What the number means
Wyoming had 127 beauty salons in 2023, ranking number 51 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Together they employed 354 people and paid $10 million in annual payroll, an average of 2.8 employees per site.
These businesses make up 0.53% of every employer establishment in Wyoming, below the 1.01% national share. A site count is not the same as the number of companies: a chain with 40 locations counts 40 times.
83% of beauty salons in Wyoming have fewer than 5 employees, against 69% across the U.S.
Wyoming holds 0.2% of the nation's beauty salons and 0.3% of all U.S. employer establishments, so, measured against the state's overall size, the trade is under-represented. The most common size class is under 5 employees (106 sites). Average payroll per employee is $29,531, against $31,717 for the U.S. trade.

Questions
How many beauty salons are in Wyoming?
The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 127 beauty salons with paid employees in Wyoming in 2023. That ranks Wyoming number 51 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Is the number of beauty salons in Wyoming growing?
Between 2017 and 2023 the count shrank (8.0%), from 138 to 127. Across the United States the count changed by +6.7% over the same period. These years include the 2020 pandemic.
Does this count include self-employed owners with no staff?
No. County Business Patterns covers establishments with at least one paid employee. A sole proprietor with no employees is counted in a separate Census series called Nonemployer Statistics, which this site does not use yet, so the real number of people working in this trade is higher than the figure shown.
