Small Talk during Haircut No More?

Nope, first time hearing this! Sometimes I can make small talk but most of the time I struggle to hold a conversation. I prefer silence too.

I feel like hairdressers may concentrate more with less small talk - not that I am going to go to the hairdressers any time soon!

Reminds me of the old joke -

the barber asks "how would sir like his haircut", the customer replies "in silence"

I dislike small talk at the hairdresser so it wouldn't bother me. Not sure when I'll be going though, not for a while

I don't think that I'll be going back to my hairdresser when she reopens tbh.

The wife has been doing a good job with the clippers, so I don't really see the point.

That’s good news, you never know who’s listening. I know it’s part of the service but I won’t miss it.

I love chatting to my hair dresser, he has been doing my hair for about 25 years, boy to man. We have a good old catch up and I registered his kids when I worked in registration and one of my boys did a stint there when he was 16 so we catch up on family too. He owns the salon so don't think any one will stop us chatting, he always books me in for 90 minutes instead of an hour anyway as I have such thick hair it takes him longer to cut!

No chance my wife and her friends in the hairdressers dont stop to breath when they are all chatting in there

Tbh i talk alot with my barber

Agree, I rather the barber concentrate on my haircut than mess it up

I'm so pleased! I'm partly deaf and I hate it when hairdressers talk because I can't hear them properly and have to take my hearing aids out and then it's just conversation I struggle with. I find the whole hairdressing experience makes me very anxious.

All i get from the hairdresser i visit is constantly talking about their pu**y

I hate small talk, I always feel awkward when people ask what your plans are for the rest of the day and you have none but the last time I had my hair cut, the hairdresser started talking about dogs and we didn’t stop talking about dogs for the entire appointment and that is fine by me

I struggle to stay awake let alone make small talk. I have friends who can't stand having their hair/scalp touched and the whole process is a punishment. I think I must've been a cat in the distant past because I virtually purr and fall asleep. I will embrace the new rule happily.....
