Almost Half Admit to Fibbing to Their Partners About Hair Costs, Finds HairSalon.com.au Poll
Visits to the hairdresser are often viewed as a source of relaxation and indulgence, but how many of us are honest when it comes to disclosing the costs to our partners? A recent survey commissioned for HairSalon.com.au found the answer to be “about half”.
(PRWEB) November 9, 2009 -- Visits to the hairdresser are often viewed as a source of relaxation and indulgence, but how many of us are honest when it comes to disclosing the costs to our partners? A recent survey commissioned for HairSalon.com.au found the answer to be “about half”
A stylish haircut can cost hundreds of dollars
The survey question asked “Have you ever fibbed to your partner about the cost of your hair treatment?”, with total results as follows:
| | - 56% said they would never fib to their partner or friend, however
- 39% admitted to minor exaggerations, and
- 5% confessing to telling untruths all the time
|
Broken down by gender, the results proved even more telling with 49% of women admitting to stretching hairstyle truths either a lot or a little compared to only 18% of men.
According to HairSalon.com.au Spokesperson, Craig Seitam, “We’ve taken a fun approach with our survey. Being lighthearted, and using the word ‘fib’ instead of ‘lie’ has allowed respondents to be more open with us.”
“Although males formed only 15% of the survey field, I believe the imbalance of results comes down to the perception of what men believe a hairstyle should cost versus reality.”
“Perhaps men’s equivalent of this survey is the price paid for a night at the pub.”
Launched recently, HairSalon.com.au (part of the Business.com.au network) is an online directory featuring Australian Hair Salons and hairstyle information.
*Survey conducted October/November 2009 by Craig Bradley Market Engineering Pty Ltd, source CompetitionsGuide.com.au. Over 1,000 responses recorded without duplication from respondents with verified details.
