    I don't like fake small talk 👍
  • @beautyinj6426
    Honestly, a quiet service is not a trend. It's called professionalism.
  • @user-cc5od3zk4p
    I have always been criticized for being silent. It’s mentally exhausting having to make small talk.
  • @srezzy1326
    Because the whole world is mentally overloaded. We need peace and quiet. Same getting a massage, I don’t want any noise, a chance to decompress and unplug.
  • 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.
  • @chazb3224
    YESSSS!!! I like this!! I don't want to talk during a service. Just want my service and leave.
  • @annmarie_
    As an introvert, this is a dream come true.... 😊
  • @dianacarter3212
    I NEVER TALK! I DONT WANT A FRIEND! I WANT TO RELAX! CLOSE MY EYES AND JUST BREATHE! NO KIDS! NO DOG! NO DISHES! NO LAUNDRY! JUST SOMEONE WASHING AND PLAYING WITH MY HAIR! ITS A POOR PERSONS SPA!
  • @brendamoon2660
    Stylists ask way too many personal questions. I'm not applying for a security clearance, just cut my hair.
  • I think this is a good idea. Not everyone likes talking while having a hair appointment.
  • @ST-rj8iu
    I thought I was weird for not wanting to talk, but glad to know I am not the only one.
  • @notmebutyou8350
    As an introvert, I only have one thing to say!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • I'm a stylist, and I'm all for this. The ppl just want to enjoy the experience and RELAX.
  • @dawnuncles8563
    Not in a black hair salon!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • @Sam-mk9ke
    The irony of the news interviewing and forcing conversation with the people who requested silent visits is great
  • @jujubees711
    I don't mind if my hairstylist talks to me. But I wish they had silent massage appointments. 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.

    Don't mind the talking, it's the blaring pop music that I find stressful
