Welcome to the Barber’s Poll!

You’re losing your hair. Your individual experiences are unique, but you’re not alone. Hundreds of thousands of men and women each year deal with thinning hair and baldness. We’ve compiled a list of hair loss-related questions, ranging from your personal history and habits to coping mechanisms and treatments to societal perceptions and pressures. We invite you to take our survey and share your thoughts about hair loss and restoration.

We’ll be conducting 4 surveys throughout 2012. The full results will be shared in a comprehensive report in early 2013, so you can see for yourself how your opinions stack up against others who are fighting the battle against bald.
