No need to awkwardly talk about weather or sport while being held captive ever again.
Pre-lockdown my barber knew the rules - five pound tip if I could be in an out within 15 minutes saying nothing other than 'the usual', 'that's great' and 'keep the change'. Lockdown haircuts take longer, look worse, but involve no talking other then the occasional 'oh faaaaaak' when I get the hand holding the mirror confused with the hand holding the clippers.

Used to work in a coffee shop that was next door to a hairdressers. Went in one day for the convenience, got a hand massage while getting my hair cut. That was odd but quite soothing.
Bought myself some hair clippers and a decent pair of scissors a few months ago and am just going down the DIY route from now on. No need to awkwardly talk about weather or sport while being held captive ever again.
