Nothing Like Hair Salon Stories


By Tamika Powell


People visit a beauty shop or place that cuts hair for reasons other than basic grooming. Many patrons make their visits part of their routine because they may want to have great conversation with others in an intimate setting. Inside many of these places are some of the best hair salon stories that they will hear in their lifetime.

Some people choose a salon based on its brand, cost, or the reputation of a particular hairstylist. This is especially true in the case of those who may have problem hair or know that a particular operator specializes in a particular style. In some cases, price is not a concern as long as people know they are going to leave the place looking better than when they first arrived.

However, some salons are like a home away from home. This could be due to a bond with the owner or a particular operator. Some people may feel loyalty to their operator even when they are not up on the current hairstyles and do not really care to learn. This is a minor sacrifice as good conversation may be better than having a current hairstyle. .

Normal topics discussed inside a salon setting can be anything from new items on the market to clothing to juicy celebrity gossip. Most beauty shops have a TV that waiting patrons can see. There are times when the program that is on will stimulate an enticing conversation where anyone can join in to give his or her feedback. Conversing with others can make time fly while receiving services that may require a lot of sitting.

Though discussions tend to be light in nature, a patron may choose to voice a personal concern with hopes of receiving feedback. Family matters, job, or other relationship may be a topic where they may receive a number of answers. While the person may not take feedback from patrons and others seriously, sometimes they may find the right advice that will help them to resolve what it is that is bothering them.

Having dialogue is not just restricted to women either. Inside many barbershops, men from all backgrounds have their own interesting conversations about life, work, and sports. Some may even speak about their current relationships and ask other patrons for feedback. The difference is that the language may be coarse or the subject matter may not be appropriate for those who are underage.

Some see visiting a barbershop or beauty salon as a place to network. There are times when people do not care to discuss lighthearted issues but seek answers to other matters that may involve how to save money or ways to improve their family life. This sometimes breaks the stereotype of how salons and barbershops are just a place to gossip.

Whatever the reason for visiting the salon, it is a big relief from a person doing their hair at home. While the cost may be substantially less, this can be troublesome unless they just happen to have styling and cutting skills. One thing is certain for those who do their hair at home, they are missing some great hair salon stories.
