An Overview of Hair and Beauty Salons in Germany

While the professional beauty market in Germany has largely bounced back from the pandemic years, 87% of beauty salon owners worry about the energy crisis that drive up running and rental costs of beauty and hair salons in Germany. Therefore, many consumers are feeling the pinch, however they’re still booking treatments and haircuts.

As Germany’s lagging economy is finally picking up, beauty treatments will become more affordable again. New co-working business models for cosmeticians and hairdressers looking to become self-employed are shaking up the market and will enliven the traditional industry structures and offer more flexibility and booking options to customers.

Professional Beauty Services in Germany: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Beauty & Hair Salons in Germany: The professional beauty market in Germany proves its resilience, as almost all beauty salon treatment categories showed a rise in usage in 2023. However, the hairdressing industry is faring less well – 49% of Germans had their hair professionally trimmed in 2023, compared to 55% in 2020. Still, for the majority of consumers, haircuts and trims remain an essential.
  • A New Outlook on Professional Beauty Services in Germany: The importance of mental health continues to grow and so is the role of beauty treatments and hair maintenance in improving mental and emotional wellbeing. Emphasising the wellbeing effects of beauty treatments and/or offering financial incentives such as loyalty perks can help draw in customers, as they appeal to 27% of Germans.

A Market Forecast for Hair and Beauty Salons

  • The professional beauty market in Germany is benefitting from new salon models that cater to a clientele that value flexibility. Opportunities include express treatments which are especially popular with male customers and working respondents, or offering basic beauty treatments in the customer’s home, which female customers in particular find relaxing.
  • Life stage-specific treatments such as pregnancy or post-pregnancy care are another potentially lucrative angle, as 17% of treatment users are interested in services designed for their age and gender.

Trusted by global industry leaders

Bauer Media Group logo

We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.

Abby Carvosso, Group Managing Director, Bauer Media Group
VML logo

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, VML
Epsilon logo

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon
Abacus logo

There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus
Deutsch logo

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
