This is how a fresh trim affects a client's mood and wellbeing

Wahl’s latest survey, conducted by YouGov, revealed that maintained personal grooming can have an effect on a man’s overall wellbeing and outlook on life. The figures reveal that even though 81% of men feel most confident in the two-week period after a haircut or beard trim, 70% leave the hairstyle for over a month between trims. Because of the time left between cuts, seven out of ten men have a lack of confidence in everyday life because of their hair - all while a simple solution is close at hand. Researchers found that this lack of confidence can have a significant impact on a man’s life, especially in social and work situations. It seems that a fresh cut gives 32% of men the confidence to deal with challenging work situations. Also, 81% of the men questioned share that they will feel more confident in social situations, comparing to 84% of men who feel negative when they go out without a fresh cut or beard trim. Sam Campagna, a Wahl ambassador from Alternative Barbering Co, confirms the difference in her clients’ attitude before and after their haircut. She says: “I see the boost a fresh cut can give a guy, but the difference from when they leave one visit to when they come back in a month later is quite distinct. It’s so simple to have an at-home refresh. You don’t need to be sat in the barber’s chair every week to be at your peak!” Research for this survey was carried out among 2 100 UK males, ranging from 30 to 55  on their personal grooming habits and the importance of a haircut.
