Was I being prude about boob job chat infront of my son?

[Farkirkmash]

So I took my DS for a hair cut today to a barbers.
Usually a family friend does it but he’s 4 and his friends go the barbers and he wanted to experience and I thought it would be a nice morning out for us whilst looking for his new school uniform ( eeek)
I booked somewhere on Booksy that had nice reviews, got there and the staff were lovely.
Talking to DS about school etc. The haircut itself took 30 minutes about 5 minutes in we were now the only people there. 3 staff members two male one female then started talking about another girls boob job. Comparing Katie price discussing the kind of attention she’s after from a certain type of men, the girl even offered the input of what size she presumed they were and what they are now etc. A very long conversation in which to me they were making it very clear they didn’t like this girl.
I felt so uncomfortable and isnt something id discuss cutting a 4 year olds hair ?!

Am I just being prude ?
They’ve emailed me asking for a review and they were nice but this made me feel abit weird and also the fact after the initial hello etc how’s your day etc to DS they just chatted amongst themselves !

You are being a prude. A 4 yo wouldn’t even give a shiny fuck about what they were saying and would probably be more fascinated by the hair on the floor.

It’s not a conversation I’d want a four yr old to overhear personally and I’d not go back to the salon based on that. Also yes chatting among themselves to that extent is just plain rude.

Why didnt you distract or talk to your ds. I dont think its appropriate talk but then I would have just spoke to my ds and not listened to their conversation.

A 4 yo wouldn’t even give a shiny fuck about what they were saying

I think that depends on the 4yr old. Mine would have had a zillion questions to ask me afterwards!

The talking over his head amongst themselves is very rude. My hairdresser would never do this. She knows I don’t like a chat but she also doesn’t talk over my head to other unless necessary.

So yes, leave that in your review. But boob job chat...meh. He’s 4, probably went over his head?

I am always surprised at parents who say this kind of chat goes over their kids head. My experience would mean I would be bombarded by a million questions as soon as we leave the salon.

My kids would have had questions like what's a boob job, who's Katie Price, why are big boobs bad etc

I wouldn't expect the hairdressers to limit themselves to 4 year old friendly topics but there's a massive amount of topics that are more neutral.

YANBU it's unprofessional and inappropriate. Leave a review that explains this.

agree the talk would NOT go over his head. This is why some children say worrying and inappropriate things at school.

YANBU. This is really crass talk. I would leave a review mentioning that they behaved unprofessionally

Its unprofessional in my view. Maybe you could put a review that there wasn't much customer service as they were too busy chatting among themselves about Katie Price.

Mines only 2.5 and I'd definitely be hearing about boob jobs all day. YANBU

Yabu.

If he asks questions either answer them age appropriately or tell him you have no clue.

YABU and a prude!

I think @Hungrytiredandcold might be Katie Price. Lol.

More seriously, I am shocked that anyone would think this sort of talk is appropriate in front of a 4 year old?

Children repeat what they hear. Do you want your kid talking about boob jobs at school.

Never mind a four year old, I don't want to hear them bitch about someone else anyway or hear about someone's fake boobs described in detail, and they should be talking to the customers, not among themselves. It's unprofessional. And you never know whether when yo have gone they will bitch and moan about you.

I wouldn't have liked the discussion not because it was discussing boobs but because it seems clear to me they were ascribing moral values dependent on whether a woman has large or small boobs or has surgery on them!

That's sexist, inappropriate and unprofessional in my opinion.

Even as an adult customer I wouldn't have been happy hearing that conversation especially as a woman with a significant bust of my own! (Natural though)

Some of you either don't have or have never had your typical 4 year old. They are unbelievably curious at that age. Everything is "why?"

I remember that stage very well.

Sexist and inappropriate is about right. I would have said something at the time of the conversation

My 4 year old would have been fascinated.
