According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall employment for barbers, cosmetologists, and other personal appearance workers is projected to grow slightly faster than the average for all occupations.  Opportunities for entry level workers should be favorable, while job candidates at high-end establishments will face keen competition.  Personal appearance workers will grow by 14 percent from 2006 to 2016, which is faster than the average for all occupations.  This growth primarily will be a result of an increasing population and from the growing demand for personal appearance services, particularly skin care services.
Continued growth in the number of nail salons and full-service day spas will generate numerous job openings for manicurists, pedicurists and skin care specialists.  Estheticians and other skin care specialists will see large gains in employment, and are expected to grow 34 percent as more facial procedures to improve one's complexion become available and become more popular in spas and some medical settings.  Makeup artists are expected to grow by 40 percent.
