Our exclusive monthly benchmarking stats for each sector of the market

Dorothy Perkins

With CBD oil beauty products rising in popularity because of the antioxidant properties of the plant-based alternative, it’s no wonder that almost a third (31%) of your clients are asking you about the ingredient, and whether they should incorporate it into their skincare routine. Other skincare trends you’re being asked about include the power of peptides (23%) and probiotics (10%) and the importance of the microbiome (4%).

When it comes to your bread-and-butter services, waxing has been doing incredibly well, as more people opt to see a professional for their hair-removal needs.

As a result, bikini waxing (35%) is your most popular intimate service, followed closely by Hollywood (34%), then Brazilian (17%).
