If I'm not in the mood to chat, I just tell them; they're often quite relieved to have a break themselves.

Hairdressers hold the record for the smallest small talk

I only go for a cut twice a year. I have a lovely coffee and a head massage each time, and the six month interlude means we have enough to catch up on without resorting to small talk. I recommend it.

Just think how they feel though… Marketing concept: the silent barber/hairdresser.

Been cutting my own hair since lockdown, saved a small fortune and don’t have to deal with “small talk”.

I’ve cut my own hair for 25 years. It’s great for avoiding that kind of situation. I’m single and have modular hair

A reflection on you more than them.

They're giving you an opening gambit on the topic. So get a little meta and say how you like to chat about ABC - Anything But Christmas - every now and then, steer it somewhere interesting. "Greg Lake" is a fine place to take it.
