When I was young, my mother used to bring me to the barber When it was crowded waiting down the line, my mother would bring me back home and come back another day: Psychological Research Assignment, JCU, Singapore

When I was young, my mother used to bring me to the barber. When it was crowded waiting down the line, my mother would bring me back home and come back another day. She believed that when the business is good, the barber will spend less time cutting and the resulting haircut will also be not nice.

I believe many people also hold this belief. Is this a myth or really unfounded?

So in this study, I want to find out

• Do barbers spend less time cutting patron’s hair during peak or busy hours as compared to off-peak hours?
• Are haircuts during non-busy hours better in quality than haircuts made during busy hours?
