Job Demand in the Cosmetology Industry

According to the NACCAS (National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences) 2003 Job Demand Survey. There were more than 1,600,000 professionals working in more than 312,000 beauty salons, skin care salons, spas and nail salons in January of 2003. Since 1999:

• The number of salon professionals is up 21%
• The number of salons is up 5.6%
• The number of new hires is up 37%

56% of salon owners report that they have job openings. More than 572,000 open positions were filled in 2002 with both experienced salon professionals changing positions (73%) and with inexperienced professionals with less than 1 year experience (27%). The supply does not appear to be keeping up with the demand. Approximately 3 out of every 4 salon owners who looked for new employees in 2002 reported difficulty finding qualified personnel.

According to the United States Department of Labor; employment of hairdressers, hairstylists, cosmetologists, skin care specialists and shampoo technicians is projected to grow between 10-20 percent through year 2010. Employment of manicurists and pedicurists is expected to increase 21-35 percent over the same period.
