A recent survey of 2,000 U.S. men found that 21% experience anxiety when asking for a new hairstyle from their stylist or barber. Additionally, 23% have hesitated to request specific haircuts they desired in the past. To navigate this anxiety, 17% have opted for a more subdued version of their desired style. The study also showed that 36% have successfully communicated their preferences by showing a reference photo to their stylist. Most men (88%) reported that their stylist accurately replicated the desired haircut from the reference photo. The survey highlighted the importance of building trust and communication with stylists, with 74% believing that trust significantly influences the haircut they receive. (Story URL)
