I'm 18 and I've only gotten my hair cut at one place my entire life. It's run by two old guys. It's not awkward, they have to talk about something. They're barbers man. The conversation is what saves them from going insane. Just generic small talk. It's not hard cause it's not like you're making eye contact or something.

I have this fat short arab guy.

Me and him talk about weed.

Only if you've got low self-confidence. Its bullshit small-talk to pass the time, the point is the act of talking not the content of your conversation.

I like to say as little as possible at the barber shop. It's funny. I know that the person cutting my hair generally has an inclination for conversation. They become frustrated and squirm a little bit when they finally discover that I'm not interested in talking to them. The idiots actually enjoy talking to strangers.

just talk to him/her. why do you care? he doesn't know who you know, you don't know who he knows. just chat, shoot the shit. be as open as you want to, in full confidence that nothing bad can really come from it.

bottom line: IT DOESN'T MATTER, SO ENTERTAIN YOURSELF.

I got a blowjob from my barber.

Chill the fuck out, faggot. No one actually cares if you say something retarded, as long as you don't piss anyone off.

I talk about hair.
If my barber has an interest in the topic of hair, then I will return to him. If he says "I don't care so much for hair" then I will not tip him a single penny.

My barber is always playing classic rock so we're both happy to shut the hell up.

They say that the barber, hairstylist, etc, knows everything about everyone, I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.
