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.

We have a strong
relationship with our local salons and they
want to meet our students even before you

Facial Specialists, Nail Technicians,
Stylists, Massage Therapists and other
salon professionals, offering a very unique
industry opportunity with "Zero

there are many, many more job openings than
there are licensed graduates to fill these
openings.
