Total revenues for all salon industry services (hair, skin, nails) plus salon retail grew at a robust 4.1% to $ 75.38 billion, according to the new 2012 Professional Salon Industry Haircare Study from Professional Consultants & Resources, the leading salon industry strategic consultants and data source. The total U.S. salon haircare market segment (services plus retail) registered $ 63.33 billion and grew at about 3.3%. There are nearly 288,300 salons and barbershops in the United States.
The professional beauty industry is strongly evolving," says Cyrus Bulsara, president. Mens salon/barber services and product sales showed nearly twice the growth of unisex salons. The nail category continued to grow strong at nearly four times salon market growth. Continuing the 2011 trends, haircolor, keratin/smoothing services and basic cutting and styling services were major growth-drivers. Clients and stylists continued to move from traditional independent salons and mid-tier chains to chair/suite rentals, family-economy chains and upscale men's barbershop chains. The continued growth of blow-dry bars added to total service growth.
