      I'm so sorry you have been criticized!! Are you a hairdresser? I feel like it's a real talent to be able to tailor your approach to each client. Not everyone wants their service to feel like a social time too. Your clients will find you and be so glad to have found you and return again and again ❤and appreciate your kind quiet approach to personalized service ❤😊

      Amen. My teachers in beauty school told me it would be a weak point, but my clients said just the opposite. They always let me know what a relief it was not to have to talk about the weather or their weekend plans or whatever. Of course I would chat if a client wanted to, but I think for the most part we both preferred to quietly focus on our work.

      Yup, first thing we were taught in massage school(well, one of lol)to let the client lead the conversation. The last massage I had was at a nice spa and the therapist(Bragged?)about herself literally THE ENTIRE TIME. She didn't know I was a therapist, shouldn't matter.. normal client and all she did was blab about"this famous person she massaged" & that. Whooooo effing cares weirdo. Some ppl are so harsh & not observant of other's needs... not a good thing if you are in the care industry.

    I'm in the "quiet" camp, but have found it unnecessary to request it. A good hairdresser/manicurist/masseuse easily understands whether a client wishes to talk, or to remain silent.

      I agree. Most just say hello, maybe ask if you have plans for the day/weekend, and that's about it. I see nothing wrong with a person who's doing an up close and personal thing to you, greeting you like a civilized person.

    • @LoveMarshieCharlie
      @LoveMarshieCharlie Před 19 dny +12

      Yes!!! It is part of the service to read your client and respect their wishes. And tailor their appointment to how they want their service to feel that time. Most times you can read if a client wants to make small talk or not. Be open to converse but if you like to chit-chat you also need to be able to recognize when a client just needs to relax and be quiet. It really shows that you care and want to provide exactly what your client needs that particular day-- some talking or even friendly advice or just relaxing or even dozing off ❤😊

    When the masseuse talks throughout the massage. I almost want to ask for a do over from the spa. It doesn't happen often but it has happened.
    When I go in for a massage, I just want to peace, quiet and to relax. Maybe listen to some spa/meditation music.

    My stylist retired this spring. He and I have been seeing one another monthly for 47 years ! ):.(We are both nearly 80 years.) His younger co-owner has gradually been cutting and coloring my hair for some years. Several other professionals were in the salon for only say, 20 years! In a very small, elite salon, women knew one another as friends and socially for decades. Many very discreet conversations took place; we shared deaths, gossip. traveling experiences, and little gifts for years. Maybe the discreet, "quiet" salons were unknown. We were served tea, coffees, and treats. These stylists flew down to Palm Springs for the "snowbirds". They were guests and "did the hair" for clients. And down through all these years, life was celebrated.

Her full time dog sitter left to care for new grandchild. She was gone for an extended weekend. She didn’t vet the woman & the red flags were there. At one point her husband was going to fly home.🤦‍♀️Honestly didn’t know people hired full time help that comes to their home to watch the pets 8-5.

      If people want to stay social, no one is stopping them unless they want to hop on what they believe is "trendy." And if it is the case, that is a problem within itself, not what already existed until the masses discovered it. I have had social anxiety long before it became very known in the last few years and grew up in a time when it was unheard of.

    I have been going to my stylist for a few years. Love her. She has a private suite and it’s so relaxing. I go to her for that reason. She understands that many women want quiet time and to just relax. She puts on soft music, lights candles, it smells nice. I always look forward to my appointments. I’ve never liked the noise, or gossip in busy salons.

    I don't need to book silent appointments. When I get my hair done, I just don't speak unless spoken to so I can let my hairdresser concentrate on his work to the fullest. I do the same when I get my nails done or go for a massage. They're the artists & the end result is the art. So let them concentrate on making their creation.

They don’t want to listen to that whiny girl crap music any more than their woman wants to tolerate their crap music rappers spinning off about b!tches and h0es, just the same. If she really wanted to, nothing is stopping her from just using headphones which is what she’d have to do in this salon just the same to finally listen to it when she could have also done the same at home!
      But the fact that you’re telling someone to dump their BF based off that one statement that you’re blowing out of context and you know absolutely nothing at all else about their relationship, is just disgusting!

    In general, extroverted service providers need to learn that not everyone wants to talk or listen to them talk. It cracks me up that this made the news but I guess it's progress for those who want some peace and quiet. Another good thing is that the salon in this story is asking clients at the time of booking if they want a quiet appointment... at least that removes the awkwardness for both the stylist and the client.

      Same ! These are folks who don’t have a relationship with their stylist. And that’s ok. I don’t understand why it needed to be a thing. The stylist usually takes the lead of the client. I have been in the chair and behind the chair before. I’ve also worked in restaurants. You can tell which table just wants to order, eat and go. You can also tell when a table wants a lot of attention and to speak to you and dine all evening. It just isn’t this deep.
      Also folks are trying to be kind and do their jobs. I guess life is different now.

    Wow, what a great service. I think people on the spectrum and those with anxiety would really appreciate this. The reason for exchanging service for money isn't friendship, it's for a haircut. Some people do want the friendly chatter too. But some appointments can take 2-3 hours and for many, talking with an acquaintance or a stranger for that period of time is too much. I know for myself, I often have to factor in if I have enough emotional bandwidth before I can schedule an appointment, and often that means not being able to come in when I need it. Thank you! I hope it catches on.
