Beauty Care Industry

The beauty salon industry is mainly composed of small, independently owned salons.

Other salons have expanded their businesses to offer services such as nail care, facials, makeup application, waxing, massage, tanning and other beauty treatments. In a 2010 beauty salon industry analysis, IBISWorld estimates that there are 739,042 beauty salons, barbershops and spas in the U.S.Entrepreneur's Business Performance Dashboard of 2007 indicated the average beauty salon has seven employees and averages 14.6 years in the business.
