As a hair dresser/stylist, what the heck would i talk about with my clients?

not the weather either! lol





im a quiet person who doesnt really care to conversate about anything outside of what i do. but i know when u go to a salon people like to talk to you while they are cutting hair, i admit it makes it less awkward and stuff, so when i become one what can i say to people i have nothing in common with? im no good at starting conversations!As a hair dresser/stylist, what the heck would i talk about with my clients?
People like to talk about their kids.... so you can say do you have kids? and they will state, yes, I have a 2 year old and a 6 year old. Are they boys or girls? I have a girl and a boy. Jimmy is the oldest and Sarah is my sweetie pumpkin..... etc.





As soon as you come up with one topic, it usually gets the ball rolling. You show an interest in them, will also reward in a better tip too.. lol


others you can mention:





Did you see on the news the other day about the.....?


I hear they are having a big sale at.....?


I am so glad the gas is finally going down to .... a gallon.


You have very fine hair. We have this ..... shampoo that would be good for it.


Have you ever considered coloring your hair? I think ...... would be a great one for you to bring out the glow.


I really like your glasses, where did you get them?


What color nail polish is that?


I love that shirt you are wearing, it's such a great color for you!


Are you doing anything special today?


What are your plans for Christmas?


Have you gotten your Thanksgiving Turkey?


Are you going anywhere for the holidays?


What do you think of this cold snap?


We sure had a hard frost last night.


There's always something you can pick up by just finding a key word.As a hair dresser/stylist, what the heck would i talk about with my clients?
i dont know im like you and i want to be a hairdresser but my mom was one and she used to ask the people if they were in school what school they went to, sometimes about music, if a song she liked came on. all i can say is just think of stuff to talk about like hair, school, the weather, the day lol





Edit: you dont have to talk to them the whole time just so its not boring for them just sittin there if your doing there hair for 2 hours lol


and also you could ask them if they want to read a magazine so there busy reading a magazine and your doing there hair so you dont really have to talk
I do not think it as important to fin things to talk about as it is to read the person that will be in your chair.


Some people don't like chatty hairdressers ~ some people are having a bad day %26amp; just want to sit ~ others like to talk %26amp; they can continue the conversation if you just ask how are you today ~ they will take it from there %26amp; you can follow ~


Personally I am usually quiet in the chair %26amp; just want to relax.





Owe ~ the day~ sports ~ your kids ~ others kids ~ fav time where you just went or a cool spot you just visited....... Whats on tv where you work...


Just relax %26amp; go with the flow


good luck:~)
But the weather is a great conversation starter!


Wait for them to talk to you :)
honey you dont have to say a word just smile and shake your head every now and then.
