Beauty Salon & Parlour

About This Business

Open a beauty salon or parlour offering hair styling, skincare, bridal makeup, threading, waxing, manicures, pedicures, and grooming services. India's beauty and wellness industry is growing at 15 to 20 percent annually, valued at over 1 lakh crore rupees. This business is especially suitable for women entrepreneurs, who get the higher 25 percent PMEGP subsidy in urban areas, and a revamped Stand Up India scheme has been promised after the original closed in March 2025. Bridal services and pre-wedding packages command premium prices and generate strong word-of-mouth. Adding services like hair smoothing, advanced skincare treatments, and men's grooming significantly increases revenue per customer. Salon chains like Naturals, Lakme Salon, and Jawed Habib also offer franchise opportunities for entrepreneurs who prefer a structured brand model.
