It's not a labor shortage – it's a wage and workers rights shortage

Somehow people are going to need to get their hair cut, so this isn't going to be a horse liveries situation. More people may sacrifice quality or preference for a specific style & do it themselves. Some people might get shorter haircuts so they don't need one as often, maybe trim thing around the edges in between paid haircuts. Some people will be price elastic and pay higher prices.

The economics and behaviors may change, but the need won't go away.

You answered your own points! Prol buzz cuts, and luxury hair salons. Eventually automation might step in.

If Khrushchyovkas are ugly but efficient apartments, then let's call the hair style a "Khru cut" hee hee hee.
