Episode notes
Split Chairs To Save Waiting Time
- If you want faster service at a two-barber shop, ask to split tasks: request one barber for your child and the other for yourself to sit together.
- Offer a sincere reason (time pressure, errands) and tip a bit more to smooth the change.
Frame Changes As Practical And Respectful
- If a barber resists, frame the request as practical and respectful: emphasize you value them and need a quicker appointment this time.
- Use a believable constraint (wife, movie, errands) and offer a higher tip to avoid awkwardness.
Change Your Look To Change Your Barber
- If direct switching feels awkward, change your own look (grow longer hair or a ponytail) to make a different barber a better fit.
- Own the style shift as a personal choice so nobody feels replaced.
