Hair dresser question

[Anonymous]

I made an appt with a hair dresser who was recommended on social media. Basically somehow I ended up telling her everything about me and it felt like a therapy session. So my question is like why did I do that????

Wife is a hairdresser and you should hear the stories her clients tell her! Threesomes, bi-sexual, affairs, list goes on…

It is scientifically proven that it’s easier to talk to someone when your back is to them. Even though you can see them in the reflection and the mirror, there’s something that allows you to be more vulnerable with your back to them than having a face-to-face conversation.

Whew...mine was tame compared to that but still somehow I told her my whole family tree, everyone's occupations, what states they live in. I mean, I felt so comfortable. I'm so annoyed with myself!! That is crazy though that people would admit to "Threesomes, bi-sexual, affairs, list goes on…". What in the world?

Interesting, might need to use this for DH and the kids.

Service professionals don't just provide the service, they are also therapists.

Ask me how I know.

I have had my clients tell me so much about their lives. Sometimes people just need to vent.

I find myself having serious hard conversations with my teenagers in the car.

Probably because she is a very down-to-earth, easy to talk to person.
She may also have a warm, casual + laid back personality that likely made you very comfortable confiding in you.

I am sure many hairdressers (like bartenders!) have clients such as you‼️

B/c their lives are probably just a messed up and they won't judge you.

I have a good friend who is a hair stylist and we often joke that she should become a therapist. People spill ALLLL the details with whoever cuts their hair. She knows way too much about some people. So no, you are not alone.

Because you are lonely and have no filter or boundaries.

Hair stylists are colloquially known as chair therapists. It's totally a thing! I go to 2 diff stylists (one for color, one for cut) and we definitely gossip about everything. I know so much about them, they know so much about me. It feels like a "safe space" and what else am I going to do, stare at myself? Lol.

I had no idea about the back turned theory, but I believe it.

Because you have a personality disorder and overshare?

Pretty offensive that you are sticking "bi-sexual" in there.
