Abstract: Understanding and capturing consumers' needs is an essential task for every organisation. In the service sector, it is even more crucial as consumer experience is an influencing variable. This research is a case study focusing on a beauty care clinic in Jakarta, with the objective of helping them identify suitable attributes and performing analysis for further improvements. Fuzzy Kano and importance performance analysis (IPA) were used as methodologies in this research. Two approaches on combining both methods were elaborated on to gain insights. The first approach used customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction scores, while the second approach used the three Kano categories. The results showed that the first approach gave more focused improvement suggestions for the company. However, the second approach was suitable in addressing 'attractive' Kano attributes which failed to be addressed by the first approach.
