Job Demand Survey 2007
Results for Florida

 

Since 1990, NACCAS has commissioned several Job Demand Surveys, to provide quantitative data on cosmetology careers, earnings potential, and job openings.  The most recent survey, completed in May 2007, compiles data from 6,203 salons responding to a national survey. 

The 2007 Job Demand Survey results indicate that salons in Florida plan to hire 39,686 new employees in the next twelve months.  The average annual salary for a salon professional in Florida is $39,015.  This amount does not include tips and gratuities.  Nationally, the average salon professional’s salary is $35,973. 

Most importantly, 81 percent of Florida salon owners who attempted to hire new employees in 2006 said they were unable to find properly-trained applicants.  This means that jobs would be immediately available for salon professionals

Chart 1 – Percent of anticipated new hires by job category.

As of January 2007, there were 167,713 professionals employed at Florida’s 22,832 salons.  63 percent of salons in the state are employer-owned, and 13 percent are booth-rental salons.  The other 24 percent are a combination of the two.

51 percent of Florida salons are classified by their owners as full-service salons; 11 percent are listed as haircutting salons.  Barbershops make up 17 percent of the total.  Nationally, 58 percent of salons are listed as full-service, meaning that Florida has a somewhat higher percentage of specialized establishments.

 

Job Placement:

We have a strong relationship with our local salons and they want to meet our students even before you graduate. There is a dramatic shortage of Facial Specialists, Nail Technicians, Stylists, Massage Therapists and other salon professionals,offering a very unique industry opportunity with "Zero Unemployment". Whether it is a new first career option or a mid-life career change, there are many, many more job openings than there are licensed graduates to fill these openings.

 

Schedules:

Standard day schedules are 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, Monday - Friday. Evening Classes meet 5:30 to 9:30 pm Monday - Friday. Completing the program and preparing for licensure will take, for instance, 9.3 months on a 30 hour per week schedule. Individualized schedules may be arranged to meet your needs.
