    Do you talk to the Barber?

    I always thought I was a horrible customer when it came to getting a haircut, I tip well and all that, but I'm really not super into talking to the person. I usually go to pretty decent places to get my haircut ($30-35) and I've had a couple of stylists that I kept long enough that I actually enjoyed talking to them but for the most part I like to sit and be quiet.

    I used to think that stylists must hate me, but the more people I talk to the more I find I'm not the only one like this.

    Depends on the stylist, if they appear to be the chatty type and in a good mood, and actually initiate the convo, I'll go along with it, otherwise, I want my damn haircut so I can get back to life.

    they usually initiate but I'll talk if they talk. I usually have women cut my hair because I like to have a woman do it idk why.

    I've been going to this place called Valentine's since I was 15 or so, basically if you've seen Barbershop, it's like that. Except a white dude owns it. So.. everyone in there talks to one another since if you aren't there to get a haircut, you're just there to hang out, listen to music, play pool, w/e w/e. If you're talking about like.. a Supercuts or some shit, I wouldn't really talk to the barber unless they tried to start up a conversation. If you go to the same place everytime you get a haircut, I'd probably try to chat it up just to be friendly. Get a free haircut on your birthday or some shit, I dunno.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    I used to have a hard time finding barbers I liked since I moved a lot. Since college I've found a barber I like a lot and I go back to him every time and I carry conversation with him. Honestly I think it'd be weird not to talk at all, I mean I did that when I was like 12 but an adult sitting in a chair getting their hair cut, not making conversation? That's just weird to me.

    I will talk if they talk to me. But honestly I hate making small talk with random people.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    Voted no cause my Korean is horrible and the people that cut my hair can't speak English.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    Ive been going to the same place for quite a few years, and I talk a little bit with the people who own it. Mostly hows business, family and the like. Mostly just small talk.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    Going to same place since i had hair, Manny rocks, we know everyone who works there too, so yeah, i do, i put only if it's my regular though, cause if i HAD to go to somewhere else for w/e reason, i'd likely not talk at all

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    No.

    I also do not tip if they take too much off, which they have never failed to do.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    I'll respond if they inquire shit, but beyond that, I generally don't go out of my way to prolong uninteresting conversations with random middle-aged women working a low paying job who are bitter at the world.

    If the person is mildly interesting, however, I'll talk a bit.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    They usually ask me if I'm in school and the usual and I answer nicely but that's about it. Like other people said, I don't care for small talk. I actually like sitting there and watching them cut my hair anyway, they make it look all fun.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    I've been going to the same lady for about 10 years now since she's one of the only people who I trust to cut my hair, and I see her every 2 weeks so yes I talk to her all the time

    But I've always been a talkative person, so if I'm getting something done to my hair besides cutting it then I'll almost always talk to the stylist, so I'm not sure what to vote

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    Been going to the same girl now for close to 6 years almost every two weeks. Yep, we talk about everything and anything. It'd be weird if I went in there and didn't say a word to Heather.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    No unless they are talkative. It's the standard questions. Do you work? You going to school? What you going to do today? Small talk bleh..

    I talked to this one barber who had huge cleavage for some reason and she was talkative/excessively smiling. I was hoping for a happy ending.

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    Last time I got a haircut was almost 2 years ago, before that was 4.5 years ago

    Never understood the $20+ haircut, $10 + a $2-3 tip is usually fine for me

    Some of you are on the metrosexual level

    I like my hair long, + I dye it many colors from blonde, strawberry blonde, dark red auburn, now to intense red copper
    (Weird thing is my original baby hair color has respawned, somehow, used to be a bright red brown)

    I do maintain my hair, conditioners are a plenty due to the Coscto buy 2 Shampoo get 2 free conditioners deals that often happen

    Re: Do you talk to the Barber?

    I was in the Marines, I can't seem to let go of the fact that my hair needs to be short on the sides and not touching the collar. It's not super super short but I can't stand that "mullet" of neck hair that grows.
