Hairdressers will see their salaries increase in Switzerland. For certain professional categories, the increase will even reach 700 francs per month over four years. This corresponds to 20%, the Syna union indicated on Friday.
The union welcomes the renewal of the national collective agreement (CCN) for the branch. “The negotiations were not easy, but we obtained substantial improvements in minimum wages,” comments Migmar Dhakyel, branch manager at Syna, quoted in a press release.
Minimum salaries will increase every year until 2027. For qualified employees who have completed their apprenticeship (CFC), the increase reaches on average 440 francs per month, or 5,280 francs per year. People with a federal professional training certificate (AFP) will benefit from an increase of 340 francs and employees without qualifications will see their salary increased by 420 francs per month.
A “historic” increase
This corresponds to average increases of 11% until 2027. “Slowly but surely, we are lifting the sector out of the low-wage zone,” underlines Migmar Dhakyel, welcoming a “historic” result.
For example, after an apprenticeship, a first-year hairdresser currently earns 3,850 francs. In 2027, this worker will be entitled to nearly 4,500 francs, according to the new CCT, she explains. That year, a person at the start of their career will receive 4,240 francs.
The new CCN also provides for paternity leave of 13 days paid at 100%. And all hairdressers will benefit from 2.5 additional days of vacation per year.
