Data problems

Despite the large, and ever expanding, body of literature on the professional beauty services and products market in the USA, reliable industry-wide data is difficult to find. There is major conflict about much of the data in circulation. The conflict extends to even the basics of the market, that is, the numbers of outlets, employees, and turnover, along with annual variations, and the breakout revenues from the different service and product categories.

 

Experts advise caution
