Employee Based Salon Owner Data for Eco-Friendly Products
When asked about how commission, hourly and team based pay owners feel about their eco-conscious practices, this is the overall data that was provided. This data tells us although the push is towards a less toxic salon, spa and barber shop is discussed, it is not fully implemented into employee based salons.
The cost of eco-friendly salon products tend to be higher. Occasionally although organic products are better for the human race, sometimes they do not yield the results owners need for client retention and satisfaction.
With more salon corporations offering a less toxic product, we are still in the infancy of wide adoption for employee based salons and a greener attitude.
Criminal History and Background Check Salon Owner Hiring Statistics
When asked about what owners prefer or require from applicants concerning a criminal history, this is the overall data that was provided. An overwhelming statistic is demonstrated in this data- almost 50% of employee based salons, spas and barbershops do not conduct background checks.
Is this a cost prohibitive issue or do commission, hourly and team based salon owners feel a criminal past does not reflect the ability for a salon professional to perform in their salons? It is clear that very few employee based salons, spas and barbershops do not hire those with a more controversial criminal past- only 6% of employee based salon businesses hire professionals with more than one mark on their record.

This should come as a relief to professionals looking to build a client base when looking for a new salon job. Elite salon businesses in larger cities and states like Pennsylvania and New Jersey where booth rental is prohibited, had the highest stats for pros to come ready to work with an established client base.
If you are an employee based owner, make the expectations on what you expect and what you provide in a client base very clear to avoid turnover in your salon.
Data on Salon Owners who Encourage a Competitive Environment
When asked about employee competition in salon businesses, this is the overall data that was provided. Interestingly the stats demonstrate a lack of a competitive nature in their businesses.
Does this mean that salon contests or encouraging a competitive environment is a thing of the past? Are salon owners with employees worn down from a poor economic climate or do they find salon staff hard to motivate?
Whatever the case may be, the majority of employee based salons, spas and barbershops have shied away from having a competitive environment. With an overwhelming 77% of employee based owners claiming a less competitive business model, salon professionals are not held to the high standard of superior performance one would expect in a thriving salon business.
