Hair care businesses operating within the retail environment of a large department store offer convenient access to grooming services. These establishments provide standard haircuts, styling, and sometimes coloring services to shoppers already present in the store for other needs.
The presence of such businesses creates a synergistic relationship, increasing foot traffic for both the retail store and the salon. Customers can efficiently combine errands with personal grooming, saving time and potentially leading to increased sales for both entities. Historically, this model has offered opportunities for entrepreneurs and established salon chains to reach a wider customer base.
