Can a great haircut or hairstyle make a difference in how people treat you?

Answer 1

Yes most definately. I have noticed that myself when I had a shaved head I got pulled overmore then I ever have in my entire life. So will wearing glasses, people will definately treat you different I often experiment with stuff like that lol. Change your style for a day and you'll really notice.

Answer 2

Yes, if there was a big change in your appearance.
Such as, your present haircut is something weird and strange, with an odd color like green or pink or purple, or long, messy and you are not a rock star, it would be difficult to get a good job.
If you have a bad or nerd type of haircut now and you change and get a great haircut or style, I don't
think there would be much of a change in the way people treat you. Probably just compliment you on your new style, unless your personality also changes, then you might be treated different.
I don't think most people judge you on your hair, it is usually by your personality and what's inside.

Answer 3

You would be surprised. We have such stigma when it comes to looks. Everything is skewed, I mean how often did you look at the average girl in High School, if ever; you probably spent your days dreaming of what it would be like with the goddess of the campus...When in all reality her life is not that much different from yours. When things are done to accent your looks, it says a lot more than "Hey I got a great hair cut" it makes a statement about how much your care about yourself and your image, and people tend to respond well to it. The sad thing is that when a highly respectable person falls on hard times and decides to have an unflattering hair cut, they are regarded as washed up bumbs, instead of hidden potential.

Get your hair cut and make it happen, but do your best to see that the hair cut is not what people are responding to it is you.

Answer 4

It might make a difference in how some of the shallower people treat you. But I believe that a great haircut or style makes YOU feel better. When you feel better, you act differently, so then people treat you differently.

Answer 5

Of course. Unfortunately still today a book is often judged by its cover and the tailor still makes the man.

Try to wear a punk style hair cut and apply for a job at a bank, then try a crew cut.

I bet you easily will find out that people treat you very differently. Same and even more that goes for your outfit.

Answer 6

Well, honestly, it depends on the people around you...
Those who treat you badly, may like you if u had a great hairstyle, because those people are all about apperance so if you look like a dork they'll treat you nasty...

Those who are your friends have to class too:
First, those who like you just the way you are, in short they don't care about you're appearance, they're your true friends because they love you with or without great hair...

Second, those friends who like you better now with great hair, well they are your friends too but not true enough because if before, you're like just a side-kick on their group, now you're a star, well that's just because of your hair.

But all I want you to know is to be yourself! So what if you don't have a great hair?!! That's you and they can't change you!...Trust me...LOL

Answer 7

Yes, speaking as a guy who had a decent length of hair and who now shaves his head daily, i can say yes, it makes a huge difference. when i had hair, i was treated like any other man out there, but with no hair, i get treated with more...not respect...but people are more unsure of my motives. even though I'm the same guy inside. hope it helps!

Answer 8

yes of course it can. People see physicalness first. People will treat you differently than they normally would (mostly people who barely know you or don't know you) based on how you look. This goes for haircuts, contacts, clearing of skin, makeup, weight loss, etc.

Answer 9

Yes, but not the haircut itself....but the image you have of yourself with the cut gives you more confidence and you ooze charisma....so people see that and treat you accordingly

Answer 10

Totally. Make sure you get a good one, otherwise people will throw things at you.

And if it is bad, do not pay the stylist. There is no rule that you HAVE to pay them if you're unhappy with your cut. Simply scream "I wanted bologna with my buzz" and run out of the salon? Good Luck with your hack job.
