Dallas–February 24, 2014—Total revenues for all
salon industry services (hair, skin, nails) plus salon retail grew at a
sluggish 2.7%, according to the new 2013 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 $64.8 billion, representing growth of just 2.3%. There are
nearly 301,000 salons and barbershops using and selling haircare
products in the United States.
“The state of our salon industry is weak and rapidly changing,”
says Cyrus Bulsara, president of Professional Consultants &
Resources. “Major national macroeconomic factors impacting the salon
industry include generally lower disposable incomes, high real
unemployment, government regulations slowing expansion, wage and job
uncertainty created by national health care, and the U.S. Fed and fiscal
policy. Haircare product sales like shampoos, conditioners, hair
sprays, hair styling and specialty products are being hurt by the
dynamic shift toward family-economy chains and chair/suite rentals,
which do not sell products effectively. The only bright spot is hair
coloring services with a 3.7% growth, due to an aging population and the
desire for fashion hair color. Keratin and straightening services also
grew at about 3.5%. Cutting and styling services grew by less than 2%.
Nail care services also grew at a lower rate of 7.5%, due to the weak
economy.”
