In summary:

- beauty salons would need to adapt to new health and safety requirements (imposed by both authorities and worried clients): masks, sanitizers, the distance between clients, extra cleaning, restriction on the number of clients that could be present at the same time;

- the above-mentioned measures will affect the cost structure of beauty salons, forced reduction of revenue and extra efforts to recreate and reinforce the usual salon experience that customers valued in pre-Covid-19 times

- salon experience could be deteriorating but the industry should come up with the new EXPERIENCE that would attract the clients in the ‘new reality’

- pricing of services will be very important – some of the beauty salons that have started opening u recently have introduced ‘Covid-19’ surcharge as part of the cost of the service

- by all means, the frequency of visitation of salons might reduce but we could expect the recovery in 6-18 months’ time

- digital gets a totally new role – an accelerator of the processes: connection with the community, keeping in touch with the audience, education, adding value to salon service (on-line consultations prior to salon visit), augmented reality of ‘smart mirrors’ allowing the virtual trial of hair colours etc.

- the negative scenario of development could mean 2-5% decline in different professional beauty sectors but the optimistic scenario could imply 2-3% growth and recovery in 2-3 years’ time.
