Booking software for hair salons in Riverside

The Inland Empire counted 691 employer beauty salons, 14.7 per 100,000 residents, by some way the lowest salon density in this set. About 65 percent had fewer than five staff and 162 had five to nine. Lower density means each salon is drawing from a wider catchment, so making it easy to book online, at whatever hour a client gets around to it, matters more than in a crowded downtown. Riverside County, with 418, has more of them than San Bernardino County's 273, even though the two counties share one metro.

Census defines this metro as Riverside County and San Bernardino County, so the numbers here run past the Riverside city limits. Barbershops with employees numbered 71 across the same counties, so there were about 9.7 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. By establishment count it ranks 20 among the 20 most populous US metros.

Riverside County had 418 and San Bernardino County had 273, so Riverside County holds 60 percent of the metro total. Sorted by staff numbers, 452 had under five staff, 162 had five to nine, 61 had ten to nineteen, 16 had twenty to forty-nine. Riverside-San Bernardino's 691 sits nearest to San Diego, which had 847. For other CA metros in the top 20 the counts were Los Angeles 3,689, San Francisco Bay 1,189, San Diego 847.

Inland Empire salons share a regulator with barbershops: California merged its Board of Barber Examiners and Board of Cosmetology in 1992 to form the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.
