The technology is consisted of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods and services to achieve desired goals. Technology is not only confined to computer, devices but also machines. The role of technology is profound which helps in stability and growth of any industry and economy. The hairdressing saloons which are in informal sector are using machines to provide services.
The present study brings light on the role of technology in development of hairdressing saloons and perception about technology among hairdressers. The study also attempts to find the entrepreneurial qualities possessed by the hairdressing saloons and problems faced by them.
