P$LITI"AL ANALYSIS
Political analysis is about government change and political stability of a country. The government usually introduces new policies and guidelines in the industry which sometimes affects the business operations negatively. The policies may be costly and time consuming due to the procedures and processes that must be followed during implementation. The government has been supportive and cooperating on various policies; in that, the government authorities and departments in charge of the industry has been engaging all the stakeholders for talks, discussions and consultations in case there are new gu idelines and policies to be introduced. There has been no major political challenge due to the government support but in some instances, when the country's leadership changes after a general election, new guidelines, ideologies and policies are introduced and the firm is forced to adhere to them; hence it may be forced to close down if it cannot meet those requirements. These are usually directives and failure to comply can cause the government authorities to withdraw the firm's trading license. E"$N$I" ANALYSIS

Therefore it is e"pected that some people will cut back a little on some of the
services they buy, but in general the customers will still purchase goods and services that is fit to their budget. )inally, there is an abundance of substitutes for the supplies sold by our business but there is a limitation in the services we offered. ustomers could shop around at other (eauty and *alon businesses trying to find a cheaper price.

nvironmental factors include weather, climate, and climate change, which may especially affect industries such as tourism, farming, and insurance. )urthermore, growing awareness to climate change is affecting how companies operate and the products they offer--it is both creating new markets and diminishing or destroying e"isting ones. The salon can come up with ways to dispose of their products in a more eco-friendly way by using organic and natural cosmetics. The biggest difference from between organic and chemical hair salons must be in their choice of hair dyes. /rganic hair salons often use herbal dyes or henna hair dyes instead of chemical dyes. (ut even when you$re just going out for a regular hair cut the shampoos, conditioners and hair styling products can contain harsh chemicals that in the long run will dry out your hair and scalp and possibly even give you allergic reactions. ot to mention the fact that you would spend an hour in an environment where workers have to take out early retirement. +aving a green environment can prevent hairdressers to retire the earliest due to work-related health issues. *anitation will be also a consideration.

isolation rooms must be cleaned after each session and spot cleaned after each case or thoroughly cleaned as necessary.
