Hairstylist is great but I disagree with her about everything

So I got my hair cut and really liked this new hair stylist, but I wish I didn't have to listen to her. Why? Because everything she says about her relationships/children I disagree with. She loves to talk. Was married once for 30 years, her husband had addictions. He left her for another woman, but she says she would take him back in a heartbeat. But right now she has been involved with her current boyfriend for 3 years. He can't seem to keep a job, so she is paying for dinners out, etc. One of her daughters is very disrespectful and now calls her mother by her mother's first name. I asked how come?

And she says to me, well, she always treated her daughters like pals once they got older and now one daughter just doesn't respect her. My hairstylist is 67 years old. She told me she is so, so looking forward to Valentines Day as it will be romantic as she will be taking her boyfriend to a restaurant and then she is going to spread rose petals all over the bed and have candles, etc.

She was asking me how old did I think she was? I said, oh no, I am very bad at guessing ages. So she told me that everyone says she doesn't look her age. I hate to say she does look her age (though I did not say that). She has dyed blonde hair down to her bum and wears a ton of makeup, she is slim and tall, but she still can't hide the fact that she is in her sixties unless she goes the botox way I guess.

So I don't know if I will go back to this hairdresser, because I feel like saying, why are you staying with this man? And why would you want your ex-husband back who has addictions and who left you? And no wonder, her daughter does not respect her when she is trying to act like her daughter's friend to go out clubbing with rather than a mom??
 

Tulip, I know how you feel about being obligated to listen to a hairdresser blather on about things you don’t care about. You’re the customer. If it’s a great haircut, I’ll suck it up and get through. Someone should train them about customer service during their training.

I’ve changed hairdressers when the cut became marginal and it wasn’t worth giving them another chance based on the discussions.
 
I'd find another hairdresser/stylist. You are paying for a good haircut NOT another episode of "All My Children" gone reality show.
I LOVE my hairdresser. He is the second best hairdresser I've ever had in my life.
I send him to my friends who want a good haircut and they love him, too!
He is from Mexico City and he is gay; I just LOVE listening to his perspectives about life and being gay.
He think he has had butt implants but I don't care. I kinda like looking at his cute butt in his black jeans and the way he runs his fingers through my long hair, the way he tossels it when he is done blowing it out. Kinda sensual!
His clientele seem to be about 70% Mexicans as the receptionist speaks spanish the other hair dressers speak spanish...he teaches ME spanish! I'd like to work for him, I just love his relaxed view on life and he is funny without trying.

Sadly I have never had a GOOD haircut by a woman in 50 years. Seriously. Not sure why?
 
If you find the talking that she does, to be stressful for you, or you leave feeling annoyed, then I would find another hair dresser.

If you don't and can ignore it, then accept the good haircut.

I would personally find someone else. I want that time of mine to be relaxing or at least tolerable.
 
I learned to cut my own hair because I grew weary of someone giving me haircuts for a 70+ year old. I don’t care if I am that old, cut my hair as I ask —🤯🤯

I'm always suspicious when a service person starts crying woe and financial hardships. First I find it very unprofessional and secondly I feel like I'm being greased for a larger tip.

That‘s a great point — if you think it you’re probably right.
