Democratizing Professional Satisfaction The majority of consumers believe the salon experience is the Standard of excellence to achieve their beauty results and spend 4x the amount of money at the salon versus on hair care products, annually. Consumers tend to be more satisfied with their end look when created by stylists versus themselves (roughly half the satisfaction via self). However, we have found that frequenting the salon is not necessary to meet most consumers’ priority hair care jobs, and there are several non-consumer groups that actually prefer caring & styling for their hair by themselves vs. at salon, There is a large opportunity to innovate around the concept of "salon results on my time" as this is clearly a big tension (money, time, convenience) for these consumers.
