What market opportunities are there with N.Bar?
Over the last two years, there has been a massive uptake in the world of beauty services:
- In 2021, as soon as the beauty industry reopened after lockdown, salons in the UK saw a 432% spike in bookings (Source: Beauty bookings service Treatwell)
- Companies House reports, “The beauty and health industry continues to grow rapidly, outpacing many other sectors in the retail industry, and is set to be worth £26.7 billion.”
- And the UK is one of the leading cosmetic consumers in Western Europe, according to Statista’s analysis of global consumer data.
Which shows just how important it is for us to feel and look good. And just how important businesses are who add joy into our lives.
So, if you’re thinking about a business in our sector, how does this translate to potential personal spend among your customers?
- Last year, booking app, Pamperbook, surveyed 900 UK hair & beauty salons and freelancers. They found clients spent an average £150–£160 per month just on nails, and a further £200–£250 per month on other beauty treatments (excluding hair and aesthetic spend). Imagine what this could mean for your own N.Bar business!
- Your salon will help to deliver joy to your share of almost 700,000 customers, which The Grooming Company treats, each year.
