MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and presentation
A beauty institute is legally defined as an establishment offering its clients beauty treatments other than medical and paramedical, as well as beauty modelling without medical purposes, according to article 16-1 of the law of July 5, 1996.
Beauty salons are therefore establishments that provide beauty treatments including body care, facials, beauty treatments, hair removal and other more specific treatments (UV tanning, pulsed light). They can be generalists, such as Yves Rocher, Body' Minute or Citron Vert, or specialized in a particular treatment, such as Nail' Minute, L'Atelier du Sourcil or Depil Tech, etc.
They face competition from selective perfumeries (Nocibé, Marionnaud, etc.) that have opened their own institutes within their stores, as well as from department stores (Printemps, Galeries Lafayette, etc.), fitness and thalassotherapy institutes, SPAs and massage salons.
In France, the majority of companies in the beauty salon sector are small independent structures and more than 80% of companies in the sector do not employ any employees. On the other hand, although the branded beauty salons, which belong to networks such as Yves Rocher or Body' Minute, are in the minority in terms of quantity, they capture a major part of the turnover and are developing more and more. Thus, the already fragmented beauty salon market is becoming increasingly fragmented.
2020 marked a logical decline in the market due to the Covid-19 epidemic. The latter not only led to the closure of beauty salons due to confinements, but also caused an economic upheaval and therefore a trade-off of households against spending on beauty care. As a result, the sector saw its turnover fall by 26% in 2020.
While the recovery has been relatively slow in 2021, notably due to the confinement at the beginning of the year, the sector benefits from significant growth levers, in particular digitalization, innovation and specialization, although it has not returned to its pre-crisis level.
