December 1, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EST)

Description


Inside iQ: What Your Graduates Actually Earn, and Why It Matters More Than Ever
Presented by Erin Kuhn Bhansali, Qnity for Schools 

Tuesday, December 1, at 1:00 pm ET

What do beauty professionals actually earn per hour? Why does federal wage data tell such a different story? And what do today's most profitable salons need from the graduates they hire? Join Qnity President Erin Kuhn Bhansali for a deep dive in iQ, Qnity's new data magazine for professional beauty. The Qnity Institute has analyzed more than 31,500 W-2s and over $1 billion in verified payroll across all 50 states. Every number comes from IRS-attested earnings and real P&Ls, not surveys or estimates. That data shows employee-based beauty professionals earn 58 to 121% more per hour than commonly reported federal wage data. For schools facing growing scrutiny over graduate earnings, skeptical parents, and a shrinking talent pipeline, that gap is the story the industry needs to tell. Together, we'll dig into: 

  • What beauty professionals really earn, and why hours worked change the entire conversation 
  • How to use verified earnings data with prospective students, parents, and high school counselors 
  • Why accurate compensation data matters in policy conversations about federal student aid 
  • What the most profitable salons look for in new talent 
  • How one salon leader uses the data to convince parents a beauty career is a real financial choice 
  • And much more

Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of the economics of the profession and practical ways to put the data to work in recruiting, career education, and advocacy.
