expensive in the developed world. This problem long predates the inflation crisis; recent analysis by the Trades Union Congress found that nursery fees for under twos went up 44 per cent from 2010 to 2021. Since 2021 they have gone up by 4.1 per cent, according to the charity Coram Family and Childcare.

Men also pay for childcare, of course, but women tend to be the ones who stay home in heterosexual couples that can’t afford to pay for it. And, as mentioned above, they also make up the majority of single parents, and they are more likely to be poor. Research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows that 49 per cent of children in single-parent families were in poverty in 2019-20, compared with 25 per cent in two-parent families.

Expensive childcare has all sorts of unintended consequences. In a survey the New Statesman conducted this year 70 per cent of respondents said childcare costs were a significant reason that mothers chose to be stay-at-home parents. Another poll by Pregnant then Screwed, a lobbying group, found that 60 per cent of women who had an abortion said the cost of childcare influenced their decision.

Reis says: “The government’s refusal to substantively review how the UK’s childcare system works, and to fund it properly, is an illustrative example of this government’s blindness when it comes to the disproportionate impact of the cost-of-living and income crisis on women.”

Making Hair Gel unfamiliar. -Shamiya Cotiere

History:

There's always a story about a specific item or person which exists but there's only so much that we are familiar with. The original narrative of what's already been discovered about hair gel is that it starts in Africa with ancient Egyptians in 3500 B.C. There are records of mummies having fat-based gel in their hair upon discovery of their tombs. Gel has been used throughout history since then to style and keep hair styled over long periods of time. The Analysis of hair fibers identifies the popularity of a fat-based hair styling gel that was used to keep hair in place in both life and death. Most gels were made from tree sap or animal fat, which is very different from gels made today. This isn't surprising because Egyptians are well known for setting the blueprint and having a big role in the creation and advancement of civilization. As well as, cosmetology products and habits that we still use today. It was invented for hair utility and fashion almost a century ago. The different types of styles have changed over the years due to trends and fashion statements . The main purpose for hair gels has never changed, and it keeps gaining popularity with the diverse range of types of hold and catering to different types of hair types, from coarse & thick, specialized formulas on color-treated hair, and the list goes on. Also mentioning the main types of hair gels used today range from gels, liquid spray, pomades, wax, creams and serums--all using oil, wax, or petrolatum to give it a sleek and easily styled appearance, and all containing different amounts of from mild- to strong-hold.

 Before hair gel was more developed and being popular,  men before would use other substances such as petroleum jelly, corn oil and macassar oil. In Birmingham, England, in 1929, a company called “Chemico Works'' decided to market a product called “Brylcreem” in 1928. Chemico Works was known for creating strong kitchen and household cleaners. It was also used to keep combed hair in place. It was the first hair gel on the consumer's market. The appeal behind it was that the consumer puts a little of the product between his palms, rubs them together, and you can style your hair however desired. Purpose was for the gel to comb the strands of hair in place. While the end resulted with a clean shiny appearance. Hair gel became more popular in the 1980s when stiffer hair styles came into play. After gaining popularity throughout England and Europe, it moved to North America and quickly spread as a fashionable product for hair styling. Men and women used it, and Chemico Works developed different types of hair gels specific for genders. Over the years, other companies started for the purpose of selling hair products to the majority, and the market evolved to what it currently is today.

In the 1920s, hair gel was originally constructed by an emulsion of water and mineral oil, and thickened with a type of wax, such as beeswax. Currently, hair gel also consists of different fragrances, calcium hydroxide, magnesium sulfate, stearic acid and BHT. Cationic polymers are the main component of hair gels, as the polymer's positive charge causes it to stretch and make the gel more flexible and useful.

Within the reviews former employee(s) had stated ..“It's dysfunctional. The owner was so belligerent to me. I also witnessed verbal attacks on MANY others. In my opinion, the owner is a joke. What he's doing appears to be legal but lacks any moral or ethical basis.”- Former employee within the marketing department. An employee who currently works there has remarked that, “ Ecoco is a friendly and organized workplace. I’ve been working here almost three years, and I’m really enjoying it. Also, Ecoco has a diverse environment. It’s a great opportunity that you can learn from.” Another employee had stated. “"if you want low pay, stress 24/7 and lack of motivation every work day, then this company is right for you. They lie constantly Not understanding how the family is run by the family and the family doesn't know how to run the business. They fire people constantly, sometimes without write ups or warnings They play favorites They are not understanding people. I've been offended multiple times. HR is brainwashed.”- Former designer employee. Lastly another employee who had worked there in Nov 2019 has also mentioned, “I worked for the company when they hired a consultant to coerce "positive" reviews from employees. Don't believe a single good review here. The owner is an abusive, racist, misogynist whose inept children were recently put in charge of the brands. The pay is poor, the office culture is miserable, and the 'management' is delusional, unprofessional and entitled. In 15 years in marketing/advertising, it is the worst job I have ever worked. I was asked things ranging from amoral to illegal. Nothing about this company is worth anyone's time and they will probably be out of business in another 5 years.” With reviewing these remarks, it's upsetting to see how the company's workers feel and are treated. There's a constant pattern of referencing the company work ethic as unprofessional and they wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's looking for a job. 

Working at Ecoco | Glassdoor

How did it make its way into your home?

The way it has entered my home is through the idea of consumption (the buying decision process). I went to a beauty hair supply store which holds a wide variety of different styling products. On my way to the store, I used to drive my car as a form of transportation. I had a desire to restock on my hair styling products which was my reason to shop. While being in the store, I had my mind made up already of which product I was looking for and the certain brand I normally use. When I was all done browsing throughout the store I had checked out and the cost of the Eco styling gel was $4.99. That price was okay with me because that is the normal range for gel in today's world. After I had checked out by using apple pay (form of payment); I had driven back and placed it in my dorm. The styling product was useful for me because I use it daily and it has met my expectations.

Culture and Clothing in David's story-

ridiculous long worldbuilding post below the cut

Undergarments are specific to the needs of the individual and outerwear is determined first by culture, then by family, economic and social status and personal taste. There are no gender-specific styles of garments or ornamentation as gender doesn't impact social/cultural role, but all cultures will have some visual indicators of social status, marital status, wealth, occupation etc. represented through their garments and ornamentation.

Kingsland: Plant and animal woven-fiber clothing, mostly undyed or dyed with local earth/vegetable pigments. They have a stable agricultural base with established farms, water-mills and extensive trade, so they can craft cotton, linen-type and wool-type fiber cloth. But their cultural identity is rooted in displacement and poverty so brightly dyed cloth or extensive decoration is seen as wastefully ostentatious and wearing too much trade ornamentation is seen as "playing at being foreign." Instead, they will dye thread and embroider clothing as expression of status, preference and expression, as a few spools of luxury threads are easier to lug around than bolts of luxury cloth. Embroidery is often trimmed from old garments and resewn onto new ones, with embroidered designs, colors, beadwork etc. regularly coming in and out of style.

North Independent Tribes: Instead of settling in new farmland like Kingsland, the northern branch of the same displaced people-group established a semi-nomadic life in the northern arboreal forests. Their clothing is leather, felted fur or unprocessed animal and plant fiber and is constantly renewed and remade with the seasons. A cloak may be repainted with new designs every few days as the old ones wash and flake off, for example. But metal, stone, ivory, shell or other more permanent wearable ornaments are passed down through generations and added to as a form of tangible, wearable representation of family and heritage, and each generation is expected to painstakingly craft or trade for something of permanence to add to the collection.

East Highlands: The eastern highland estates and city-states have access to factory manufacturing and a more extensive, more permanent agriculture base, so their textiles are finer than Kingsland and the coastal clans but a constant trade embargo keeps their products off most foreign markets and thus their factories only serve their own people's needs. Pure white fabrics are prized as a symbol of great wealth and leisurely lifestyle in their own estates, but outsiders consider their cloth representative of a wasteful and lazy people who enslave others to do their work for them. It's in great demand as contraband and most wealthy outsiders want it, even if they won't admit to it and publicly denounce the trade.

Nomadic South: The true nomadic tribes of the south are famed for their animal fiber production and the fineness of their threads and cloth, and they prize their work highly and adorn their families and children with the best of it. Fiber is not dyed but carefully sorted by tone and hue to create contrasting patterns; breeding animals with high quality hair and wool in desirable colors is considered prestigious, so a family will have their herd's best colors represented throughout their clothing.

Coastal Clans:

Laron clan wears black, as in their merchant culture a versatile, color-fast black dye that would not fade was representative of great trade success and once brought their clan the wealth needed to elevate it to its present status. They ornament their black clothing with the trade goods of other cultures, as wearing fine weaving, embroidery or metalwork produced by distant and exotic artisans is considered symbolic of a trade network's strength and their own experience as skilled travelers and navigators.

Chairn clan wears brightly dyed leather, heavy fabrics and metalwork. Their clan thrives on conflict and values conquest over trade, so their clothing tends to be more of a light armor than a true garment and even the most casual vest can probably stop a dagger. Bright colors and ornaments are representative of spoils taken in war while layers of worked leather and metal beads provide additional protection. Putting on one's armor is synonymous with putting on one's coat, with varying qualities and styles of reinforced clothing depending on the danger, violence or betrayal anticipated during the day's activities.

Toujurn clan prizes quality and skill in all things, and their clothing reflects this. No matter what they are wearing, or who made it, it will be the finest example of its kind. They use less ornamentation than the Chairn or Laron and instead value the history and artistry of craftsmanship over aesthetics or trends. They will not alter a garment once it is considered completed and have no cultural sense of "out of style." A Toujurn clan-member may wear a single simple garment but be able to recount its exact history, place of manufacture, style, era, and names of the weavers who wove the cloth and tailor who stitched the hem.

Kkaran clan wears whatever it can get its hands on. Caught in the middle between the wealthy Laron, warlike Chairn and elite Toujurn, and not permitted to own land in Kingsland or the southern territories, Kkaran is a melting-pot of lineage and culture where anyone cast off from their home clan or of uncertain or "shameful" parentage is sent. Their clothing reflects this; equal parts salvaged Chairn armor, faded Laron blacks, clothing too inferior for the Toujurn, or made at home from other countries' trade goods and scraps. The exception to this are mercenary companies, who create individual symbols and uniforms representative of their skill and to provide a visual and tactile sense of belonging. Outsiders consider a Kkaran without a mercenary company and associated uniform to be a homeless, useless vagabond, but all Kkaran will welcome and protect anyone who lacks the status or clarity of identity to belong elsewhere.

Among all cultures, wearing dragonhide clothing or armor sets the wearer apart from everyone. Dragons will sometimes gift their own hides to companion families upon death and those families in turn prize the hides as wealth beyond counting. Dragonhide is tough but enduring, brightly colored and as good as light steel armor in battle, but very rare and never sold or traded, only gifted. Hide taken from a murdered dragon will rot and decay; only hide from a dragon who intended for its hide to be removed can be preserved and utilized.

What are the Investment Opportunities in Beauty Salons?

According to a report published by Grand View Research, the beauty industry is a global powerhouse, with projections indicating it could reach a staggering $716 billion by 2025.

Salons cater to a range of consumer needs, from routine haircuts and hairstyling to luxurious facials and massages. As this demand continues to evolve, potential investors may wonder: are salons a wise investment opportunity?

In this article, we'll delve into the realm of salon investments, examining both the potential rewards and risks they entail.

Let's discuss investing in a salon. You know, those places where individuals go to get their hair styled or to unwind in a spa.

Instead of merely pondering the allure of owning one, we'll delve into the financial aspects, such as the associated costs and whether it represents a prudent investment.

What are the Factors to Consider Before Investing in a Salon?

While the allure of a bustling beauty industry might be enticing, successful salon investments require careful analysis. Here are some key factors to consider:

Market Saturation: Research the local market to understand the existing competition. Is there a gap in services offered, or is the market already saturated? Don't just consider traditional competitors – research online beauty services, pop-up salons, and mobile apps that might be catering to the same clientele. Consider niche markets – perhaps a salon specializing in organic beauty products, services focused on men's grooming, or a salon catering to a specific cultural community. For example, a salon dedicated to providing acne solutions for black individuals. This allows you to target your ads more precisely towards a specific demographic.

Location, Location, Location: Like any brick-and-mortar business, location plays a crucial role. High foot traffic areas or areas with a demographic that aligns with the salon's potential clients are ideal. Consider the visibility of the location, parking availability, and potential for future development in the area.

Financial Projections: Developing a comprehensive business plan with realistic financial projections is essential. Factor in operational costs like rent of the salon, utilities provided within the salon, equipment (think styling chairs, shampoo bowls, waxing stations, facial steamers, etc.), staff salaries, product inventory(masks, waxes, hair products, skin products), and marketing expenses. Consider the average revenue generated by similar salons in the area and estimate the time it might take to achieve profitability. According to IBIS, the average hair salon makes about $317,000 in a year before taking away expenses. Concept and Services Offered: Beyond the traditional suite of hair, nail, and skin care services, consider the unique selling proposition of your salon. What are the unique selling propositions in salon industry? It could be anything like, Incorporating cutting-edge technology into services, such as virtual hair consultations and advanced hair analysis tools for convenience of clients.

Will you offer a curated menu of treatments focused on luxury or cater to a budget-conscious clientele? Will you specialize in a particular service, like hair extensions or advanced skincare treatments? Identifying your niche and tailoring your services accordingly will help attract a loyal following.

Building a Strong Team: The success of any salon hinges on its staff. Hiring experienced, skilled stylists, estheticians, and nail technicians is crucial. Invest in ongoing education and training opportunities for your team to ensure they stay up-to-date on the latest trends and techniques. Creating a positive and supportive work environment fosters staff loyalty and reduces turnover, minimizing disruption to your business.

Exploring Investment Opportunities in the Salon Industry

While traditional salons offering a variety of services remain popular, the beauty industry presents diverse investment avenues. Below are some emerging trends:

Specialized Salons: These cater to specific needs such as organic beauty treatments, men's grooming, waxing and hair removal services, or blow-out bars focusing solely on hairstyling. Establishing a strong brand identity within a niche can attract dedicated clientele.

Franchise Opportunities: Investing in a local franchise of a well-established salon offers brand recognition, operational support, and training programs, reducing startup risks.

Technology Integration: Salons embracing online booking systems, digital marketing, and loyalty programs gain a competitive edge. Utilizing social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok helps showcase work and build brand awareness.

Salon-Retail Hybrids: Combining salon services with a curated selection of branded beauty products can be lucrative. Partnering with local manufacturers to provide products increases revenue streams.

Considering a Specific Investment?

Overcoming Challenges and Mitigating Risks in Salon Investments

Investing in a salon presents challenges requiring careful consideration. Here are potential hurdles and strategies to overcome them:

High Startup Costs: Manage budgets carefully, explore financing options, and prioritize essential equipment and services. Leasing equipment can help manage cash flow.

Attracting and Retaining Talent: Offer competitive salaries, benefits, and professional development opportunities to retain skilled staff.

Staying Abreast of Trends: Stay updated on industry trends through education, trade shows, and ongoing staff training.

Marketing and Customer Acquisition: Implement a robust marketing strategy, including social media, online booking systems, and referral programs.

Managing Inventory: Analyze sales data, optimize stock levels, and partner with reliable suppliers.

Investing in a Salon: A Calculated Decision with Substantial Rewards

Salon ownership offers financial rewards and intangible benefits such as creative freedom, community building, and fulfilling passion.

Conclusion: Making an Informed Decision

Investing in a salon requires thorough research, a comprehensive business plan, and guidance from experienced professionals. By understanding market trends and identifying a niche, investors can position themselves for success in this dynamic industry.
