There is this girl who more often than not cuts my hair at Supercuts. I met her while she cut my hair about a year or so ago. She was really nice the first time we met but she started complaining to me about how psycho her ex was. I thought this was TMI at the time and it probably was. Since then, I have had more hair cut by her several times and I find her cute. We haven't really talked much since that first time, but I remember one time when she cut my hair she was breathing really heavily through her nose. I don't know if this girl is single or likes me but I guess there's only one way to find out. The main thing which concerns me is that she is probably 21 or 22 yrs old and I am 28. I heard that most girls mature alot around this age, so I guess that age difference isn't bad. Is it a good idea to ask her out? I've already spoken to a family friend who is a Supercuts District Manager and she said the hairstylists can date whoever they want. There is another place I go to occasionally nearby if I had to.

Just ask her.

I guess you could if you wanted to but if you're not having conversations while she's cutting your hair (except for the first time) why would a date be any different? And those girls generally try to make conversation with everyone so it's no real indication of interest.

Ahahahaha...OP somehow think "they" are unique to this stylist. The stylist is working it, and it's all part of the job, no different to those in restaurants / bars after good tips

Tayken, I think you could just be jealous because you don't have a girl. Is that the problem?

Ah...but I don't go after "girls". See the difference here?

....And, sorry, call me dense, but what the hell does 'breathing heavily through her nose' have to do with anything....? :confused:

When girls breath heavily around a guy, it can mean they are nervous and interested.

Yeah but that's kinda like saying "Look at that guy over there - he is sitting with his arms and legs crossed, it can mean he is in a "defensive" position and not interested", when the guy is just being cold and trying to warm himself.

 

A girl in the gym today was also breathing heavily next to me. Does that mean she was interested, or is it because of the fact that she was doing something physical?

 

Body language should be interpreted within the right context. If she is breathing heavily when she's just standing, facing you, being next to you doing something else, that can be completely different than breathing heavily while working on your hair.

 

But if you like her, yes by all means, ask her out and see what her response will be. You really have nothing to lose.

Former hairstylist here.

 

It is very very ok to ask her out. However, I would suggest you do not book an appointment to get your hair cut and ask her out then. While it is ok per say, keep in mind that hairstylists' revenue depend on their clients so it could make her uncomfortable to accept/refuse.

 

Don't call the salon to ask her out either.

 

Just go on a day you know she is there and has a minute and ask her out (like at the beginning of her shift or at the end)

There is something in this comment...based on my experience with "women", NOT girls :love:

Well, it is true that we are nice to all our clients.

We do have favourites though

;)

I wouldn't.

 

If she says no (or if she says yes, but later the date turns out ****ty or she doesn't want to continue to see you), you're going to have to find a new hairstylist.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, initially when I read your post, the last sentence didn't register in my brain (morning coffee hasn't activated yet!). It seems like you already have another place you can go to. SO yah, why not? Ask her out!

A daughter of a friend of mine is a hairdresser.

Occasionally, she has mild breathing issues at work, because of the build-up of heat and steam in the salon, or even when others are using some hair products.

She could be slightly asthmatic or sensitive to her surroundings.

 

You read waaay too much into that.... :rolleyes:

In Tayken's defense, he's one of the few people who takes reasonable approach to posting here. Pretty much everybody troll on here trying to sound "smart" or "witty" or just trying to make themselves feel better. Few actually know what they're talking about, so as far as your situation goes you probably have better perspective than most on here.

 

Yes, people in customer service may appear too friendly in efforts to score more tips and have repeat customers. But if you think the signs are really-really there, it's worth trying to ask. I doubt she's the only hair stylist who can give a decent hair cut, so you can always switch your hair-cut schedule.

 

Keep in mind, she probably gets a lot of offers as is, so try to be genuine and not player-swagger. Be composed and genuine. And always keep in mind that you don't really have much to lose by asking her, but you might have plenty to gain.

I wouldn't say she is overly friendly. Actually, the first time she cut my hair we both talked but I think she got the point that I wasn't a big talker. I usually am just there to get my haircut. I'm not saying she has been overly friendly or very talkative even, I'm just saying I find her cute.

Then ask her out if you think she's cute. But nothing you've said is an indication she'll say yes.

 

I am a hairstylist.

Yeah, go with that.

 

Ask her out. It's all theory till you do that. Good luck.

 

Do you do it before she starts cutting, while she's cutting or after she's done cutting. Figure that out before you go. I suggest when she's done cutting.
