02 · The market
What the India salon market numbers mean for Punjab specifically
Anyone evaluating a salon franchise in Punjab today is entering a ₹1.01 lakh crore national market.
The opportunity is increasingly moving beyond the metros. Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities already account for around 38% of salon demand, putting markets across Punjab firmly inside the industry’s growth story.
But growing demand creates another problem: every new salon needs trained hairstylists, beauticians and beauty professionals to serve those customers.
For a salon investor, the question is therefore not only “Is there enough demand?” It is also “Can I keep enough trained professionals on the floor to capture it?”
