An Exciting, Professional Career Awaits You

Although most industries have downsized during these tough economic times, beauty salons and day spas continue to expand. Last year, Americans spent over $60 billion in beauty salons. And while college graduates can’t always find jobs, most salons are short staffed with entry-level positions that go unfilled.

These aren’t boring dead-end jobs either. This is an exciting, professional career in the fast paced beauty industry. There are at least six jobs for each Honor’s graduate. With the right education, your future could be just beautiful. Full or part-time, days or evenings, you can set your own hours and control your own future. Honors will show you how.

From an "Economic Snapshot of the Salon and Spa Industry," The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) June of 2011.
 

The Salon and Spa Industry Outperformed the Overall Private Sector During the Recession

The Great Recession of the late 2000s took a tremendous toll on the nation’s private sector. At the depth of the recession, the national economy was losing tens of thousands of businesses each quarter. Between the fourth quarters of 2008 and 2009, the national economy experienced a net loss of more than 92,000 private-sector business establishments – a decline of one percent.
 
In comparison, the nation’s salon and spa industry performed relatively well during the recession. Although growth in the number of employment-based salons and spas slowed during the recession and briefly turned negative, the declines were much less severe than the overall private sector. Between the fourth quarters of 2008 and 2009, the salon and spa industry experienced a net decline of only 130 establishments – or just 0.1 percent.

The Salon and Spa Industry is Projected to Post Steady Job Growth in the Future

Not only did the salon and spa industry provide much needed job growth during the sluggish last decade, it is poised to post steady growth well into the future. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of personal appearance jobs is projected to jump 31 percent between 2008 and 2018, nearly three times the rate of growth of total U.S. employment (11 percent) during the same period.
 
All of the major personal appearance occupations are projected to post job growth stronger than the overall economy between 2008 and 2018. The number of skin care specialist jobs is projected to jump 51 percent, while hairdresser, hairstylist and cosmetologist positions are expected to increase by 31 percent.
 
Careers in the salon and spa industry present opportunities for business ownership. In fact, 61 percent of salons are owned by women, compared to just 30 percent of all businesses in the overall private sector.
