Lena, a fresh graduate of TESDA, thinks that
there is an opportunity to open a salon in their
community in Batisan Village, Cabanatuan City.
Her initial findings show that their community
only has one barber shop for men and one
beauty salon for women. Batisan Vilage has 200
families. Majority of the members of the
families are office workers and students.
Moreover, she acquired data through an
informal survey via social media that
familieswant to go to just one barber shop or
beauty salon together on weekends.
The research also revealed that
families also want to have other
services such as nail cleaning and
massage. They also take these
activities as an opportunity to bond
with one another because of their busy
schedules. With this limited
information, Lena needs to be affirmed
about the attractiveness of this
opportunity.
1. Concept and strategy

as a one-stop beautification and relaxation
shop where families bond, relax, and feel and
look better.
