Here is some information from the National
Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences 2007 Job
Demand Survey:
In January 2007, there were 1,604,502 professionals employed in the nation’s 312,959 beauty salons, barbershops, skincare salons and nail salons. In January 2003, there were 100,141
professionals employed in New York’s 20,224 beauty salons,
day spas, skincare salons, nail salons and barbershops for our current population of 18,976,457 New York residents.
The typical salon in our state is a small full service salon with 5 or 6 workstations. New York salon
owners report an average of 156 clients per week. The salon industry in New York is a job-seekers market today, with
over 56% of the salon owners reporting at least one or two job openings available immediately. Even
though 572,000 salon career positions were filled nationally in 2002, a majority of salon owners across America
reported that they still had job openings.
Since 1990, NACCAS has commissioned
several Job Demand Surveys, to provide quantitative data on cosmetology careers, earnings potential, and job
openings. The most recent survey, completed in May 2007, compiles data from 6,203 salons responding to a national
survey.
The 2007 Job Demand Survey results indicate that salons in New York plan to
hire 22,803 new employees in the next twelve months. The average annual salary for a salon professional in New York is $36,452. This amount does not include tips and gratuities. Nationally, the average salon professional’s salary is $35,973.
Most importantly, 71 percent of New York salon owners who attempted to hire new employees in 2006 said they were unable to find properly-trained applicants. This means that jobs would be immediately available for salon professionals.
