Philly Tops Most Facial Hair Friendly Cities


Philadelphia has always been a city that embraces individuality, and that extends to its residents' facial hair choices. Recently, the City of Brotherly Love earned the top spot in a study by the grooming company, The Beard Struggle, ranking the most facial hair-friendly cities in America.

The study analyzed several factors, including:

Number of barbershops per capita: Philly boasts a high concentration of barbershops, ensuring residents have ample access to expert grooming.


Cost of a professional shave and beard trim: Compared to other major cities, Philadelphia offers reasonable prices for keeping that mane tamed.




Facial hair acceptance in the workplace: The city's diverse industries and relaxed attitudes contribute to a culture where beards and mustaches are welcome in most professional settings.


Social attitudes towards facial hair: Philly's streets are filled with a diverse array of beards, from meticulously sculpted goatees to full-on lumberjack beards, demonstrating widespread acceptance.




This recognition comes as no surprise to many Philly residents. "There's always been a strong sense of self-expression here," says local barber, Joe McScissors. "People feel comfortable rocking whatever style they want, and facial hair is a big part of that."

The city's historic association with iconic beards, like Benjamin Franklin's, may also play a role. "Maybe it's something in the water," McScissors jokes, "but Philly has always appreciated a good beard."

The ranking highlights Philadelphia's unique character and commitment to individual expression. So, whether you're sporting a neatly trimmed mustache or a wild, flowing beard, know that in Philly, you're in good company.
