FEATURE ARTICLE: 1997 Annual National Retail Census
September 1997 (No. 6.6), by Jack Richman, of Audits & Surveys Worldwide



Beauty Shops & Barber Shops

Although the total number of hair cutting establishments has remained fairly constant, barber shops have declined 21% since 1990, while "beauty shops" have increased 9% during the same period. The reason is that "beauty shops," defined as shops that offer permanent waves, hair styling and coloring, are now often unisex, attracting both male and female customers.
