Sorry y’all, I just need to vent a little. I was unhappy with my previous barber and was trying out a new one. It was close by, had good reviews, and the same prices for men and women. Great. But man, my previous barber might not be the most skilled but at least she was quick and knew how to shut the fuck up. This guy took an hour(!) to do my really simple super short cut and talked the entire time. He fixed what I wanted to have fixed fine, but he doesn’t believe in clippers(?) so it’s way longer than I wanted, and I’m just exhausted. Honestly, my entire day has been ruined by the sheer amount of energy that has been sucked out of my soul from having a stranger talk to me for an hour straight for something that could’ve been done in silence in 20 minutes.

    Yeah, I totally get that it meets a certain need for a lot of neurotypicals, that’s why so many barbers are like that. I’m happy for them it exists but damn it can be rough to find one who is more introvert/autistic friendly
