In general, beauty salon cosmetologists form very close and intimate contact with their customers. A professional cosmetologist who can operate independently and to build positive customer relationship may also be capable of starting and managing a business enterprise, or to become a professional beautician instructor. This study therefore focuses on investigating the influences of cosmetologist’s personality traits on consumer behavior, and to explore possible ways to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty that are essential to achieving good business performance. In this study, there are 500 questionnaires of random sampling used for the beauty salon customers in northern Taiwan. Effectively, 475 valid questionnaires reached 95% were returned. The outcome of data analysis showed that a hypothesis of the present study: cosmetologists’ personality traits have a positive impact on consumer satisfaction especially conscientiousness and affinity personality highly affecting consumers’ satisfaction. Hypothesis II: cosmetologists’ personality traits have a positive impact on consumer loyalty mainly affinity personality significantly affecting consumers’ loyalty. Hypothesis III: consumer satisfaction has a positive impact on consumer loyalty chiefly satisfaction affecting loyalty more than 50%. In addition, cosmetologists’ personality traits on consumer loyalty have mediator effect. It is highly suggested that the beauty salon industry not only strengthens cosmetologists’ professional skill training, but also develops their personality traits, especially conscientiousness and affinity. Specially, the industry should focus on human resources cultivation in this regard in order to facilitate better profit performance. This study also shows that there is a strong correlation between cosmetologist’s personality traits and consumer behavior. Amongst all the traits, “Sense of Responsibility” and “Emotional Stability” have the most prominent influence on customer satisfaction. Also, customers with more than 20 times patronage to beauty salons expressed their strongest concern over “Customer Satisfaction” and “Service Efficiency.”
