SSTUDIO
The trade in this neighbourhood
In the Sud-Ouest, the hairdressing and esthetics profession operates within a highly dense urban fabric, characterized by a low share of single-family homes at only 8.6%. The majority of clients live in apartments or condominiums, with the share of renter households reaching 65.2%. For beauty professionals offering at-home services, this layout requires great flexibility to set up in often limited and shared spaces, making local salons an essential anchor for this mobile population.
The housing stock presents a modern face with a median construction year of 2000. However, the reality on the ground shows that 8.7% of dwellings need major repairs. Mobile hairdressers and estheticians must deal with contrasting environments, moving from recent condominiums with secure access to older apartments requiring technical adjustments, such as managing water pressure or temperature during treatments.
Demographic composition also directly influences the services offered. With 23.8% of households with children, professionals adapt their schedules and packages to meet the needs of busy parents. Express at-home hair appointments or parent-child beauty treatments fit naturally into the daily routine of these Sud-Ouest families.
