The guys in my go to barbershop were talking in Arab to each other all the time.
That’s how you know it’s a good shop. -

Same goes for the dentist.
They blow dry your hair too right?

Haven't had to make small talk with a barber in years. My secret? A little thing called Male Pattern Baldness.
I see, so you are rocking meter long hair with a bald spot on top?

I'm lucky that I can cut my own hair.
Every time I went to get a haircut, they never did what I wanted anyway. Maybe its because I wasn't clear enough, or maybe I went to cheap places, but I was never happy to pay for something that simple. So I gave up and started doing it myself. I can do a crew cut with mirrors and guides. It's okay, I think.
My other issue like this is with taxis. I already hate paying for someone to drive me around in a car, then I have to talk to them?! No thanks. I'll take the bus and silently watch outside.
This actually changed my view on vacation places. I went to St-Martin and there were only taxis. I hated it. But then I visited Guadeloupe, was able to use local buses, packed, with no AC, and I was much happier.
As a cyclist taxi drivers are the biggest fucking cunts on the road and are by far the people that put my life at risk most often.
I will walk for hours before I ever give those entitled pieces of shit any of my money. Buses and trains ftw!

Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful!

I finally found a stylist who I legitimately enjoy talking to so now they're the only one I get haircuts from.

I target my vacations specifically to countries where I can get around exclusively with public transit, and a bike if needed

Me too, but I wanted to find out how bad it was by myself. I knew St-Martin/St-Maarten didn't really have public transit per se, and I would probably be stuck using taxis, but not to that extent. It made me think about Not Just Bikes' video on the Bahamas. I planned to rent a bike once on the island but the shop I saw online had two locations, and the closest to me had no bikes. Plus, the trafic was not encouraging. I ended up walking everywhere and stayed close to my accommodation. Otherwise anywhere I wanted to go was like $70 US to and fro in a taxi.
I also wasn't sure about how public transit worked in Guadeloupe, but at least I knew it existed, there are plans and schedules online, and an app. So I also went "to see". The routes are not always direct, the buses have no AC, they are stuck in traffic, but the service exists. I was able to spend my whole vacation there using only buses and ferries. The highlight was renting a bike and cycling around the island of Marie-Galante. As someone living car free, I really appreciate that this was possible.

See you in 5 years.

"Listen, I like to chat, but today I am feeling a bit overwhelmed from work and I need some peace and quiet, could this be a silent haircut please? It would do wonders for my soul right now!"
You are responsible for setting boundaries and attending to your needs. Any good hairdresser will be totally fine with this, and some may even be relieved.
The place I go to has an option for a "quiet haircut" when you book the appointment. I'm pretty social, so I don't usually do it, but I think it's a nice idea for those who want it.
