Built for Detroit hair salons
Detroit had 1,112 employer beauty salons in 2023. The share in the smallest class was 64 percent, with 227 at five to nine staff and 126 at ten to nineteen, so the metro has a solid core of mid-sized salons. That is the size at which double-bookings and unclear schedules start to cost real money, and per-stylist calendars with each service's own length keep the day honest. Unlike the barbershop picture, the salon count is led by Oakland County at 447, ahead of Wayne at 354 and Macomb at 229.
The figures cover all six counties in the Census definition of the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI metro, from Lapeer County and Livingston County to Macomb County, not just the city itself. For comparison, the same area had 126 employer barbershops, roughly one for every 9 salons. Because CBP covers only establishments with paid employees, a stylist renting a booth or working alone is not in the salon count. By establishment count it ranks 17 among the 20 most populous US metros.
County by county, Oakland County had 447, Wayne County 354 and Macomb County 229. Oakland County alone holds 40 percent of the metro total. By size, 715 had under five staff, 227 had five to nine, 126 had ten to nineteen, 42 had twenty to forty-nine. Detroit's 1,112 sits nearest to Minneapolis-St. Paul, which had 1,133. Set against 4,369,590 residents in the 2023 estimate, it works out to roughly 25.4 per 100,000 people, ranking 17 of 20.
Michigan has a separate Board of Cosmetology within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), distinct from the state's Board of Barbers.

Where should I share my booking page?
Anywhere clients find you: your social bios, your website and your business listings. It is one link that always shows live availability.
Do long color appointments block the right amount of time?
Yes. Each service carries its own duration, so a long color booking takes the time it needs and a quick blowout only takes its slot.
