Move over ladies: men can wear hair extensions too.
If your male clients haven’t already asked you about hair extension services, get ready. They likely soon will.
The way we see it, this latest hair trend to take the salon world by storm is being driven by a combination of three things:
1. Men follow Hollywood trends, too: Celebs like Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Owen Wilson and Zac Efron – with their longer, messy manes – are helping set the trend.
2.Men will do anything to avoid going bald: Some men experiencing male pattern baldness are turning to hair extensions as an alternative to hair loss serums or creams.
3.Men can’t commit: Some men see hair extensions as a quick and easy way to give themselves a new look or new color – without any permanent change.
Are your male clients asking for hair extension services? Share your best practices with us.
