"Client loyalty is high for treatments. Human expertise should be a key focus, but use tech and trends to advance interest in higher-value-per-visit services."
Shiyan Zering, Senior Beauty and Personal Care Analyst
Despite a fragmented market and cost pressures that typically lead people to shop around for prices and weaken loyalty, 78% of UK professional treatment users are loyal to the same beauty/grooming professionals for treatments. This shows that trust and consistent results from human expertise are key drivers for treatments. Once people find an expert who understands their needs, they’re unlikely to switch.
The rapid medicalisation and technological advancements of at‑home beauty intensify competition. Advanced devices and biotech formulas now promise clinic‑level results and regeneration without appointments or downtime. This may encourage consumers to shift spending into daily at‑home routines. For salons, proving value becomes critical to defend market share; using diagnostics, progress tracking and before‑and‑after imaging to demonstrate outcomes that at‑home products cannot replicate.
Convenience of treatments outweighs price, novelty and even wellness credentials for consumers. Attract new users and increase treatment occasions by making beauty services more hyper-accessible. These could be post-workout facials or hairstyling at gyms and wellness clubs, mobile treatment vans, or express venues targeting quick fixes. This reduces the need to travel or commit to lengthy appointments.

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
