You enter the shop with a small welcome talk with the barber or anyone sitting there you know.If you are visiting a new one, there might be an awkward silence.You sit there waiting for your turn looking at the ticking of a clock, and it feels if time isn’t moving at all there.Silently you will watch the grooming of fellows already sitting there, and the snipping sounds from scissors will be some diversions.And then… you are the next to acquire the hot seat.
