Products
Client Consultation Portfolio with Service Recommendation and Prototype Plan
Each student compiles evidence from a real client consultation, identifies needs, and writes a service recommendation supported by salon vocabulary and safety considerations. Students also create an individual concept prototype plan that shows one improved service, product, or space idea informed by user evidence.
Operational Classroom Salon Plan and Stakeholder Showcase Presentation
Teams produce a shared problem statement, refined salon brand, service menu, floor plan, safety procedures, budget, and higher-fidelity prototype or service solution for testing and presentation. They also deliver a stakeholder-facing presentation that explains how user research shaped design decisions and how the team’s salon meets client needs within constraints.
