The Square 2025 Future of Beauty report uses insights from thousands of beauty entrepreneurs and customers worldwide to find out what the industry is focused on, and it predicts what your most important customers will look for next.

Beauty entrepreneurs are always innovating, from new styles and treatments to building their audiences and growing their community footprints. No matter the type of beauty business you run, clients’ reliance on their trusted beauty pros isn’t going anywhere.

“I would argue that if you have a sharp price and you know your customer demographic, that beauty is recession-proof,” said Sofie Pavitt, founder of Sofie Pavitt Skincare Studio and Sofie Pavitt Face. “Even in really rough financial times, people will always want to feel good about themselves.”

Keeping up with evolving consumer needs for every part of the experience, from marketing to payments, can make the difference between a full appointment book and a row of empty stations.
