Hairdressing & Beauty Treatment in the UK - Market Size, Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecasts (2024-2029)

Bad styling: Industry revenue is expected to contract by 0.8% in 2023-24 due to consumer's increasing levels of cost consciousness

The Hairdressing and Beauty Treatment industry's revenue grew over the two years through 2018-19 bare hair salons remaining relatively sheltered from faltering economic conditions. Industry revenue has faced a flurry of challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis and increasingly clued-up consumers taking care of their grooming. Industry revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 4.1% to £4.3 billion over the five years through 2023-24, including a contraction of 0.8% in the current year due to rising operating costs and increasing levels of cost consciousness among consumers, which has created pressure to set lower prices, negatively affecting revenue and profit. The average profit in the industry is expected to be 29.4% in 2023-24.
