Academic literature on the topic 'Beauty shop supplies industry'

The current trends witness the Sunnah revival in every aspect of life. The studies and research of prophetic foods has shown a tremendous progress as alternative medicine. The numerous studies have proved that prophetic foods are very good for health. However, the potential of prophetic food in cosmetics and beauty products is still under explored. The prophetic food as main ingredients for cosmetics and beauty product is not new as some cosmetics brands have already have their products infused with prophetic food as main ingredients such as in Safi, The Body Shop and Good Virtues & Co. Thus, this paper tries to review the potential of prophetic food-based cosmetics as a segment in Halal beauty industry and its prospective in the Muslim market.

Despite being very technically efficient the United Kingdom (UK) Pig Industry only supplies around 75% of the pig meat consumed in the UK. Exports are also low, being equivalent to H.5% of UK pig meat consumption. Vertical Integration can be defined as having control of a product through more than one stage of its production cycle. On the same basis Total Integration could be defined as complete control of a production process from the raw material to the product on the shop shelf. Vertical Integration, within the UK pig industry is seen as one way to achieve a marketing edge, especially as European markets open.

The launch of adMart, which sold and delivered discounted groceries, home appliances and office supplies through the Internet, fax and phone-in orders with free delivery service, provoked a wave of price-cutting by rival supermarket chains in June 1999. It forced Park'N Shop and Wellcome, the duopoly in the Hong Kong grocery market, to improve their services by providing free delivery services and expand their on-line business. However, the price war – although beneficial to consumers – proved to be a costly exercise for retailers. This case focuses on the impact on the grocery industry caused by adMart and how the present duopoly can bar the entry of new players. The causes of adMart's failure and Hong Kong's consumer attitudes toward grocery shopping on the Internet are also addressed.

M.Tech. (Somatology)
The somatology industry has seen a rapid advancement in the use of technology to address physical concerns of clients in terms of addressing the visible signs of skin ageing, issues around centimetre reduction, cellulite and other aspects. In South Africa, the Somatology curricula vary between public and private higher education institutions. Even more diversity has been noted within the private somatology higher education providers. The electrical equipment curriculum that is taught in specifically nationally and/or internationally accredited private institutions has not been updated in years and is perceived as outdated. These students are still being taught and examined on electrical equipment that was popular during the 1980’s and that have since been replaced with updated and modern machines. The purpose of this study was to establish the perceived proficiency of newly-qualified nationally and/or internationally accredited graduates in using electrical equipment currently used in the modern health and skincare industry. This study made use of a mixed method design, incorporating three different data-collection techniques. These techniques included unstructured and semi-structured personal telephone interviews and structured questionnaires. Collecting data from three perspectives allowed for triangulation, ensuring validity and reliability. The results of this study concluded that the graduates, from selected specified nationally and/or internationally accredited private higher education institutions, did not deem themselves to be proficient in the use of modern electrical equipment. This sentiment was supported by their employers in the health and skincare industry, and verified by the lecturers who facilitated their learning during their two-year qualification.
