INTRODUCTION
Repairing damaged hair is essential in growing, styling, and grooming hair. Seasoned and successful stylists have mastered maintaining healthy hair, preventing its destruction, and repairing hair when its healthfulness has been compromised. Intelligence and proficiency in hair care provide barber stylists and cosmetologists with the capability to provide a higher quality of services to their clients and a greater potential for customer satisfaction, retention, and clientele growth. Providing hair care services that include repairing damaged hair increases the potential for income increase. According to the research of Petruzzi (2024), repairing damaged hair is second only to skin care in the body care industry. Hair care revenue consistently grows, proving to be one of the most significant revenues increases globally. In 2023, the hair market was valued at $91.2 million in the United States and is estimated to increase to $14.2 billion in the United States and $105 billion globally by 2028. Eser (2023) noted that the massive revenue projections promise resilience and vitality within the beauty industry, thus serving market watchers, stakeholders, and entrepreneurs navigating their way through the hair and beauty industry trends. Services involving repairing damaged hair demand competency in the science of hair. Therefore, continued education in hair care is vital.

The beauty industry is a significant part of the professional hair care trade, filled with stylists living their passion. This passion is heightened by consideration and compassion for people with a focus on helping individuals express themselves through hair. For professional stylists, repairing damaged hair is not just a job; it is a responsibility that demands the highest skills and ability to assist clients with their hair care desires and needs. According to Siddarth (2022), repairing damaged hair is a service within professional hair care designed to preserve the healthfulness of the hair by enhancing the integrity, appearance, and style of different types of hair. Statistics reported by Eser (2023) documented professional hair care as a thriving market, with an estimated global market forecast reaching U.S. $116.33 billion (about $360 per person in the US) by 2027. The immense market holds significant possibilities and potential for customer service innovations, service diversification, and business growth. The professional hair care market consists of products and services. Beauty manufacturers produce products dispersed through various distribution channels, such as online markets, retail chains, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. The distribution channels are either traditional or professional. Traditional channels produce the largest market share, reaching a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 62.70% in 2022, and the market is estimated to increase by 5.94% from 2023 through 2030 (Siddarth, 2022). The professional segment of the distribution channel involves end users, such as beauty salons, barbershops, and personal studios. These businesses provide many hair care services, including using various products such as shampoos, conditioners, hair colorants, and styling agents during haircuts, coloring, styling, and treatments. A shift within the professional haircare industry started an increasing awareness toward product brands and customer engagement through direct sales rather than traditional indirect sales channels. Direct sales include providing hair care services, educating customers about products, and providing hair care products that assist hair care service professionals in hair corrections, including hair loss, dandruff, greasy hair, itchy scalp, frizzy hair, and damaged hair (Siddharth, 2022).
