The chat-free salon session is now a thing, but is it really that hard to feign a bit of interest in your stylist’s love life and holiday plans?
How important are you? So important that only other important people are permitted to speak to you? So eminent your hair must be snipped in monastic silence?
I ask because hair stylist Kati Hakomeri has introduced a “silent service” at her salon, Parturi Kati, in Helsinki. Clients can book the online option: “A haircut without talking. After the consultation you can be on your own, recharge your batteries and relax”. Hakomeri says she’s an introvert herself, and her clients could be busy professionals or exhausted mothers.
