But could it also be related to intangibility? Since Hugo cannot physically see the service being performed.

I agree with Luke. The inconsistency in service quality at the same salon is a clear example of heterogeneity.

I see your point, Gerald. Maybe Hugo didn't have a good connection with the stylist the second time around.

But could it also be about inseparability? Like, the connection between the stylist and the customer affecting the service quality?
