Assume that the labor market for barbers is competitive and that it is differentiated into two groups:
barbers who are bald (or going bald) and those who have a full head of hair.

1. if some consumers in the market for haircuts have a strong preference for having their hair cut by a barber who is not going bald, then:
a. the difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good.
b. barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair.
c. barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable.
d. barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable.
