The Unspoken Loyalty: Why Men Stick With Their Barbers

Nairobi, Kenya – May 23, 2025 – A recent NTV Kenya video explores the often-overlooked loyalty men have for their barbers. The short documentary features interviews with several men, revealing a common thread: years of patronage and a sense of comfort in their established barber-client relationships. One interviewee stated, "Nimetulia na barber wangu for 15 years." (I've been with my barber for 15 years.) This highlights the time investment and trust involved. Another interviewee explained the convenience, saying, "I don't need to explain much on how my hair needs to be cut." The video suggests that the familiarity and consistent service offered by a trusted barber outweigh the potential benefits of trying a new one. The video concludes by prompting viewers to consider their own relationships with their barbers and what makes them return.
