Resumo: | ||||||||
This work aims to understand how the attitudes of the clients of Instituto de
Beleza Natural (a beauty salon that specializes in afro textured hair) have been
fostered. It focuses particularly on the development of positive attitudes regarding
the services offered by the Instituto Beleza Natural in order to explain the
Instituto’s commercial success. It was decided that the best method to adopt for
this research was to undertake several in depth interviews with clients of the
Instituto. This approach enabled the researcher to identify themes related not only
to the stimuli for using the services offered, but also to pin point the restrictions to
them. The results show a significant amount of themes related to attitude, such as
the wish for a different sort of hair, hair that won’t grow longer, prejudice at
school, neat hair helps to find a job, it helps self-esteem, it attracts the boys’ eyes,
and so on. All the themes were analyzed and associated to the problems according
to the method suggested by Guerra (2006). The main problems (such as financial
difficulties to undergo the treatment at the Beleza Natural, the people who were
excluded from it and the ones who scorn it ) are analyzed in the perspective of
managerial implications. Some of these implications may be of value for other
businesses with similar problems. They may also help those that target catering
for the needs of low income clients.
