Unions will oppose a bid by employers in the hair and beauty industry to reduce Sunday and public holiday penalty rates. The push, which would reduce wages in the sector by up to $91 a week, has been described as "disgraceful" by Hair Stylists Australia spokeswoman Vanessa Watt; she says hairdressers already receive modest pay and are often victims of wage theft. However, Australian Industry Group CEO Innes Willox contends that the sector has many similarities to the retail and pharmacy industries, whose penalty rates were cut in 2017.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 6.2 million Australians aged 14+ (32 per cent) paid for hairdressing in an average four-week period in the year to June 2015. The survey also shows that 4.1 million Australians (21 per cent) buy home hair colouring products in an average six months. Overall, 25 per cent of men and 38 per cent of women got a professional haircut, styling or colouring recently, while 11 per cent and 31 per cent respectively dyed their hair at home at least once in the last six months. Meanwhile, L’Oreal is purchased by 26 per cent of women dyeing their own hair and 16 per cent of men, making it the number one brand among both genders.
