The Economic Foundation: Quality Over Branding
As mentioned in our recent industry notice, the new regulatory framework comes down to economic standards based purely on quality, not branding. This fundamental shift will transform how the hair extension industry operates worldwide.
Key Principle: Your brand determines your price. The regulator determines the quality and price structure allowances.
Essential Requirements for Industry Compliance
1. Quality Education and Consultation Standards
Within the new regulator framework, it will be imperative that you know the quality standards to:
- Educate your clients with confidence
- Stand by your consultation within any refund procedure
- Maintain the right standard of product knowledge
- Ensure quality assurance and reliable delivery
2. Supplier Accountability and Financial Protection
Suppliers must now maintain quality standards with a money management scheme to ensure clients don't get financially burdened due to poor quality controls. Most companies do not take responsibility for bad batches with effective replacements - this will now be a mandatory requirement.
3.Quality vs. Brand: Understanding the Critical Difference
Your Brand: The way you market yourself and position your business
Quality Standards: Determined by ethnicity (place of origin), wear, and longevity
The regulator focuses on fair trade between brands and clients, and between clients and the ones sitting in the chair . This includes establishing thresholds to prevent overpricing your own brand.
Examples of not regulated structures:
Businesses paying $300 for hair and installing it for $10,000 (while hours spent matter, there are appropriate spaces for additional labor costs, this amount in gouging is relative for the product or any service. This regulation will work at preventing exploitation through transparent pricing structures
Combating Industry Deception (Common Fraudulent Practices Being Regulated)
- Promoting "Russian hair" that is genuinely Indian or Oriental
- Marketing "European hair" that doesn't meet origin standards
- Misrepresenting hair ethnicity and quality grades for another.
This behaviour is unlawful, uneducated and completely illegal. Our regulatory framework addresses these deceptive practices directly.
ZENEDA®️'s Fair Pricing Structure
Our product gives salon owners a justified fair pricing structure for the current market. We have worked closely with education and knowledge systems to address this ever-revolving door that:
- Sacrifices the integrity of workers
- Gouges prices for less valuable qualities
- Censors and devalues ethical operators
Trademark and Copyright Protection
This regulator also applies to trademark and copyright thefts across logistical and manufacturing trades (not just in hair extensions, our model is sufficient in aiding across the whole board of items bought and sold starting from assistance from farmers, manufacturers of good, singers, producers, songwriters, fashion brands etc) People need to build their own brands, not participate in copycat schemes.
What Makes You Reputable in Hair Extensions:
✅ Knowledge - Understanding your products completely
✅ Professional Training - Being well-trained in application techniques
✅ Integrity - Honest application and client education
✅ Eye for Detail- Installation, blending, and cutting techniques
✅ Trustworthy Process- Reliable and reputable procedures
