Hairdressing in BristolCategory: Business
Article posted by: Jon Richards
Bristol, without doubt, is a city on the rise, and it has managed to do this without ever starting off from a particularly low ebb. Other cities have found themselves, all of a sudden, careering toward tags such as ‘metropolitan’, and ‘cultural haven’, ‘business capital’ and ‘fashion hotspot’ from previously unimpressive standings.
Cardiff, for example, Bristol’s cousin just over the Severn Bridge, has come from nowhere to be a city that impresses the visitor as much as any other, with the effort put in to making it a rich experience as much as for anything else. Cardiff, not twenty years ago, was an industrial capital that was getting on with it, plodding along, being grey and functional. Now it is a beautiful city, speckled with great modern architecture, art work, history, business, as well as a cultural and social confidence.
Bristol never had to come form such a starting point, but that has not made it rest on its laurels. To walk through the city now is to experience a multinational and all new, European city in every definition of the word.
Men, notably, as in most cities, are taking on the mantle of the ‘metrosexual’ with aplomb, and it has been argued that the modern city cannot be without the male that has the ‘metrosexual’ look. A casual glancing at the advertisements for male hairdressers makes it obvious that as the city evolves into the European model where culture and business are inseparable, the metrosexual male is big business. Many of the hairdressers in Bristol push male highlights and moisturising treatments to the top of their price list, and styling, obviously a much more established practice, is taking on a life of its own.
An interesting element of this is that, as far as prices go, the experience of the male in the hairdressers is becoming close to that of the female, who has, for as long as one can remember, paid an extortionately high price for the same treatment. Hair styling is an evolving business, and as cities evolve, so does the market.
