Depending on who you ask hair, nail, and beauty salons are either affected negatively by a recession -- like one which is occurring right now -- or can be helped by a shifting economy. Believers on both sides fervently support their own points of view.
On the one hand, you have those that believe a falling economy or recession will have an extremely devastating effect on salon industries. As customers lose jobs, or struggle to put food on the table, the salon will see a drop in clientele, and will eventually be forced to close -- if an escape is not found. This pessimistic view does have a valid point, and while it is assured that a salon will lose business during a recession -- due to families cutting budgets -- this does not mean that all of their business will be affected by this.
There are also powerfully positive effects that come from recession times in the salon industry. Firstly, appearance is a big factor in applying for, interviewing, and fighting for a job. In these times, salons see higher business from men looking to turn their grey hair into a younger look, so they can battle the younger generations for available positions. Women also need to look their best to apply for positions in a highly competitive space.
So while their are valid points on both sides, it is also true to say that a properly managed salon, which continues to market itself even during rough economic times, will have a much better chance of surviving and even continuing its salon business expansion during these times. The most important thing to remember is to keep your salon looking good, that all hairdressing salon furniture is clean and in good condition, and that your services remain quality-driven.
