Built for Tampa barbers
Tampa Bay's four counties held 122 employer barber shops, and 92 percent of them had fewer than five staff, the second-highest small-shop share of the twenty after Miami. At 3.6 per 100,000 residents the market is fairly dense. Small, owner-run shops in a dense market tend to compete on availability, so a booking page that shows today's open times is worth more than any advert.
Census defines this metro as Hernando County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County and Pinellas County, so the numbers here run past the Tampa city limits. There were 1,140 beauty salons with employees in the same metro, about 9.3 for every barbershop on the list. Part of that gap is how barbering works: CBP only counts establishments with paid employees, so a barber who rents a chair or works alone with no payroll does not show up.
Hillsborough County led with 62, ahead of Pinellas County (39) and Pasco County (17). Hillsborough County alone holds 51 percent of the metro total. Sorted by staff numbers, 112 had under five staff, 8 had ten to nineteen. Census does not publish every size class for this metro, so the classes shown may not add up to the total. Of the 20 most populous metros, the closest count to Tampa Bay's 122 is Phoenix's 122. Elsewhere in FL: Miami 302, Orlando 120.
Florida's barbering chapter says the legislature regulates the trade in the interest of public health, safety and welfare, while restrictions should go only as far as needed to protect the public and not unreasonably affect the competitive market.
