*The need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations, retire, or leave the labor force for other reasons.

*An increasing population, which will lead to greater demand for basic hair services.

*Increasing demand for hair coloring and other advanced hair treatments has increased in recent years, particularly among baby boomers and young people. This trend is expected to continue, leading to an increase demand for cosmetologist.
