The other day, while I was getting my gray hair dyed at a hair salon, I overheard a conversation between a customer at the next mirror and the hairstylist. The two, who seemed much younger than me, were discussing the pros and cons of taking supplements. The customer argued loudly, "Why do supplements even exist in this world? Shouldn't people just eat a normally balanced diet?" and went on to dismiss teas that lower blood pressure and yogurts that lower cholesterol one after another. If it were me, I would have wanted to talk back, asking, "What exactly is a 'normal diet'?" or "Does the tea you drink contain no additives?" However, the hairstylist nodded skillfully, drawing out the customer's personal theories. Gradually, the topic shifted to skincare, and the customer began introducing various cosmetics to the stylist. I felt impatient, thinking, "Cosmetics are the ultimate artificial chemicals; that contradicts your belief in natural foods," but once I reconsidered that they were simply a "generally health-conscious person," I suddenly felt a sense of warmth toward them. I was also impressed by the hairstylist's listening skills.

The next customer appeared to be slightly older than the hairstylist and was talking about baseball using more polite language than the previous customer. At first, the customer seemed a bit bothered, choosing their responses carefully, but they gradually got into the hairstylist's rhythm. The stylist, who had been a complete listener with the previous customer, took the lead this time, and the speaking time for each person was about fifty-fifty.

Even after returning home, I couldn't stop thinking about this hairstylist's communication techniques, so I searched for academic papers using a database. I found a study showing a correlation between an increase in a hairstylist's listening skills and an increase in the number of requested appointments (Matsumoto et al., 2014). It was noted that no clear correlation was found with small-talk skills. The primary work of a hairstylist is the technique of "beautifying the appearance through methods such as permanent waves, hair styling, and makeup" (Cosmetologists Act), and it seems that communication is not heavily taught in training facilities. Certainly, whether I would request this stylist again depends on my judgment after they cut my hair. It seems necessary to reconsider why we emphasize communication in basic nursing education, what listening means in nursing, and what its outcomes and measurement methods are.

I wasn't intentionally eavesdropping. Passing the time while waiting for hair dye to set can be quite productive.
