I don't know, but it's either a lot or the service is really expensive. They're wearing fitted uniforms. They don't hesitate at all, so it's clearly a well-practiced routine for them. They seem pretty healthy, happy and well-groomed, so their wages are at least decent, if not above the local average. In fact, it looks like they've had their hair and makeup done by a professional. That's not cheap. Furthermore, this is all being filmed in color in the 1930s. I don't have the numbers on hand, but I imagine thats the contemporary equivalent of filming in 70mm IMAX, not cheap. This is very obviously a big budget operation. For whatever reason, the demand for a salon that's specifically equipped to serve ambulatory scarecrows, tin men, anthropomorphic lions, and teenaged Kansas farm girls was extremely high in that particular time and place.
The Land of Oz is home to all kinds of fantastical creatures, some of which are living objects. I remember in particular the Glass Cat and the Sawhorse. There is also a region entirely peopled by porcelain figurines, so it's not really a stretch to think that the Emerald City would be prepared for any manner of being.
