- [Seoul salon openings and survival](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/topics/business-life): Read annual flows and fully observed permit-year cohorts without forecasting a shop’s future.

## Statistics

- [Seoul Beauty Salons by District](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/statistics/by-district): The matched Seoul permit records contain 33,762 normal-operation entries across 25 districts.
- [Seoul Beauty Salons by Business Type](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/statistics/by-type): Source business-type labels distinguish current permit composition without establishing a complete service or licence list.
- [Seoul Salon Openings and Closures](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/statistics/openings-closures): Annual counts describe dated permit events, with the unfinished current year kept separate from complete years.
- [Seoul Beauty Salon Survival Rates](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/statistics/survival-rate): Survival is a site calculation on coherent permit cohorts, with unobserved horizons and missing denominators kept unavailable.
- [Seoul Salons and Foreign Residents](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/statistics/foreign-residents): A resident rate needs an official matched denominator and does not identify foreign customers or owners.

## Articles

- [How many beauty salons are recorded in Seoul?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/counting-seoul-salons): A permit total counts administrative rows under a declared state filter rather than workers, customers or verified opening hours.
- [Do more Seoul salons mean more competition?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/counts-and-competition): Permit counts describe recorded supply and do not independently measure local demand, costs or profitability.
- [Which Seoul district fits a salon comparison?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/district-comparison): A useful district comparison fixes the business type, state, period and denominator before ordering the figures.
- [How can Seoul salon opening seasonality be checked?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/opening-seasonality): Annual opening totals cannot establish a seasonal pattern; a claim about months needs comparable dated observations.
- [How should Seoul salon survival rates be read?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/reading-survival): Read the eligible cohort and observed horizon before comparing a survival percentage with another record.
- [How do hair and skin beauty licences differ?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/licence-and-business-types): The legal work scope, qualification route and local beauty licence must be checked separately from a permit dataset’s type label.
- [What must a foreign salon operator check in Seoul?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/foreign-salon-startup): Residence activity scope, a relevant beauty licence and local business-reporting conditions are separate checks.
- [What should be checked before a Seoul salon report?](https://seoulsalonfacts.org/articles/opening-report-checks): The business type, licence route, facilities, hygiene education and applicable documents must be read as separate reporting conditions.
