Built for Los Angeles hair salons
Los Angeles and Orange counties together hold 3,689 employer beauty salons, second only to New York. Three quarters have fewer than five staff, and another 603 sit in the five-to-nine band, so the typical salon here is a small team rather than a solo chair or a large house. That is the size where a shared calendar starts to matter: one stylist's late client becomes the next stylist's problem unless everyone can see the whole day.
The figures cover the whole metro as the Census Bureau draws it, which is two counties: Los Angeles County and Orange County. For comparison, the same area had 235 employer barbershops, roughly one for every 16 salons. Because CBP covers only establishments with paid employees, a stylist renting a booth or working alone is not in the salon count. On that count Los Angeles is the second largest of the 20 most populous US metros.
Los Angeles County had 2,656 and Orange County had 1,033, so Los Angeles County holds 72 percent of the metro total. By size, 2,798 had under five staff, 603 had five to nine, 203 had ten to nineteen, 84 had twenty to forty-nine. Los Angeles's 3,689 sits nearest to Chicago, which had 2,935. Set against 12,886,400 residents in the 2023 estimate, it works out to roughly 28.6 per 100,000 people, ranking 12 of 20. For other CA metros in the top 20 the counts were Riverside-San Bernardino 691, San Francisco Bay 1,189, San Diego 847.
Los Angeles stylists and salons are licensed by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, the body that licenses and regulates the state's barbering and beauty industry.
