Suddenly...
I'm not a good conversationalist in the beauty salon.
I know the hairdressers won't feel good if I tell you this.
（I know it's part of the job. I know it's part of the job description, but...)
And you know why I'm not very good at it in the first place?
A conversation that begins with "What do you do for a living?
I spend a lot of effort to have a conversation with people, and if it's the first time I meet someone, I have to be even more careful.
There were times when we would talk for an entire small hour, even if it was just light chit-chat, and I would be exhausted after leaving the hair salon.
It's not like I'm friends with the hairdresser. If you become a regular, it's a bit of a different story... (I'll tell you later, being a regular liberated me.)
I have nothing against hairdressers.
I wonder what is at the end of a conversation that goes that far....
(I've seen some beauty salons nowadays where you can choose whether you want to have a conversation or not when you make an appointment. (Oh, but there was a pattern of people talking to me even though I had chosen not to have a conversation, probably due to a mistake.)
I was thinking, "I feel like I have to take care of myself every time I get a haircut," when I found a beauty salon. It was a small store run by a private individual.
That's not a restaurant where there was an option I didn't want to have a conversation with, but I'm going to go out on a limb.
May I read the book you brought?" I asked.
Actually, reading in a beauty salon is quite concentrative for me, lol.
That way we don't have to have a conversation.
However, they now seem to respect my style and don't talk to me more than the minimum necessary. Thank goodness.
I think it is totally OK to at least read a book in most beauty salons. (Sometimes people think it's unusual, but I prefer books to magazines.)
I was nervous inside, but as a result, he readily agreed. Yes, I am a bit nervous to ask such a question.
Naturally, no conversation ensues, and I can immerse myself in the world of my favorite book (which I can't read during dryer time, lol).
Oh...I thought this might be a good idea.
I do what is called "pile-reading," or stacking up books that I have bought without reading them, so I am glad that the time I spent at the beauty salon was a good time to read and get rid of my picky-reading. And I don't have to make conversation.
From a beauty parlor perspective, does this make me a bad customer?
And I thought from this experience.
I hate my (sorry) beauty parlor conversations! Based on the feeling that
I've taken action to make it a reading time, and that means it's turned into a pleasant time. I have less patience.
（I've been trying to cut down on my own ties or rules lately. (I've been trying to shave off my own ties or rules recently.Replying to a call, etc.(And so on)
I don't want to view the time spent at the beauty salon as something to be endured. We want to have our hair cleaned.
But at first, I thought, "What if they think I'm a weird customer?", "What if they think I'm a nuisance to the hair salon?", "What if I'm rather a floater reading books?
I was worried about the mystery. Haha lol.
So, one of our daily lives has become a pleasant one~!
That's what I'm talking about! LOL!
Thanks for reading all the way to the end today!
