Data was drawn, through qualitative approaches, from ten representatives of the Hairdressing Service Providers were sampled through purposive sampling strategies, and were interviewed at the venues and time convenient to them. The findings reveal that the accreditation process is marred by teething problems demonstrated by lack of knowledge of procedures, content and laxity in application of the policy.
