Are Salons Getting Disrupted

The Facts

  • Around 54 per cent of hairdressers are employed full-time.
  • The workforce is largely female, with women making up 86 per cent of employment.
  • A small number of surveyed employers expressed the opinion that the number of home salons is increasing, making it more difficult to recruit employees for wage and salary positions.
  • Service Skills Australia also reported that industry stakeholders have raised concerns about home based salons.

What is Disruption?

Today disruption effectively means disrupting traditional ways of doing things. So getting your hair done at a Salon at prices that include high cost margins is being disrupted by Hairdressers willing to work from Home. If you are a traditional business then you may find disruption annoying and possibly extremely dangerous to your salon business, just like taxi drivers with Uber.

I will confess that I do hair from Home. It started as friends and family, and grew into a business. I also free-lance at various Salons around Sydney and facilitate training at other salons – helping hairdressers work better. smarter, safer and increasing income. I love that I have the freedom to help my Industry colleagues experience more commercial successes.

Its about more revenue streams and that beats the wages and conditions that many salons have on offer. I know its not popular – but its the way of the future.  Evolve or die!
