Lol. My dog gets terrified if anyone cries and will try to escape any embrace.

Yes! Works with babies and toddlers too! :)

A hysterectomy is just the worst idea. Tubes tied sure but the other takes years off your life and makes menopause start right away after and you no longer have any natural lubricant because ur parts are gone men its 10 min in and out tiny hole a little cut and 4 total stitches. Thats not nearly as invasive

A hysterectomy is a little radical for birth control isn't it? Tubal ligation maybe, but a hyst should only be performed for life saving/ medical reasons.

Me too - so I grew my hair long and now trim it myself. I also refuse to talk to myself while doing it.

There is a hair stylist in Cardiff, where during booking you can request the quiet chair. It means that they only talk to you if it's absolutely necessary.

I'm 72, wear hearing aids, and hate small talk. I have to remove the hearing aids for the haircutter so, as I'm removing them, I say, "I'll remove these but now I won't be able to hear a thing you say." Buy a cheap pair from eBay and you're set!

I completely agree. Small talk is the worst!

I thought I was the only weirdo who didn’t like that. It seems to me that many people enjoy the talk though. I looked for the longest time to find a hairdresser who could cut my hair in 5 minutes and not say a word.

I know! I get away with it by closing my eyes the minute they touch my hair. I think they think I am really tired and just want to zone out. For some reason it works!

Ballarat, Victoria, Australia - Smooth Cuts run by a Chinese-Australian guy who says 'Hello' when you arrive, asks what you want done, thanks you when you pay & says 'Goodbye' when you leave.

I have recently found the most awesome hairdresser. She does a really fantastic job, and barely speaks beyond the essentials and a friendly greeting at the start. Thank goodness, because I previously hated getting my hair cut for the same reason

Go somewhere where they don’t speak English well!

I hate small talk and also hate that every time they are trying to sell you a special shampoo, a new tretment, a completely revolutionary product that just happens to be the ultimate solution to your dry/damaged/greasy/colored/whatever hair...and of course, you cannot buy it anywhere in the shops!

Bring a book, or magazine or ebook reader. Do the chitchat for a minute and then say something like “I’m in the middle of reading this, so I’m gonna just get to it, if that’s ok.” Or (and this TERRIFIED me the first time I did it!), is to just say “I’m just so exhausted! Don’t mind me if I zone out.” The stylist commiserated a tiny bit, but then they started gossiping with her coworkers. I just half listened, she tapped my shoulder if she needed me and it WAS GLORIOUS!

I hate small talk too. Introverts, unite!

I've gone to the same person for years and we have a lot of common interests like movies and serial killers. Its always a fun event and when I tell her to shave my head she laughs.

A better suggestion is that you find a consistent hairstylist that knows you and your comfort levels. That way you build a relationship that is beneficial to both.

Come see me. I'll leave you the hell alone.

You can ask for the silent treatment here (Netherlands)

Hairdressers who don't ask any questions are like unicorns.. Some people believe they exist, but nobody has seen them.

India!! mumbai. they never ask questions. the only questions someone asked me was "oh you dyed your hair?" and i replied with "yes, a little bit" and that was it throughout the entire hour long appointment (first a oil massage, wash and a trim, and when i say trim i mean tRIM)

you need a Ron Swanson hairdresser lol from Parks n Rec

I always tell them i love to watch them at work. The hairdresser feels respected and i don't have to small talk.

Where in the America’s did you have in mind? Canada? US? Mexico? Etc. If you mention America you have to be more specific.

Thanks Ella, I will try that. You star!

Down under? In Colorado, we're having a mild Fall so far.

Or when you just took a shower

Or your brand new pajamas.
