Guys are very silly about these things, especially many young guys. Maybe it is generalizing as there seems to be many open minded guys on this forum, but many young men are concerned with promoting a masculine self-image and prefer to reflect this with very gender specific fashions and styles. If this hairstyle becomes more popular with women than men, eventually a lot of men (I would wager most), will probably stop wanting it.
It probably is a poor business model to begin with, but I can see how gender preference affects it.

Can you elaborate on this a bit more? Am I misunderstanding your point, or are you saying that barbershops should refuse to give traditionally men's cuts to women because those styles will then fall out of favour with young men who are insecure about their masculinity?
