The template breaks down all five forces-industry rivalry, threat of substitutes, buyer power (students), supplier power (product kit vendors), and new entrants-with beauty-school examples and scoring to quantify strategic pressure on enrollment, pricing, and margins.

industry rivalry: competing local schools

substitutes: online courses and bootcamps

buyers: students and financing choices

suppliers: product brands and wholesalers

Built for US beauty education, the analysis references state licensure pathways, student-run clinic dynamics, and recurring tuition models so conclusions are relevant to cosmetology and esthetics programs-not a generic template that misses sector specifics.
