A permanent makeup master is an ideal profession for those who dream of working in the beauty industry, developing creatively and having a good income.

Product Developer (productdeveloper)

Salary per year:$46 413 — $127 164

The delicious smell of a popular lipstick, the eye-catching packaging of eyeshadows, the exciting color scheme of a blush set - just think, someone came up with all this. And we are not talking about complex formulas, but about the sensations that cosmetics give. Every beauty brand in the state has product developers who decide which new eyeshadow palette to release to make them want to buy, which stores to partner with, and which online marketplaces to promote products.

The only routine that specialists may face is associated with a large abundance of cosmetics, which must be lived and "breathed".

According to PayScale, the average developer salary is $80,000 per year.

Among the desired professional skills are knowledge of the basics of marketing, creativity, stress resistance, communication skills. To get a job in a good cosmetics company, you will need a bachelor's degree from an accredited university and 2-3 years of experience as a product developer in the cosmetics field.

Directorsalonbeauty(hair and beauty salon owner)

Salary per year: from $75 000

Owning your own beauty salon is a childhood dream of many girls. In the US, this business can make good money if you're really willing to work hard. After all, almost every resident of America from 9 to 99 years old “brings beauty” at least a couple of times a month.

There are 3 options for starting this business: open a salon from scratch by coming up with a unique concept, buy a franchise business with a complete guide to action from its owners, or purchase an existing salon. Of course, the first option is the most difficult, but at the same time interesting. It took Inna Tsalkovich more than 20 years to go from assistant hairdresser to top-level hairdresser and open her own salon, which in 2015 was named the best in Manhattan.

Inna moved to New York in 1996 with her husband and small child. She immediately took out an educational loan and went to study at a beauty school. The course cost $10,000 and included hairdressing, cosmetology and manicure. During her studies, the girl worked part-time in the salon as an assistant to the master, but very quickly began to move up the career ladder. She constantly improved her skills.

“I graduated from the world-famous Wella brand school and the Bumble and Bumble school, countless trainings and master classes. A self-respecting master cannot do otherwise, because self-education comes first in our work. You need to be aware of the latest trends and cosmetic products, fashion trends. Of course, I invested a lot in my training, but I have always had many satisfied clients. And to make a person beautiful - isn’t that happiness? ”Inna shares.

Having changed only 3 jobs in New York, after 20 years as an ambassador, Inna and her husband opened a salon in Manhattan in the popular Soho area. The girl's husband was engaged in marketing and advertising, and Inna took up work with clients and practiced as a hairdresser. The girl recalls that from the moment the salon opened, she began to sleep 2 hours a day, because their business, like a small child, constantly demanded attention and complete immersion.

“Your salon is a big responsibility and work 24/7. I didn't get a chance to rest or relax. During the day I cut and colored clients, and at night I figured out how to promote the salon, with whom to cooperate, how to become better and better. We worked with the Bloomingdale chain clothing store, with well-known modeling agencies. There were many artists and famous artists among our clients. We constantly held interesting "events". I remember that they even took part in the action and collected financial assistance for African women. In other words, we lived a full New York life. I had a goal - to become the No. 1 salon, and in 2015 we succeeded, ”recalls Inna Tsalkovich.

Business justified itself financially. According to the girl, the turnover of the salon reached $ 250-300 thousand per year.

“Since I spent a lot of time with clients, the question “why is it so expensive?” blew me away. Clients constantly asked me why they should pay $200-300 for 2-3 hours of work. I agree, this is a rather big amount, but no one thinks that hairdressers and other salon employees work on commissions, salons do not pay them for medical insurance, vacations, and so on. Masters constantly spend their hard-earned money on training, "invest" in their knowledge. Moreover, a hairdresser is a physically demanding job, and after a working day, my back and legs hurt terribly, ”Inna shares.

As the girl clarified, the owner of the salon works with his masters on a commission basis - the specialist receives 30-60% of the proceeds that he brought. The salon takes the rest. In some cases, the master simply rents a chair in the salon, but this format is less common. At the same time, the director of the salon pays all household expenses, buys cosmetics and is engaged in marketing.

Inna and her husband sold the salon after she developed health problems and moved to Florida. Today, Inna practices in one of the Boca Raton salons.

Beauty copywriter or beauty editor (beautycopywriter/beautyeditor)

Salary per year:$30 265 — $72 536

If you are one of those people who, every time you buy cosmetics, admire the name of a color or product every time, you clearly understand what exactly beauty copywriters do. They create names, come up with slogans, descriptions on packaging and annotations for the product. For “dust-free” work, a copywriter is paid $ 30-70 thousand a year, according to PayScale. In New York, you can find a job with a salary of more than $100,000 a year. Beauty editors write articles about beauty and fashion. Salaries start at $50,000 per year.

In order to become a copywriter, you need to be fluent in English, be creative, “be your own” in the world of fashion and cosmetics.

A specific education is not required, but many colleges and private schools offer various programs of study. A clear advantage of the profession is a free schedule.

Personal stylist (personal fashion stylist

Salary per year:$20 418 — $177 986

Many people do not understand the combination of colors, clothing and accessories, but really want to dress beautifully. Among them are both present and future artists, famous athletes and politicians, as well as representatives of other professions. In this case, personal stylists come to their aid, who go shopping with them, select clothes, create images for every day and for going out, and advise on suitable hairstyles and makeup.

The Payscale website claims that salaries in this area start at $20,000 per year and can go up to $177,000 per year.

To get a job as a stylist, you need to have exceptional taste, understand the types of figures and faces, be aware of the latest fashion trends, be able to look for rare things and combine them.

Special education in order to work as a stylist is not required, but a certificate of completion of courses, experience in clothing stores and a portfolio will only be a plus.

The global market for beauty salons: global trends and development prospects

Throughout the history of the development of beauty salons, their essence has not changed: they not only offer professional beauty treatments, but also sell elite cosmetics. Over the past 10 years, the beauty industry has undergone significant changes, which, in turn, was reflected in salon business.

From this article, you will learn about the key segments of the beauty salon market, new and most popular types of cosmetology services, as well as promising conditions for the development of the salon industry as a whole.

State of the global beauty salon market

The main share of this business area is represented by independent beauty salons that offer a traditional package of services: manicure, pedicure, massage, skin care procedures, mainly facial, make-up, tinting of eyebrows and eyelashes, depilation. These organizations also regularly provide hairdressing services - cutting, styling, lightening and styling. In addition, this type of salon can provide tanning services, non-medical methods of hair restoration and nail care.

The dominant segment of the beauty salon market is skin care. In 2010, it increased by 5%, amounting to $50 billion a year, and already in 2015 this figure rose to $61 billion a year - 22%, in the next few years it is expected to grow to 24%. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the market, accounting for almost 50% of its global volume.

Significant growth can be traced in the field of injection cosmetology, the demand for which for the period 2011-2015 showed an increase of 9%. However, side effects from the use of dermal fillers prevent more active development of this segment.

Skin care is the main service area of ​​beauty salons.

According to marketing research IBISWorld, the Americas beauty market covers over 750,000 beauty salons, spas and hairdressers. However, it is highly fragmented, with the top 50 companies receiving 15% of total revenue. In 2013, the market volume amounted to 85 billion US dollars, and by 2020 this figure should increase to 138 billion US dollars. From 2014 to 2020, an average annual increase in sales of up to 7.2% is expected.

As of 2010, the skincare market in Europe was US$15 billion. Since then, it has increased to 18 billion, which indicates an average annual sales rate of 3%. Rejuvenation procedures have become the dominant segment, accounting for 17% of the market, which is equal to almost 2.5 billion US dollars.

China's salon business is strongly driven by demand from middle-class consumers. The market segment for hair removal procedures in 2010 was equal to 9.5 million dollars, and over the next 5 years, the average annual sales growth reached the level of 5%. In the future, this figure will decrease to 4%. In 2014, the skincare industry was worth $10.5 billion. Anti-aging treatments account for 26% of the market.

The market of beauty salons in Russia is considered one of the most attractive for global companies. First of all, this is due to the fact that Russian women initially spend much more on cosmetic products and procedures than Europeans and Asians. For example, residents of Spain, Portugal or Greece are ready to spend, on average, about $256 per year on cosmetic services, for Switzerland this figure is slightly less - $230, but the British agree to part with $198.

Speaking of Russian women, this amount is much less - within 90 US dollars, however, it is worth making an allowance for the size wages abroad and in Russian Federation. If in 2000 only 4% of women visited beauty salons in the country, by 2014 this figure had grown tenfold - 40%, and this figure continues to increase.

As of 2012, the beauty salon industry in Russia consisted of about 30,000 establishments, which generated a profit volume of almost 120 million US dollars. In the next few years, the growth trend should have continued, demonstrating an average annual rate of 7-10%. Anti-aging procedures remain in demand, but in the field of cosmetic surgery, non-surgical or more gentle methods prevail (massages, peels, mesotherapy, the use of dermal fillers, injectable cosmetology).
The figures speak for themselves: the market for beauty salon services is developing dynamically, despite global economic processes.

Beauty salons - from eyelash extensions to solid gold face masks

There is a stereotype about beauty salons that this is an organization that provides a full range of cosmetology services. However, in the conditions of the development of the world market, such universality is not a dogma. Mostly, it is on the correct formation of a portfolio of procedures and services, as well as on the choice of the specifics of the salon, that its further success depends.

Many entrepreneurs around the world today are abandoning the traditional concept of a beauty salon as an all-inclusive establishment for the provision of cosmetology services, switching to more private solutions. So, let's say, the same barbershops have revived - special hairdressing salons for men, which were extremely popular at the beginning of the last century. Such establishments are focused on attracting a special category of clients who appreciate not only professional grooming, but also the opportunity to communicate “in the same language”. Often, men in barbershops are also served by men who know firsthand about shaving and beard care.

Brow Bar - a new format of a mini-beauty salon for eyebrows and eyelashes

Mini-salons for eyebrow correction turned out to be very popular. And, if you think that they can only offer to pluck eyebrows, then this is a rather deep delusion. In such studios, specialists not only correct the shape of the eyebrows, but also work with eyelashes. The advantages of this version of the beauty salon are compactness (the studio is perfect for placement, for example, in mall), profitability, no need for a large staff or the purchase of expensive equipment.

To work with eyebrows, you can use both traditional techniques, say, the ancient method of removing excess hair on the face with the help of threads rubbing against each other, which was invented in ancient Asia and India, and more modern solutions: micropigmentation, applying temporary or permanent makeup (eyebrows, lip contour, eyeliner, flies or freckles). Eyelash treatments also deserve special attention: eyelash extensions, when special fibers are added to natural eyelashes, giving a certain length and volume. Curling and lamination of eyelashes are another popular procedures in such studios that require application special means fixing a certain position of the eyelash.

Eyebrow correction is one of the most popular services in mini-salon.

The skin care segment remains the most developed in the beauty industry. This could not but affect the salon business, which served as a prerequisite for the emergence of specific cosmetology clinics - scin clinic. These versions of the salons specialize in a wide range of beauty treatments, from the usual peeling, electrolysis and acne treatment to more exclusive services involving the use of specific cosmetic techniques.

A vivid example is a rejuvenating mask made of 24 carat gold, it is this metal, according to experts, that has anti-aging and firming properties. The procedure itself was developed by the Japanese company Umo Inc., however, many cosmetologists use it at their own discretion, adding to the process the use of ions or polyglutamic acid, which has a massaging effect on the skin. The cost of such a procedure is within 300 US dollars per session.

Pure Gold Rejuvenating Mask

In such clinics, procedures for non-surgical correction of the face and body are available using CASI (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) - a computerized cosmetology tool that combines the effects of laser, microcurrent, ultrasound and vacuum, and also uses the power of electrical signals to restore muscle tone, smooth wrinkles and mimic lines. In addition to facial care, this device is used to combat cellulite, improve the shape of the bust and abdomen. The procedure with CASI should be preceded by microdermabrasion, the purpose of which is to clean the skin as much as possible.

Photorejuvenation technology - Foto RF ™ - the use of lasers, radio waves or even chemical solutions that help eliminate various skin conditions: acne, scars, sunburn. the above methods of carrying out the procedure activate the production of collagen, tone the skin in general.

There is also an alternative to laser hair removal, which for many decades has been, and still is, an effective way to deal with unwanted body hair. IPL is the same laser system based on the action of high-intensity light pulses. However, it is able to generate, unlike a traditional laser, waves of different wavelengths, which significantly reduces the procedure time and is considered a more efficient process.
Thus, when choosing a profile direction for the salon, it is necessary to take into account the local context and your own capabilities.

Features of the activity of beauty salons in some countries

We have already mentioned that beauty salons are characterized by a certain versatility. All of them are focused on providing professional cosmetic services. However, in certain regions, depending on the characteristics of culture, the level of development of the state, the socio-economic situation, in particular, the share of the middle class, as well as the unique features of consumer behavior, the specifics of the work of the salon in a particular country depend.

The beauty industry in Japan is, first of all, the provision of innovative cosmetic services along with traditional procedures. In particular, procedures that combine massage and exposure to radio waves are used to correct the figure, which as a result improves blood circulation and lymph flow. The cost of this procedure is up to $100.

In terms of skin care, an oxygen capsule is in great demand, in which a client is placed, on whose face natural cosmetics from herbs and plants have been previously applied, which helps to restore the skin. Due to the significant saturation with oxygen, cosmetic preparations are better absorbed. Speaking of modern cosmetology devices, one cannot fail to note HIFU therapy, which allows you to eliminate cellulite through exposure to high-density ultrasonic waves, as well as the use of heat that destroys the fat layer.

Beauty salons for Muslim women - the ideal attitude towards customers

In countries whose population or part of it professes Islam, to beauty salons special treatment especially among clients wearing a hijab. According to the laws of this religion, a woman does not have the right to take off her hijab in front of other men who are not members of her family. What is the peculiarity of such salons? First of all, all the staff is exclusively female, which allows clients to feel safe. If the beauty salon is also intended for men, then special rooms are allocated for them, from where there is no access to the female part.

An equally important factor is the use of halal, in other words, cosmetics permitted by Islam, which includes exclusively natural vegetable oils and extracts. Most of these beauty salons also have equipped special places for prayer with the necessary rugs. The demand for this approach is evidenced by the fact that salons with special rooms for Muslim women began to open around the world from the USA to Japan. And this is not surprising, all possible expenses for equipping special rooms are paid off by attracting a unique target group of clients.

Beauty salon in India - harmony with yourself

India is a unique country for the development of beauty salons and this is due, first of all, to its demographic features. This state is the second in the world in terms of population, while it is the youngest country: 50% are people under the age of 25, 65% are under 35 years old. Of course, this affects the development trends of the beauty industry in general and the demand for cosmetology services. It is also worth considering external factors - environmental pollution and difficult weather conditions that lead to problematic skin. In addition, Indians are more interested in organic cosmetics containing natural honey, components from coconut, sandalwood, turmeric, almonds, sesame oil.

Foreign products, which include parabens, synthetic ingredients and fragrances, fade into the background. It is common for Asian cultures to have a deeper understanding of the long-term effects that harmful and toxic substances can have on the skin. Yes, and beauty salons, in most cases, are more medical and cosmetology centers, in which skin care experts, homeopaths and Ayurvedic doctors provide a combination medical services with traditional Indian beauty treatments.

In Italy, the concept of the salon industry itself is changing - the owners of such establishments will soon be inspired by the ideas of beauty from ancient Rome. Recall that in ancient times, Roman baths, the forerunners of modern spa centers, were in demand not only as places where you can take care of your appearance, but also give the client a sense of well-being and pleasure. Local experts say that it is no longer enough for modern cosmetologists to simply take care of the beauty of the body, it is time to take care of the thoughts of a person. Simply carrying out procedures is no longer enough, it is important to remember that people absorb both positive and negative emotions from their environment. Therefore, in some salons, along with traditional cosmetic services, clients will also be pampered with sensory stimulation to give them an unforgettable experience, according to the owners. The purpose of such an unusual approach is rather banal - to attract regular customers.

Ethnic and cultural diversity is one of the leading principles for the development of the global community, which will be the focus of the entire beauty industry in the near future.

The main trends in the development of the salon business

Beauty salons remain one of the fastest growing segments of the beauty industry: the emergence of new technologies, both cosmetic and digital, changing customer behavior, the development of new products and procedures are the dominant factors that determine the growth of the salon market. At the same time, we can quite identify the most promising trends in its development.

1. Active growth in the consumption of beauty salon services

Starting in 2010, the beauty salon industry began to develop dynamically, thanks to a significantly increased demand for professional cosmetic services. The modern concept of beauty and personal care has literally evolved: if earlier the services of such establishments were used mainly by women, then over the past 10 years the male segment has increased exponentially. The profits of the global beauty salon market are expected to increase due to the increase in net income per capita. Consumers themselves are willing to pay more for professional treatments. At the same time, a significant increase in the wealth of the middle class has changed the consumer lifestyle, which increased the willingness of customers to buy beauty products and services.

At the same time, over the past 5-7 years, the attitude towards attracting clients has changed. First of all, beauty salons began to focus on target groups of consumers, selecting a portfolio of their services specifically for them. Marketing strategies are developed in such a way as to maximize the interest of regular customers in the conditions of fierce competition, offering them all kinds of bonuses - from a loyalty program to samples of luxury cosmetics.

Salon owners should also take into account the demographic characteristics of the markets - ethnic diversity, as well as the demand for beauty salon services by teenagers and children.

2. Opening new beauty salons based on franchising

The development of the market of beauty salons around the world is also influenced by the activities of international companies. At the same time, one of the most promising directions industry development - the work of the salon on the basis of a franchise. For many entrepreneurs, including professional cosmetologists, franchising provides a number of advantages: the franchise itself offers a proven way of doing business, which not only allows you to build a reliable customer base, but also provides a quality standard for their service.

The cost of such a franchise can range from 100-200 thousand US dollars to 1 million. It all depends on how popular the brand is and what services it provides to its customers. For example, the following franchises are in high demand in the American and European markets: Camille Albane, Dessange, Fantastic Sams. Under the names of these brands, hundreds of salons successfully operate throughout Europe, and at the moment they are conquering the North American market. They specialize in providing exclusive beauty services, from traditional skin care to innovative anti-aging treatments.

3. Beauty salons are going mobile in every way.

Mobility is what consumers value in all areas of service. In some countries, for example, in the USA and India, on such popular Internet platforms as Amazon or Groupon, beauty salons can order the services of a professional cosmetologist, hairdresser, manicurist and even waxing at any time and place convenient for the client. . Not surprisingly, many salon owners are starting to actively invest in the purchase of portable beauty equipment to meet the needs of their clients.

The “delivery” of beauty salon services directly to the customer is associated with another trend in the beauty industry. Agree, a hairdresser or a beautician cannot bring home the entire range of necessary products. Therefore, many salons practice online sales of cosmetics, which allows the client to order the services of a professional and the corresponding preparations with just one click of the mouse. At the same time, some brands promise cosmetologists a commission for the sale of their own products, which makes visiting the client more profitable.

Bet on Cell phones– an effective way to attract customers

The use of Internet technologies, as it is not surprising, is another factor in the successful development of beauty salons in the future. However, today it is not enough for a beauty salon to simply have its own website with a description of the available procedures and products. Special applications for smartphones are in high demand, providing the client with the opportunity to make an appointment with the right specialist directly, simply using their phone. Fast, mobile, convenient - these are the main indicators of modern consumer behavior.

4. Beauty salons - now men's territory

Literally 10 years ago, representatives of the strong half of humanity were rare clients of cosmetology establishments. Even today, men's hygiene products, cosmetics and perfumes account for only 11% of the total beauty industry. However, the development of the modern world has changed the attitude of society towards the role of men and women in it. It is not surprising that over the past year, the growth of the male segment of cosmetics and procedures has significantly outpaced the female segment - in 2016 its volume amounted to 21 billion US dollars. Brazil, South Korea, the US, Germany and the UK are the leading local markets for the male beauty industry, while in China this category grew by an unprecedented 20%.

According to a study by Salon Service, last year 25% of the total number of visitors to beauty salons were men. Given the pace of market development, this figure will increase significantly. What is this category of clients interested in? Massages, facials, hair removal with laser or wax. As it is not surprising, but over the past year, the demand for hair coloring among men has increased significantly, the most popular being a silver-gray shade.

Beauty salons - everything to maintain male beauty.

The consumer behavior of men differs in that they are more strongly attached to certain brands, unlike women, and when buying cosmetics, they carefully follow the advice of cosmetologists. In addition, the owners of beauty salons should take into account that representatives of the strong half of humanity have begun to use the services of solariums much less, which indicates an increased interest in maintaining skin health. In addition, men prefer salons that combine traditional techniques with the use of modern technology. In addition, today it is very important to open an exclusively male beauty salon. The profitability and popularity of such an enterprise can be judged by the abundance of barbershops that have opened around the world.

5. Integrated marketing is the key to the success of the salon

For many entrepreneurs, the right marketing in in social networks and on the Internet ends with the creation of a regular salon website with a description of its services, pricing policy, a staff of specialists. Some of the most advanced users add a news section to the site, integrate Twitter, Facebook, VK, Instagram accounts into it. But what is the purpose of such actions? General advertising and promotions. By no means!

Mobile marketing should not be underestimated, as 68% of companies include such technologies in their marketing strategies. And by 2019, thanks to the unprecedented proliferation of smartphones, mobile marketing will account for about 72% of the digital advertising budget.
Upgrading the salon website (about 57% of mobile users would not recommend a business whose website they didn't like even if serviced normally) is key. The use of appropriate visual accompaniment is a must, because the current generation of mobile gadget users are not accustomed to reading a lot. In the literal sense, for this category of clients, it is better to see once.

Sending alerts and news is an effective channel of communication with consumers. Got new cosmetics, introduced an innovative procedure, changed hours of operation - let your customers know about it. An SMS message will be enough, but it must be personalized.

The beauty salon market is one of the most dynamically developing segments of this industry, but at the same time, it is also considered to be one of the most competitive. With all the variety of cosmetic products and procedures, surprising the consumer with something exclusive is not an easy task. Therefore, the success of a beauty salon lies not only in innovation, but also in quality service, the implementation of a competent marketing strategy, and proper promotion in social networks.

We are used to seeing men as entrepreneurs. However, women are not inferior, and sometimes even surpass the stronger sex in business acumen and the pursuit of financial well-being. Because, along with the general areas of business, women can engage in specific women's business. What, in fact, we now know: simple and complex female business ideas.

The areas of women's business, traditionally, are cosmetology, fashion, lingerie, children's products and many others, in which women are trusted much more readily than men. Well, you see, in the lingerie department, the seller is a man, this is the path to unsuccessful trading. Again, women have such qualities as coquetry, charm, seduction, flirting. These qualities are great helpers in business and they are not available to men.

So, what are the traditional ideas of women's business?
