A beauty salon or beauty parlor is an establishment dealing with cosmetic treatments for people.[1] Other variations of this type of business include hair salons, spas, day spas, and medical spas.
Beauty treatments
Massage for the body is a beauty treatment, with various techniques offering benefits to the skin (including the application of beauty products) and for increasing mental well-being.[2] Hair removal is offered at some beauty salons through treatments such as waxing and threading. Some beauty salons also style hair instead of requiring clients to go to a separate hair salon. Some also offer sun tanning via tanning beds.
Another popular beauty treatment specific to the face is known as a facial. The perceived effects of a facial mask treatment include revitalization, healing, or refreshment of the skin. They may yield temporary benefits (depending on environmental, dietary, and other skincare factors). Although customers seek out these services for anti-aging or anti-inflammatory results, there is little to no objective evidence that there are any long-term benefits to the various available facial treatments.[3]
Specialized beauty salons known as nail salons offer treatments such as manicures and pedicures for the nails.[citation needed] A manicure is a treatment for the hands, incorporating the fingernails and cuticles and often involving the application of nail polish. A pedicure involves treatment of the feet, incorporating the toenails and the softening or removal of calluses.[citation needed]
Industry
United States
Beauty salons proved to be a recession-proof industry across the United States. Although sales had declined from 2008 highs due to the Great Recession, they remained robust with a long-term positive forecast.[4] Even though during recessions, consumers tend to be more price-conscious, spending continued to increase. With rising per capita incomes across the United States since 2015, beauty salons boomed with the industry generating $56.2 billion in the United States. Hair care was the largest segment, with 86,000 locations. Skincare was expected to have revenue of almost $11 billion by 2018. This growth was driven in part by an increasing awareness of the importance of skin care among American women, but also specifically due to an increase in the market for men.[5] In 2020, the market was distributed widely across America, with a concentration in the Northeast and Midwest. There was also a growing trend in boutique salons popping up and leveraging online marketing to gain customers and compete with the franchise chains.[6] In 2014, the US Labor Department estimated employment in the United States increased 20% between 2008-2014, with the greatest employment growth from skincare specialists.[7] Beauty salons employ cosmetologists specializing in general beautification techniques. In 2020, cosmetology licensing requirements varied from state to state, and depending on which specific type of license was desired: general cosmetologist, hair stylist, esthetician, manicurist, barber, electrologist, or other.[8]
India
Beauty parlours employed 3.4 million people across India in 2013.[9] The industry was expected to employ 12.1 million workers by 2022.[9] Services typically include facials, skin-lightening bleaches, waxing, hair coloring, and hair straightening.[10]
