A SILENT HAIRCUT

Do you like talking to your stylist while getting your hair done? Some people don’t, but are reticent to say anything. The “Not Another Salon” in London is offering a new service to its customers – tell them you want the “Silent Haircut” when booking an appointment, and they’ll shut up while cutting your hair. Salon owner Sophie Hilton wrote on the salon’s Instagram page that “with mental health showing up more than ever now, feeling comfortable to say when you need time out couldn’t be more important.”
* Hard to believe anybody doesn’t want to be asked “So how’s your day going?” by their cutter for the thousandth time.
* I thought that’s what earbuds were for? To send a message to the rest of the world: “Leave me the hell alone.”
* Not only will they not talk to you, but if they say “Do you need any product?” when you’re checking out, you can punch them in the nose.
* This is great, but you still have to listen to Chatty Cathy in the chair next to you.
* “Mental health is showing up more than ever now”? Oh, there’s something showing up in people more than ever now, but I wouldn’t call it mental health.
