My quiet method: why I cut hair without background noise

Everyone swears by having music on, but I think it's just a crutch. I once butchered a beard trim because some loud track made me jump. Now, I keep it quiet, and my work has never been better. For instance, I can actually hear what the customer wants without yelling over beats. Sure, some folks think I'm odd, but their haircuts speak for themselves. So go ahead, call me boring, but my scissors don't lie. Give silence a shot and tell me I'm wrong.

Read a study on barber focus and silence last week.

Lost a client once cause I misheard "shorter" for "square" over some awful pop song. Totally butchered the back and never trust lyrics again.

Nah, gotta blame the music not your ears. That song was probably garbage anyway. Clients should know better than to talk shop over a blaring radio.
