Booking software for hair salons in Miami

Miami's 2,590 employer beauty salons work out to 40.9 per 100,000 residents, close to New York's density and well above most of the twenty. Most are small: 83 percent had fewer than five staff. Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties all sit inside the metro, so a salon may serve clients spread along a long coastline, and an email reminder the day before is often what keeps a booked appointment from slipping.

Census defines this metro as Broward County, Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County, so the numbers here run past the Miami city limits. Barbershops with employees numbered 302 across the same counties, so there were about 8.6 beauty salons for each one. CBP counts only establishments with paid employees, which means booth renters and solo stylists without staff sit outside these numbers. On that count Miami is the fourth largest of the 20 most populous US metros.

Miami-Dade County led with 970, ahead of Palm Beach County (817) and Broward County (803). Miami-Dade County alone holds 37 percent of the metro total. Sorted by staff numbers, 2,138 had under five staff, 251 had five to nine, 156 had ten to nineteen, 43 had twenty to forty-nine. Miami's 2,590 sits nearest to Chicago, which had 2,935. For other FL metros in the top 20 the counts were Tampa Bay 1,140, Orlando 854.

Florida regulates salons under chapter 477, the Florida Cosmetology Act, which creates a seven-member Board of Cosmetology appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate.
