Outlook
Demand for this career is expected to be strong. As more people become interested in personal appearance services such as hair, skin, and nail care, demand will increase. However, hairstylists and cosmetologists will likely have to compete with manicurists for nail care.
Competition will be strong for jobs in higher-paying salons where turnover is low. Job openings in most salons will occur as people retire or leave the career for other reasons.
