Recently, I conducted a small “unscientific” survey to find out how much men and women spend on haircuts.  Not surprising, everyone wants a great haircut at a good price. 

What I found most interesting was that respondents who were classified in Academics spent more on their haircuts than Consultants.  IT professionals spent the least and those in Sales spent the most.  Those in the Creative field were split evenly between $20-25 and $40-45 per haircut.  Maybe “creatives” are more likely to try out a new salon or maybe they are a ’spur of the minute’, gotta get it now kind of person.  It is interesting and something to ponder.  Enjoy the rest of the results.

Overall Price Paid:                              Age – Group (age of respondents)

Price paid per haircut Male : Female

From the data above, one might assume that once a male finds a hairstylist they like they stick with them.  Most men  schedule regular haircuts about every 4-6 weeks and therefore may have a more consistent relationship with their stylist than women and not be as apt to move.  What are your thoughts?
