Questions
How many hair salons are in Kansas?
Map listings as of September 2026 show 2,565 hair salons in Kansas. 494 of them (19%) are chain locations. The listings count hair and beauty salons. Official counts show 654 businesses with payroll classed as beauty salons in 2023, up 2.8% from 2019. Official counts also show 5,996 one-person businesses without payroll.
How much do households in Kansas spend on personal care products and services?
About $1.2B a year, or $996 per household. That is in line with the U.S. average (an index of 99, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 2,565 hair salons on map listings, it comes to $456K per salon. That spending covers all personal care products and services, which hair salons share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 1,174,060 households in Kansas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Kansas compare with the U.S. for hair salons?
Kansas has 21.8 hair salons per 10,000 households, 7% below the U.S. rate of 23.4. Spending per salon is $456K, 6% above the U.S. figure of $430K. At the U.S. ratio of hair salons to household spending, Kansas would have about 2,718, against 2,565 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,795 households, against one for every 1,535 across the U.S. The official count rose 2.8% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.0% for the U.S.

Among 13 scored small-town markets in or partly in Kansas, the McPherson area scores highest, at 63 (upper middle). Among 38 scored counties in Kansas, Pottawatomie County scores highest, at 76 (high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Kansas scores 47 for hair salons (lower middle), #29 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Kansas. It maps the hair salons on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
