How to decide who is the right stylist for you?

It is hard to say in absolute terms who will be a better hair cutter among men or women. You cannot discriminate between different hair cutters and stylists in terms of their gender. Any competent, professional expert can handle your hair properly.

It is better that you keep one hair stylist rather than changing them frequently because your hair stylist will know your hair quality the best. Hair is such an important part of our overall appearance and you should never do anything that will expose it to danger.

Originally, hair cutting was a monopoly business of men. But now the situation has changed. More and more women are entering this field.

This trend can be traced back till the 1970s and 1980s but it was only in very recent times that a huge number of women started taking up hair cutting and hair styling as a profession. 



Statistics point out that out of 220,000 barbers worldwide, approximately fifty percent of them are women. A large number of women are taking barber examinations nowadays.

This number is going to increase in all probability. The reason of saying this is that one out of every three students is currently a female.

Statistics have also shown that number of women entering the profession of hair cutting and hair styling has increased by a huge rate in the last 4 or 5 years. Thus, the profession of barbering is getting more and more populated by women.

You might wonder about why more and more men are leaving this occupation which was once their monopoly.

The reason is that men are now more interested in cosmetology than barbering. Young men want to deal with hair in innovative ways, experimenting with different colors and styles.

This opportunity is not available in barbering, and that’s why men prefer cosmetology over barbering.

However, as more and more time goes by, cosmetology and barbering are merging to form a single occupation.

Nowadays, when you enter a salon, you get several services from one place like hair cutting, hair styling, hair curling, hair straightening, hair coloring, hair treatment and many more services.

Many people believe that it is best to get their hair cut by stylists of the opposite sex, as they will know more about which style will make them look good.

There are again many people who believe that men will be far better hair cutter and stylist than women. A male hairdresser will put forward the most special treatment toward your hair as if it is a piece of jewelry.

He will put in a hundred percent effort to make your hair look good and thus, to make you look most beautiful.

A great advantage of a male hairdresser is that his heart is not clouded by irrational jealousy. They know that they should not blend professionalism and personal interests.

In fact, they have the best interests in their heart for their customers.

They enjoy having a close rapport with their clients and never lag behind in praising you if you are looking very good. They also love to offer advice and are very good and sympathetic listeners to a woman’s sad stories.

So in all, a male hairdresser can be a woman’s best friend. A woman can say things to her hairdresser that she might not even say to her boyfriend or husband.

So it’s difficult to ascertain who can cut your hair better; on one side, a large number of women are entering this profession; on the other hand, male hairdressers gel most nicely with their client.
