No, never
In fact I rarely confide in anyone and on the rare occasions I have, I've usually regretted it as it seems that most people can't keep things to themselves.
It's interesting how people will confide in total strangers - my role in customer service often finds me empathising with people who are going through a tough time or sometimes maybe they are just plain lonely.
It seems it's all part of the job and I hope they go away feeling better for having shared those confidences.

INTERESTING THANKSeumundibabe: INTERESTING THANKS
Welcome
My hairdresser and I do chat though, she's a young, alternative kind of girl and I like her a lot.
She's a mad keen traveller like me and has just returned from backpacking around Indonesia on her own, staying away from the tourist traps.
We often talk about travelling and the places we'd like to explore, she also enjoys djembe drumming and takes weekly classes - she thinks I might like it too, lil sweety
Not I dont confide in hairdressers.
If I confide in anyone it is with the knowledge that this a human being and that if I tell them something that might upset them, or interest them in anyway, that they will by nature talk to someone about it.
About the only people I will confide in are good friends that I know well, and know it is not in there nature to talk about other people.
nothing against hairdressers, but I am also one of those people that hates sitting in a chair while someone cuts my hair! I have alsways been the same since a kid!

I know alot of Hairdressers can talk while doing hair thats for sure, but I never let any of my secrets
out to my hairdresser and I have known her for years.No, never, chat about the day, work, family in general but don't feel the need to confide in someone who is probably sick of hearing people's whines and whinges.
I work in aged care though and am always surprised how the oldies confide in you about all kinds of stuff even within half an hour of meeting you.
I take it all with a pinch of salt and keep it confidential - they deserve that at least.

I think people who have need to shout are full of it.Well there was one hairdresser that I confided in, but she has known me since I was born and has been a close friend to the family for close to 40 years. Other than that no I have never confided in anyone other than a close friend or family member. 
No - not me - but have had massage therapists tell me their latest life stories each time I had an appointment - I moved on not long after - blimey - I want to relax and chill out, not have someone talking at me constantly!
You would think that would be part of the training.....tune in to the client!

Agree with that one
Some hairdressers are like that too, they want to chat away and you know they're not concentrating on what they're doing
I tell my Hairdresser nothing...I save all my secrets to blab to you lot !
mums the word
mums the word
I'm a single mum with no time or money for a professional haircut. But on the rare occasions I have been I just want them to shut the hell up and cut my hair. I really don't want to make small talk. I just want to sit there and enjoy the peace and quiet lol.
most hairdressers I go to see dont talk that much thank god !!!.. would rather they just get the job done and I can get out of there.. but if they do get chatty I am happy to chat back about general stuff but I certainly wouldnt tell them anything I wouldnt want others to hear or know

I am a massage therapist and I go with the client.. you can tell if they want to talk all the way through or if they just wanna chill
besides.. I usually ask them what they have come to see me for.. if they say they have aches and pains etc then they not usually there to have a quiet relaxing massage.. its deep tissue work they want... and you need to talk to find out things during the massage .. if they say they want to relax and chill out then its minimal talk with relaxing music
and I dont think you can train people about that stuff.. its more of an intuition thing in my opinion
Interesting comments...
Yes its not something you can train for although if a hairdresser doesn,t have the instincts to tell if a client just wants to chill or be entertained then there is communication training for that...its a fine line..certainly having a personality and having great people skills is paramount to being successful..its a very personal trade..a one on one.. experience..there,s no point being a technical expert if the communication is poor.

tarnsnz: I used to work in a hairdressers when I was young and I hated guys like you with revenge

And he had heaps of hair and wanted it washed and conditioned and I just wanted to get that washer and shove down his top but I would of got in trouble and I needed my job
Bloody Psuedonym and cheap thrills
