Why Your Stylist Talks Like Your Life Coach & How RSViP Saves You From Extra Conversation
The Awkward Salon Small Talks: A Funny Look at Beauty Appointments
If you’ve ever sat in a salon chair with a cape wrapped around you like a hostage bib, then you’ve already competed in one of the toughest emotional sporting events in human history:
The Awkward Small Talk Olympics.
This is where stylists become investigators, therapists, aunties, life coaches, judges, and comedians — all while holding scissors dangerously close to your ears.
Let’s recap the events, shall we?
Event 1: The Personal Question Sprint
Stylists have a superpower:
They can make you reveal your entire life story in under 30 seconds.
“Where you working now?”
“You seeing anybody?”
“You still talking to your ex?”
“Your kids still bad?”
“Why your hair so dry?”
“Who did this to you?”
Miss ma’am, I am just here for a trim.
Meanwhile, you’re sitting there like:
😐 “Please let this be over.”
You can’t leave.
You can’t run.
You can’t pretend you didn’t hear them.
You’re trapped — emotionally AND physically — while snippets of your hair slide down your shirt like itchy tiny insults.
Event 2: The Fake Laugh Marathon
Stylists crack jokes.
Some are funny.
Some are… jokes.
But whether it’s hilarious or not, you must laugh like your tip depends on it.
Because it does.
“Girl, I told my man if he leave me, I’m going with him!”
🤣
“Haha, right???”
(Why am I laughing like this? Help.)
It’s a never-ending cardio workout for your soul.
Event 3: The Nodding While Getting Burned Relay
Your stylist is curling, pressing, or blow drying your hair WHILE asking deep questions:
“So why y’all break up again?”
You want to say,
“Because they talked too much… LIKE SOMEONE ELSE I KNOW.”
But you just smile, nod, and hope your ears survive the heat.
Event 4: The Oversharing Balance Beam
Why do stylists start confessing things we did NOT need to know?
Their ex from 2009
The cousin that stole their wig
The neighbor who keeps parking in their spot
The cat that ran away but still owes them money
And you’re sitting there like:
“Girl… I’m just trying to survive this silk press.”
How RSViP Helps You Avoid the Small Talk Olympics
Here’s where the hero enters the chat:
✨ The RSViP Booking App ✨
RSViP is designed for people who want great hair without feeling like they’re being interviewed for a documentary.
With RSViP, you can:
✔ Pre-select your services
No more explaining what you want while choking on hair spray.
Your stylist already knows what you booked.
✔ Add notes
“Minimal talking.”
“Just a trim.”
“No therapy session today.”
“Please don’t ask about my ex.”
You can set boundaries BEFORE you sit in the chair.
✔ Skip long explanations
RSViP handles details so you can sit quietly, peacefully…
or silently panicking inside, whichever is your normal.
✔ Reduce that awkward ‘so what we doing today?’ moment
Because your stylist already saw everything in the app.
✔ Spend less time talking and more time slaying
We love stylists, but sometimes we just want silence and soft music playing while our ends get clipped.
Final Thoughts
Some people go to the salon for conversation.
Others go for peace.
And some go because their hair looks like it needs a motivational speaker.
No matter which category you’re in, RSViP makes sure you walk in prepared and walk out with your sanity — and your style — intact.
The Awkward Small Talk Olympics will always exist…
but with RSViP, you don’t have to compete every time.
