A recent survey conducted by the London-based lifestyle research firm LonLyf has revealed an intriguing trend: over 75% of men report being more loyal to their barbers than to their romantic partners.
This loyalty often begins in childhood, with many men going out of their way to return to former neighborhoods just for a haircut from a trusted barber.

Experts attribute this attachment to routine, familiarity, and a sense of comfort. In fact, 45% of respondents say they stick with their barber to avoid having to explain their preferences, while 30% cite fear of an unsatisfactory result.
The bond between a man and his barber is often seen as sacred. The barbershop serves as more than just a place for a haircut; it’s a sanctuary where men can share stories, vent frustrations, and seek advice. This relationship often evolves into a genuine friendship that lasts for years.
