Time to address the pink elephant in the room. Were you thinking it? Am i paranoid? Maybe your just shy………….
Let’s be honest sometimes i find the constant jabbering of the stylist next to me totally annoying, so you must too right? Time to take a vote, i need to know.
When you get your hair done do you want your hairdresser to talk to you? Yes or no?
Recently a client informed me whilst i was babbling away, ” i don’t want to talk about that anymore & i don’t want to talk about you either.” BRILLIANT! I love this, straight to the point and was i hurt? No, just relieved the awkwardness was over. I no longer had to guess.
As hairdresser’s we’re out to make you our new best friend. Sound creepy? Ill have you know many of my closest friendships were formed by just sitting in my chair so don’t get judgey. But maybe you have enough friends and that’s ok too.
Our other dilemma is we don’t want to appear rude. I mean what if you are a hairdresser & you have resting bitch face? Then of course we need to be bubbly & in your face just to make sure you don’t think we’re an A-HOLE.
So if you do hate your hairdresser talking to you then you might find this useful:
Tips To Getting Your Hair Cut In Silence:
- Read a book/magazine and DO NOT LOOK UP.
- Be honest. Just tell us you need quiet time, trust me we love it.
That’s the only tips i have, feel free to add more and help put an ends to this dance.

I love a chat with my hairdresser… especially when we talk about the boss in a tiny leather skirt – who does she think she is?! A smoking hot boss that’s who (that’s apparently had 3 kids!) On a serious note I love that I can keep up with your kids and life or about A new car purchase. It means I can tell you what I want or what you don’t want from my hair.. What’s a hair colour without trust. Love your work, your articles and you in a mini! xxx
I actually like my stylist to chat as long as she doesn’t expect too much from me in return ha ha! This is a hard question you’ve posed, because sometimes I’m like, ah, 2 hours of downtime, silence, I just want to sit here & be brain dead, on the other hand, I know my stylist from month to month, I’m interested in her life & what she’s been doing, so….. Guess I’m a fence sitter!! xx
I guess it just depends on the day, doesn’t it?
Sometimes it’s nice to ‘bliss out’ knowing you can relax & have your hair done and other times it’s a great opportunity to catch up with Team Spoilt! 😉💖
I’m sure too, that working as hard as you all do, it would be welcome to not have to engage a client in conversation ALL of the time. A very well written and sassy post that shows how much you consider your clients… Thank you!! 😍💕🙌🏽💓😘
