SHI: I think most male hairdressers are gay or at least bi-. Except the traditional barbers who are as manly as they come.
Perhaps you still have a strict gender separation in hair-cutting as we have here in our less assimilated Hispanic cultures.
But no, most male hair stylists in the US are not gay. But quite a few of them are. I think my hair stylist friends estimated that gays were 1/3 of all US hair stylists.
Because in the US anymore, most all men, or at least White men, get their hair cut by hair stylists. I have no idea what Black culture is like. I have heard that Black men still go to traditional male hangout barber shops while the women tend to go to stylists.
There are not many barbers around in US culture except in this Hispanic community (and maybe the Black community) here where there is strict gender segregation about hair-cutting. Men absolutely must get their hair cut at a traditional barber shop that is exactly like the glorious male-only spaces I frequented as a boy to get my hair cut.
The hair stylists are strictly for women. I get my hair cut by a stylist because like Hell I am getting my hair cut in a traditional barber shop. I guess that’s faggy in this town, but who cares! Like I am here to kiss up to silly Hispanic values imported straight from damned Mexico!
But with White men, absolutely we are getting our hair cut by stylists now. Almost all of us. This started in the 1970’s when most White men started growing their hair long as part of the hippie, surfer, skier, skater, rocker, and drug subcultures. With long hair, it’s best to go to a stylist. And many White male stylists are quite masculine.
I had some friends who got into the hair stylist thing. These guys were both not the most macho guys around (more like pure androgynes), but they got more pussy than you could even dream of. One guy routinely picked up his female clients, made dates with them that night, and took him over to his place and fucked them. The other guy, one of my best friends, was simply a stud. All there is to it.
I believe he told me that 1/3 of hair stylists were gay, and 2/3 were some variety of straight. Of course they were around gay hair stylists all the time.
I remember the time my best friend above and I were in West Hollywood hanging out with some of his gay hair stylist friends. We used to torment these poor guys by talking about sex with women right in front of them. We would say things like:
“Oh man, that juicy red pussy – it was right in front of my face!”
Then we would make a V with our two fingers and put our tongue between it like we were eating pussy. The gays would flip! They would literally start screaming:
“Get out of here!”
“Oh, how gross!”
“Disgusting!”
“Stop! Stop! Quit talking about that!”
“I’m going to get sick!”
It was a blast, man. We loved tormenting those poor men.
Yep, a lot of gay men are actually as revolted by heterosexual sex as we straights are by gay sex. I have heard that gay men particularly don’t like to eat pussy. When they are fucking a woman (closet cases), a lot of them pretend it’s a guy, and can get by that way. Also gay men who fuck women (closet cases) usually prefer doggy style for obvious reasons.

Yes, we have traditional barbershops and I go to one. I used to go the stylists before but I have stopped now because:
a) they’re mostly fags who hit on you except this one tattooed man I talked about who was really, really cool.
b) Traditional barbershops are cheaper than one of the fancy stylists. The former can give me a cheap haircut for less than Rs.70 (US$1); the fag hairstylists in their fancy salons cost at least Rs,1400-1500 (US$20-22). When money’s tight, you need to adjust.
Besides I recently developed a non-prominent male pattern balding problem which I have to disguise with fake hair. So, I keep my hair a bit cropped around the balding middle. I still have bangs.
I used to have a long-flowing rocker hairstyle in my 20’s which is sadly history now. I can go for it all over again with a wig but what’s the point as my secret would be exposed during sex.
