And finally… Beauty habits of the construction site revealed
Reading time: 2 minutes
While construction might not always be considered the most glamorous of professions, a new survey has uncovered that more than a third (35%) of those working in the sector get waxed, while 27% of are hiding a fake tan.
In fact, compared to the averages for the UK population, it seems that when individuals in the construction field get glam, they go all out.
More than a quarter (26%) of respondents to an industry poll conducted by Hiscox who worked in the construction sector have had fillers, compared to just 11% of the total population. Around 42% regularly get facials after a tough week of work, while 80% consider themselves loyal, or very loyal, to their hairdresser or barber.
The distance construction workers are willing to travel is also relatively high, with 57% of those polled happy to travel over 10 miles to their beauty professional of choice – over twice the national average (26%).
And despite fairly moderate spending (54% in the sector pay £25 or less per visit to the hair salon, compared to 64% of the overall population) people in construction rank amongst the top tippers, with 14% of the respondents tipping over the expected 10%.
On the other hand, construction workers also polled as nearly three times as likely to let their mum or dad cut their hair as the rest of the UK.
