The appearance of people especially the facial expressions are also important in working area. For instance, such smile intensity in photos or a simple facial gesture can help individual to be employed and earn more than average. In the sectors such as tourism and banking where people communicate face to face, macho or not macho faces employees may have an influence on the customers. In this context, we have aimed to analyze the effects of macho or not macho faces on costumers in both tourism and banking sectors
