Vagaro recently conducted a survey on self-care trends – attitudes toward it and which activities more than 2,000 Americans consider to be self-care.
Interestingly, respondents cited at-home spa rituals (47%), visiting a spa for wellness treatments (41%), getting a manicure/pedicure (36%) and getting a haircut (34%) as the top self-care activities that come to mind. That means for a third of respondents getting a haircut at a salon/barbershop is a key activity on their self-care list.
