Built for Seattle barbers
Seattle has the most unusual barbershop profile in this set. Of 121 employer barber shops, only 43 percent had fewer than five staff, by far the lowest share among the twenty, while 42 had five to nine and 10 had twenty to forty-nine. Washington also sets a minimum of 1,000 school hours for a barber license. Larger shops staffed by licensed barbers need a calendar that keeps every barber's hours and services straight. King County had 80 of the 121 shops, with Snohomish at 26 and Pierce at just 15.
Those counts are for the full Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metro, made up of King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. The same data shows 1,418 beauty salons, or about 11.7 per barbershop. Keep in mind that County Business Patterns covers only establishments with paid employees, and plenty of barbers work as one-person businesses.
The largest county counts were King County at 80, Snohomish County at 26 and Pierce County at 15. King County alone holds 66 percent of the metro total. By headcount, 52 had under five staff, 42 had five to nine, 17 had ten to nineteen, 10 had twenty to forty-nine. Of the 20 most populous metros, the closest count to Seattle's 121 is Phoenix's 122. With 4,078,828 people in the 2023 population estimate, Seattle has about 3.0 per 100,000, 8 of 20 metros.
Washington's Department of Licensing requires a license for anyone who provides barber services for a fee, and sets a minimum of 1,000 school hours for a barber license.
