To think hairdressers secretly love hearing your business and problems?

It sometimes feels like they’re not just doing your hair, they’re gathering intel. I get that chatting is part of the experience for some but occasionally it feels like they’re enjoying the drama more than they let on. AIBU to find it intrusive?

I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever divulged anything interesting enough be considered “intel”. My holiday plans aren’t exactly nuclear secrets…

Some probably do enjoy hearing about other people’s lives, some probably don’t. I don’t extent any let it linger in their mind beyond the next appointment.

I think you're being ridiculous to lump all hairdressers together. I bet there's a more than a few who are bored stupid by their client's inane shite. I don't chat to mine at all and I get the impression it's a huge relief.
