Why Beauty Salons & Consultants?

Like us, you may be asking “Why Beauty Salons & Consultants”? As we found from Startups there are plenty of reasons to start up a Beauty Salon;

“UK adults spend around £5bn a year on health and beauty products, and much of this cash goes to salons. According to a 2008 report from beautyserve.com, there were over 13,000 salons in the UK, employing more than 30,000 people.”

“Industry analysts claim that beauty salons have performed well during the recession; a 2009 report from market research leaders Mintel found that only one in 10 women had stopped going to the salon to save money during the downturn. Furthermore a number of recent trends, notably the increasing number of men seeking specialist health and beauty treatment, have provided real benefit to salons up and down the country”
