According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the hair care service industry generated $16.7 billion in revenues in 2002. That growth has continued despite the country's most recent economic slump. 

"Hair dressing services have proven to be virtually recession-proof, as consumers traditionally cut back on other discretionary expenses before decreasing their spending on personal grooming," according to a Gale Industry report. 

 

That growth has also affected the spa industry, as people view spa visits as a vital part of a healthy lifestyle. A shortage of high-quality, trained spa professionals was cited as one of the major challenges facing the spa industry, according to experts that attended the first Global Spa Summit in New York in 2007.
