The report suggests that growth is partly driven by the UK’s night-time economy. A survey* of 2000 people showed that the average British consumer spends £17.56 getting ready for a night out, with 40% of men paying to have their beard trimmed.
Hilary Hall, NHF/NBF chief executive said: “While this is great news and shows that services which cannot be offered online are thriving, the continued growth of hair and beauty businesses means that many high streets are now saturated. The effect is that there are too many salons competing for the same clients."
