3.1 Aga Mehmet, Okan Veli Safakli (2007),- Customer

Satisfaction in Professional Management, Vol.5, No.3,
pp.84-96
Today the quality of product and services consumed is of great importance. It
is widely accepted that surviving in difficult and competitive conditions of a
market economy requires good quality production. To understand and assess
the result of efforts realized for good quality production, quality should be
measurable. While the quantity of goods easily can be measured by taking
into account the certain physical properties, the measurement of services is
rather difficult because the quality in this case depends on large number of
factors.

3.2 Anderson, Eugene (1996), Custpmer Satisfaction and

Price Tolerance. Marketing Letters, Vol.7, No.3.pp.265274
Customer satisfaction can be defined as overall evaluation based on the total
purchase and consumption experience with a good or service over time.

3.3 Bearden, William O and Jesse E. Teel (1983), - Selected

Determinants of Consumer Satisfaction and Complaint
Reportss.|| Journal of Marketing Research, Vol.20, No.1,
pp.21-28
Consumer Satisfaction (CS) is a central concept in modern marketing
thought and practice. The marketing concept emphasizes delivering
satisfaction to consumers and obtaining profits in return. As a result, overall
quality of life is expected to be enhanced. Thus, consumer satisfaction is
crucial to meeting various needs of consumers, business, and society. The
realization of this importance has led to proliferation of research on
consumer satisfaction over the past two decades. Attempts to make a
significant contributions towards understanding this important area have
been made, including numerous studies and annual conferences on
consumer satisfaction/dissatisfaction and complaining behavior.

3.4 Churchill, Gilbert and Carol Suprenant (1982), An

Investigation into the Determinants of Customer
satisfaction. Journal of Marketing Research, Vol.19,
pp.491-504
When purchasing a service, one usually receives very little one can take
home and rarely acquires ownership of anything. Rather, it has been

advanced that services are experiential in nature, and it has been suggested
that the service consumption experiences can be regarded as the major
output of service organization (Bitner 1990, Hui 1988). As Shorr, then
executive vice president-marketing of Holiday Inns Inc, expressed it. What I
am selling, in terms of what people are buying, is a hotel experience (InKnisely 1991).

3.5(Book of Consumer, Kotler & Keller,2009,p.789).

As a matter of fact, satisfaction could be the pleasure derived by someone
from the consumption of goods or services offered by another person or
group of people; or it can be the state of being happy with a situation.
Satisfaction varies from one person to another because it is utility. One
mans meal is another mans poison, an old adage stated describing utility;
thus highlighting the fact that it is sometimes very difficult to satisfy
everybody or to determine satisfaction among group of individuals.

3.6 Tse & Wilton, 1988, p.204

Client happiness , which is a sign of customer satisfaction, is and has always
been the most essential thing for any organization. Customer satisfaction is
defined by one author as the consumers response to the evaluation of the
perceived discrepancy between prior expectations and the actual
performance of the product or service as perceived after its consumption.

3.7 Fornell, 1992, p.11

Hence considering satisfaction as an overall post-purchase evaluation by the
consumer. Some authors stated that there is no specific definition of
customer satisfaction, and after their studies of several definitions they
defined customer satisfaction as Customer satisfaction is identified by a
response (cognitive or affective) that pertains to a particular focus (i.e. a

purchase experience and/or the associated product) and occurs at a certain

time (i.e. post-purchase, post consumption).

3.8 Giese & Cote, 2000, p.15

This definition is supported by some other authors, who think that
consumers level of satisfaction is determined by his or her cumulative
experience at the point of contact with the supplier.

3.9 Sureshchander et al., 2002, p.364

It is factual that, there is no specific definition of customer satisfaction since
as the years passes, different authors came up with different definitions.
Customer satisfaction has also been defined by another author as the extent
to which a products perceived performance matches a buyers expectations.

(Schiff man & Karun 2004, p.14)

According to Schiff man & Karun (2004) Customer satisfaction is defined as
the individuals perception of the performance of the products or services in
relation to his or her expectations.

In a nutshell, customer satisfaction could be the pleasure obtained from

consuming an offer. Measuring customer satisfaction could be very difficult
at times because it is an attempt to measure human feelings. It was for this
reason that some existing researcher resented that the simplest way to
know how customers feel, and what they want is to ask them this applied to
the informal measures.

CHAPTER 5
FINDINGS, SUGGESTION
AND CONCLUSION

FINDINGS
Every research project is carried out with certain objectives and views. These
objects may be theoretical as well as practical the knowledge acquired in the

the findings should be expressed.

500,44 percent of people comes under the category of Rs.500-3000

72 percent of the respondents believe that price is the main factor and

remaining 28 percent says no.

34 percent of people like to visit other salons for purely hair up and 36

people says they like to visit only for hair up.

Out of the 50 respondents 38 have said that they definitely
recommend bliss salon and 7 respondnets have said they may

recommend, remaining 5 respondents kept neutral to their response,

Most of the respondents are attracted towards bliss for the outdoor and
bill board i.e, 40% and quite a few respondents attracted to
advertisement on newspaper (14%) and remaining respondents have
opted for internet and radio i.e, 10% and 06% respectively.

SUGGESTIONS
From the data collected from the respondents,
the analyses has been done base on the awareness of the

respondents. Here, are some of the suggestions that are been point up
after going through the information from the respondents. The
suggestion will help the manager of bliss salon in understanding the
perception of respondents with regard to service rendered by bliss. The
suggestion are given below:
The targeted customers of bliss salon have suggested that they
want to have more professionals should be maintained so that it
would help to attract more customers.
Most of the people resist allow their children to have hair salon
service because the middle income cannot afford the expense so
that specially for children the cost should be reduced.
The new customer cannot identify the location of the salon so
have to improve the advertisement board such as neon lighting.
Timing should be increased for those who are working in office

kind of customer.
Company should not focus only on social media and internet
type of advertisement but also improve in the outdoor

advertisement.
Improve the appointment kind of facilities for the customers.
Basically the city like Mangalore if a hair salon want to retain in
the market the staffs of the salon should be humble to the
customer.
Improve the waiting room.
Improve the parking service which is provided by the salon.

CONCLUSION
After conducting this research I can say that customer satisfaction of Bliss
salon in Mangalore will increase in future as per my study currently 74% of
the respondents are satisfied with the services of Bliss salon, but 26% of
respondents are not happy. May be in future it may attract more customers
because of its quality and expertise service and wide range of variety of
services. Within next five years am sure that 100% of the people will go for
Bliss for various services. As the fashion trend is increasing people are more
attracted towards the new style and fashion. People get attracted towards
the new trend of fashion quickly and also to the wide range of collections of
the latest fashion coming into the market. People prefer Bliss because of
ambience and quality services rendered towards the customers.
