I received a good haircut. However, the stylist needs some serious coaching about what is socially acceptable and professional conversation. I saw a 30 something woman with red hair. She never told me her name. In the half an hour I was there, I heard about her "douche bag" ex husband, her fiance's "b**** ex wife," the fact that she herself is a "ret**d" for not buying something on sale (I can't believe anyone still uses that word), and the fact that she told her fiance he'd only get no sex and just get to mastur**** on their honeymoon if he smashed cake on her, etc, etc.
I'm not her bestie, I'm not her therapist, I'm her customer. She needs to be coached on the difference. I did not enjoy having all of her drama dumped all over me while I was there trying to relax (which I told her) and just enjoy the precious few minutes I get to myself. Her conversation was vulgar and wildly inappropriate, not to mention one sided. I don't think she even knows my name. I had to interrupt monologue to ask for a wash (it wasn't offered), to ask if she needed to know how I part my hair, etc, etc. I could barely get a word in edgewise because she was just a constant stream of consciousness. I'm also not her "hon." She should be working to build a rapport with her client if she wants to retain business, and a monologue is not the way to do that.
While my haircut was perfectly great and a good value for the price, her total lack of appropriateness and professionalism was a total turnoff.
