To chat or not to chat – do you like talking to your hairdresser?
A Finnish hairdresser is offering the perfect solution to her customers who would rather not make small talk during their appointment: a chat-free ‘silent service’.
Kati Hakomeri has introduced the special booking for clients who would prefer not to make polite chit-chat about their future holidays, weekend plans or the weather.
She appears to be on to something, too, telling a local newspaper that there appears to be a gap in the market for the special booking option which has proved popular in her salon in her hometown of Helsinki.
The hairdresser says many people see getting a trim as a situation that requires social interaction, something that can be intimidating for introverts.
