Do all female hair stylists have complicated social lives?
I use to use one hair stylist to cut my hair. She moved out of state, so I was forced to find another. During my search, for just the right one, I have learned that most female hair stylist are either divorced or have a drug addiction or both. I have learned this by just listening to their conversations, while they were cutting my hair. They all love to talk about their problems. Question: so, am I alone in this conclusion of female hair stylists or is it just me?

You mean, as opposed to all other people, whose lives aren’t at all complicated?
No, i don’t think it is only female hair stylists.
The reason you think it might be, could lay in the fact that with hair dressers you usually have some chat time, while with, for example, the cashier or the stewardess or the police officer or the garbage collector, you don’t.
So, no live stories there (or no extended ones anyway).
@john65pennington Yes. I find hairstylists to be extremely similar to female bartenders. They all have stories galore. Many of them also have excess baggage.
this is one of the reasons we screen our bartenders well
I don’t know that their lives are any more complicated than yours or mine, or whoever… they just talk about it all while they’re cutting your hair! A few ladies who are “checkers” at our local grocery store are the same way. They chat me up the whole time and talk about things I really don’t need to know, LOL.
Hmm… well, out of the menagerie of women who cut my hair (which includes my cousin, several dozen Ross the Boss employees, and my ex girlfriend’s mom), I don’t think I’ve ever run into any weird stories of drug addiction or divorce or anything like that. Discussing The Puppy Bowl is as exciting as a lot of their conversations get.
No way of knowing if it’s more or less complicated compared with those of pretty haircutters in Shenzen, China but their professional lives definitely are. They would offer you “special services” upstairs after they do your hair.
My daughter is a hairdresser. Her life is boring by my standards! And I don’t expect much.
My hair colorist, who also cuts but is not my stylist, is a woman in her late 30’s who is married with two kids. She is from Poland. She does not seem to have a complicated social life. It may be because it’s an expensive salon where the stylists are more settled socially and financially (in other words, he would not hire someone who is mixed up, addicted, out all night, etc.). Just a guess.

I have been to numerous salons, some more than once, and ranging from $15 to $150 a visit. They are all the same when it comes to shop-talk: it’s personal, and it often deals with vivid details. If it bothers you, go to a barber shop. The men there ask what you want and get the job done.
I’m not sure what a complications social life is, but I subscribe to not all anything is the same in people. It’s not like they all share a common brain.
