Top 10 Undesired Customers Every Barber Avoids

Clearly, if by any chance you work in the barber's branch you've certainly met some of the people below listed or if you find yourself as being the customer, you can now see where you're at and what to do about it. Here is a list to balance everything and make the two get along better. Enjoy!

10. The Skeptic

This is the most frequent type of customer, he is being skeptic with the barber although they know each other already. This one will ask questions about every single thing the barber is about to initiate on him, from "what shampoo will you use?" to "have you washed you hands today?" to "what do you do with all the hair after cutting it?". It's easy to go crazy on someone like this!

9. The "Hold On"

Indeed hold on! This customer is worse than the previous, mainly because he comes to the barber with problems unsolved. He keeps on getting calls and messages that require urgent response! So, as expected, the barber gets interrupted several times, the other clients get delayed and everyone becomes irritated. Don't do it!

8. The O.C.D.

As you may know, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a common, chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable obsessions or behaviors that he feels the urge to repeat over and over again. Such as: sitting and standing several times before finally sitting, or turning left-right, right-left, left-left-right-left-right-right, you get the point, a fussy client. Meditate before visiting the barber, it will help!

7. The Fancy Pansy

Honestly, some customers show up in the barbershop looking like they just came out of one. The hidden reasons for this is either seeking someone to talk to or just to kill the time before doing something else. Either way, barbers find this quite annoying and disrespectful. Come back when you really need a cut!

6. I've changed my mind

As the barber is halfway done, the client decides that the time has come to... you guessed it! Change the mind. "You know what? I think I looked better with the bangs. Why did you cut them for?". Obviously, to glue the bangs back is not a solution, but before switching 180 degrees on your barber, have a clear picture in you head of what you want!

5. The Scavenger

Oh yes! "Have you got anything else to eat/drink?" just right after the customer already got served. He demands more snacks, more drinks and maybe change the TV program as well? The barbershop is definitely not a restaurant nor a cinema. Tell them apart!

4.  The Patient

The price of a session with a specialized psychologist is on average around 30 euro. A good barber can charge the same amount, the only difference is that the second one is dealing with hair only! Again, tell them apart!

3. The Disillusioned

Before getting into action, every barber has a conversation regarding the future appearance of the customer. At the end of the conversation, they both agree on the final look and get on with it. What we have here is called the disillusioned, a person that will demand a cuckoo's nest on a cat's head. They don't go hand in hand!

2. The Casanova

No matter the gender of the barber, a Casanova customer will find a way to make everyone become uncomfortable. "Is that a new necklace?", "Let me feel your trousers, I can't figure out the material!" or the worst, hand grabbing to check out a tattoo or a piece of jewelry. That is a big NO!

1. The Untrustworthy

The last and final customer every barber ultimately avoids is the infidel. We can all agree that you may switch from barber to barber to find what suits you best, but there is another thing when although exists a regular barber, the client decides to ruin the work of another just to try something else that always has a negative outcome. And guess who will fix this? Yes. The regular barber.

As a conclusion to this list, from a qualified barber with a bit of experience, follow your heart when it comes to choosing your barber, let your instinct dictate and make it all be worth it.
