A silent haircut is exactly what you might expect—a haircut that is entirely silent. This type of service initially began as a way to help prioritize mental health and create a safe and comfortable space for all clients. The silent haircut is intended for anybody that wants some quiet time during their haircut and can specifically benefit individuals with non-neurotypical minds who may find small talk difficult.

While it may seem awkward at first and could take some getting used to, offering silent appointments has many added benefits for hairstylists and clients alike. Instead of proceeding as normal and assuming the person in the chair wants to converse, having the option of silent services available alleviates clients feeling like they must overshare or become extra chatty to keep the conversation flowing. Offering a silent option when scheduling the initial service allows the client to enjoy the experience and tailor it to their personal preferences.

If you are interested in scheduling a silent salon appointment and capitalizing on all the “you time” you can get, you can always request this when planning your initial appointment. Even if your salon does not specifically offer these appointments, you can ask to leave a note for your stylist. Our team at the Z Hair Academy cosmetology school in Kansas City also recommends connecting with your stylist at the beginning of your appointment to discuss your goals and then communicate that you would like to enjoy a silent appointment!
