Is it weird to add her on Facebook?

So I'm in my early thirties and don't really have many friends I actually see anymore. I'm trying to get a bit more outgoing and joined an app where you meet friends and went to a fitness class week for the first time in hope to make some new friends. Unfortunately nothing has worked so far. I went to a new hair dresser for the first time last week and she's so lovely. She's mid twenties and we had so much in common and she is someone I can see myself becoming friends with. Is it weird if I add her on Facebook (herself and not the hair dressing page)?

Yes of course that's fine, networking is what social media is all about. Once you're facebook friends, you can get to know her better online and this will give you more to chat a bit when you see her next. I've developed friendships with quite a few people from exercise groups and yoga like this. And I'm friends with my hairdresser 😀

I disagree - you’ve met her once, she’s a hairdresser (sorry. But being chatty and friendly is all part of their job). It’s weird to add her until you’ve at least become a regular customer.

I’d say no. Being friendly is her job and you’ve only met her once

Send her a request!

But if she doesnt accept DONT overthink it.

I’d say keep going back to her for regular appointments and after a while, ask her. I’ve got my hairdresser on Facebook. We get on really well and I definitely think we could be friends but we keep the relationship professional. It was about 18 months before I added him because I was wary of that boundary.

Some people are different though, as this thread shows. You can’t really tell how somebody will react until you know them a little bit better.
