Bald. Out. Confident.
Why More Men Are Turning Hair Loss Into a Social Advantage
If you’re a guy who likes to go out — bars, events, fashion weekends, rooftop parties — you already understand one thing:
Presence matters.
And for years, baldness was framed as something to “fix,” “hide,” or joke about. But that narrative is shifting. Fast.
An estimated 50 million men in the U.S. experience some degree of hair loss. Yet until recently, there were almost no mainstream spaces that celebrated the look openly.
Now? That’s changing.

Bald Fest: From Insecurity to Identity
On September 13th, New York hosts its first-ever Bald Fest, organized by Rami Even-Esh.
Timed immediately after New York Fashion Week, the event playfully contrasts the hyper-polished fashion world with something more relaxed, self-aware, and confident.
It also coincides with National Bald Is Beautiful Day and takes place at Rubulad — a venue known for its offbeat, high-energy events.
Tickets run $18.
Or you get in free if you shave your head on-site.
That’s not just marketing. That’s symbolism.
It turns a private insecurity into a public power move.
According to the United States National Library of Medicine, an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States suffer some degree of hair loss.
Skalp is the leading provider of scalp micropigmentation treatment, with 6 clinics available around the world. It’s a non-surgical treatment that is safe and more affordable and longer-lasting than hair transplants.
