Analysis of Salon and Barbershop Revenue in the Past Five Years

In the global consumer market, salon barbershops, as an important part of the beauty and hairdressing industry, their revenue situation not only reflects the development trend of the industry but also is closely related to consumers' lifestyles and aesthetic needs. Over the past five years, the revenue of salon barbershops has been affected by various factors, showing a rich and diverse range of trends.

In terms of regional differences, the revenue performance of salon barbershops in different countries and regions varies significantly. In China, community shops can achieve annual revenue of hundreds of thousands of yuan with a stable customer source. Larger chain stores, such as the ARC Arc Salon located in prosperous business districts, have 4 stores distributed in shopping malls like Star 68 and IFC, with about 100 employees. In recent years, their turnover has continued to grow. For example, the Star 68 store had revenue of approximately 15 million yuan in 2022. In the UK, if a small barbershop is well - managed, the owner can make a profit of more than 30,000 pounds a year. It is estimated that if a small barbershop does ten manicures and five haircuts per day, the daily turnover is about 290 pounds. After deducting costs such as rent and utilities, the profit is considerable. In Russia, by the end of 2024, the revenue of sub - sectors in the beauty industry such as medical aesthetic clinics and massage and hair removal salons has increased significantly, but the demand for traditional services such as haircuts and manicures has grown slowly. According to statistics from the Yclients online beauty platform, from January to November 2024, the overall revenue of non - professional traditional beauty salons increased by 9.4% year - on - year. Statistics from the "Consumption Index" website show that the transaction volume of such traditional beauty institutions increased by 12% year - on - year, and the average consumption amount increased by 10% to 1,900 rubles (about 103 rubles per US dollar).

In terms of business scale, small community barbershops usually have an annual revenue ranging from several hundred thousand yuan to one or two million yuan. Stand - alone stores with a certain scale in business districts can have an annual revenue of three or four million yuan. For example, the "Unique Beauty and Hairdressing Service Co., Ltd." in Neihuang, Henan Province, has developed from an ordinary barbershop to a company with 3 stores, covering professional hairdressing, scalp care, and facial care. Its annual turnover exceeds 5 million yuan and it has become the only beauty and hairdressing service - type enterprise in the city to be included in the scale - above - designated - size statistical scope. Large - scale chain brands, with their brand influence, professional services, and extensive store layout, can achieve revenue of over ten million yuan.

Overall, in the past five years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for beauty and hairdressing has been increasing, which has generally promoted the revenue growth of the salon barbershop industry. However, at the same time, the intensifying competition in the industry and the rising operating costs (such as rent, labor costs, etc.) have also brought challenges to some businesses. Consumers' demands are becoming increasingly diversified and personalized, and they have higher requirements for service quality, technical level, and in - store environment. Those salon barbershops that can keep up with the trend and provide high - quality services can often gain an advantage in the market and achieve stable revenue growth. For example, some hairstylists have attracted a large number of customers and thus increased the store's revenue by continuously learning new techniques and launching hairstyles that conform to current fashion trends.

Looking to the future, with the continuous deepening of consumption upgrading and the continuous innovation of beauty and hairdressing technologies, the salon barbershop industry is expected to welcome new growth opportunities. At the same time, how to accurately grasp consumers' demands, control costs, and enhance core competitiveness will become the key for businesses to maintain good revenue performance in the fierce market competition.
