{"title":"Effects of Nail Service Consumer’s Indecisiveness on Purchase Intention and Purchase Delay","authors":"Youn-hee Lee, Sang-Dok Ji, So-jeong Park","doi":"10.20402/ajbc.2023.0043","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20402/ajbc.2023.0043","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This study aims to verify the reactions of nail service consumers to indecisiveness during the service purchase process and the effect of indecisiveness on purchase intention and purchase delay. Moreover, it examines whether consumers’ indecisiveness affects their purchase intentions and purchase delay differently depending on the content of message framing presented by service providers. Finally, this study provides implications for nail shops to improve consumer satisfaction and their business performance through efficient and empirical data.Methods: A total of 621 questionnaires were distributed to women who experienced indecisiveness while using nail services or who suffered from chronic indecisiveness. Finally, 414 questionnaires were utilized, excluding 207 questionnaires that were unsuitable or inappropriate for the study. SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 were utilized for frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, structural equation model analysis, and χ2 difference verification.Results: Findings confirmed that indecisiveness during the service purchase process has a significant effect on purchase intention and purchase delay among consumers of nail services. In addition, the message framing presented by the service provider was found to partially moderate the relationship between indecisiveness, purchase intention, and purchase delay of nail service consumers, depending on the message framing content.Conclusion: Consumers’ indecisiveness had a significant effect on their purchase intention and purchase delay. Therefore, nail service providers must develop a strategy that can reduce the factors of nail service consumers’ indecisiveness during the purchase process and improve their business performance by enhancing the personal capabilities of service providers, thereby increasing the satisfaction of nail service customers.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72975885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the effect of G. maculatum liposomes on LPS-induced NO production was determined in RAW 264.7 cells. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay.Results: G. maculatum in liposomes showed higher a cytotoxicity to B16F10 cells than G. maculatum in non-liposomes. Examination of the inhibitory effect on melanin production and tyrosinase production revealed that G. maculatum in liposomes produced a stronger whitening effect than that in non-liposomes. In addition, the experiments using RAW 264.7 cells showed that liposomes containing G. maculatum not only inhibited NO production but also resulted in higher cell viability than non-liposomes containing G. maculatum. Conclusion: Liposomescontaining G. maculatum exert an antiseptic effect through a significant inhibition of NO production. They are preferred as a cosmetic material owing to their inhibitory activity on tyrosinase and melanin production.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79857016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to confirm the potential application of kaki-tannin to cosmetics, the efficacy was evaluated by kakit-annin that molecular weight decreased by gamma irradiation.Methods: Kaki-tannin polymer was extracted by hydrothermal extraction from persimmon. The molecular weight of Kaki-tannin polymer reduced by gamma-ray irradiation, and then separated and purified. Further, the molecular weight of this polymer was reduced by gamma-ray irradiation; subsequently, it was separated and purified. Radical scavenging activities of this reduced molecular weight Kaki-tannin were examined by the 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) diammonium salt radical cation, and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of Kaki-tannin on tyrosinase and melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells were measured in vitro. Furthermore, the expression of tyrosinase, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, and TRP-2 during melanogenesis was confirmed by western blotting.Results: Irradiated Kaki-tannin exhibited an antioxidant effect as well as suppressed tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis. The results of this study confirmed that the expression of tyrosinase, MITF, and TRP-2 decreased as the treatment of irradiated Kaki-tannin increased.Conclusion: In the present study, to incorporate high molecular weight Kaki-tannin in cosmetics, it was first irradiated with gamma rays in order to reduce its weight. This study confirmed that Kaki-tannin irradiated by gamma-ray has antioxidant and whitening effects as well as the potential to be used as a cosmetic material.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76656601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
