Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

A new survey, a new poll finds that 21% of men feel nervous asking their barber or hairstylist for a new look.

Speaker A:

I am definitely not in that 21%.

Speaker A:

I suppose I don't care about the way my hair looks enough because I'll often sit down and say, my hair is your palette, do as you wish.

Speaker A:

But the top hairstyles that men think they could pull off, the hairstyles that they don't have now, but they think, well, this would look good on me.

Speaker A:

The number one top hairstyle that people have considered and just let it grow out.

Speaker A:

Number two, the opposite, Fully shaved.

Speaker A:

Number three, the middle part.

Speaker A:

But if you, if you have anxiety about your hairstyle, guys, it's don't, don't feel alone.

Speaker A:

21% feel nervous asking for a new look.

Speaker A:

23% of men say they're afraid to ask for a specific haircut, even if they really want it.

Speaker A:

As we dig into these, this poll, the study finds that the average man gets their haircut 10 times per year.

Speaker A:

So it's about once every five weeks.

Speaker A:

And the average dude has the same hairstyle for seven years.

Speaker A:

I believe that because I think I'm going on about 15.

Speaker A:

84% of men say they're confident with their current hairdo.

Speaker A:

55% have never considered ever changing it.

Speaker A:

But still, 21% are anxious about asking for a new haircut.

Speaker A:

Actually, to be honest with you, I think that, I think that number slower than I, lower than I expected.

Speaker A:

I'm, I, I look, sometimes you get a haircut and before you even look in the mirror, you know you got a good haircut.

Speaker A:

In fact, there are several signs.

Speaker B:

Well, gather round, folks.

Speaker B:

It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Speaker B:

Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.

Speaker B:

Here comes the fun.

Speaker B:

It's the morning six pack.

Speaker A:

The top six signs that you know you got a bad haircut.

Speaker A:

Number six, after he finishes, your barber sprints to the airport and catches the next flight to a country without an extradition agreement with the U.S. wow, that got serious in a hurry.
