\"World<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, a haircut is one of the most common forms of grooming services that are performed on a regular basis. But have you ever wondered what a haircut costs in different cities around the world? And what determines the cost?<\/p>\n

The answer to this is based on an analysis made by the financial services company UBS, which determined a pattern between the prices of different services and local wages. Cities with higher gross salaries such as Zurich, <\/strong>Oslo, <\/strong>Copenhagen, and <\/strong>San Francisco, displayed a higher cost<\/strong> for haircuts for men and women.<\/p>\n

The cost varies also on the fact of personal choice, where cost versus benefit comes into play\u2026.for example, if one gets a haircut, at a cost of less than $20, but needs to get this done more than 5 or 6 times a year, as compared to a haircut which costs above $80, but is only done once a year, then the price variation would be calculated on terms of the benefits one gets.<\/p>\n

While analyzing this benefit, another important key point was highlighted; women pay much more<\/strong> (nearly three times more) for a haircut than men.<\/p>\n

What can be deduced from this analysis is, women, end up paying much more for a haircut in a \u2018cheap city,\u2019 than a man needing the same service in a relatively expensive city. For example, a man can get nearly 20 haircuts in Manila, Philippines, or in Mumbai, India, as compared to a woman who could get a single haircut in Oslo, or Zurich, for the same amount. This imbalance is seen across the globe, with women\u2019s haircuts costing on average 40% more than men\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The reason for this imbalance is ambiguous, as most salons justify this imbalance on the basis of the fact that a women\u2019s haircut is more complex, uses more products than a men\u2019s haircut, and takes longer. The ambiguous justification for this imbalance could be that a woman\u2019s satisfaction and expectation from a haircut are much higher than that of a man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
