| Devised by a Tokyo hair salon during the Covid-19 pandemic to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the ‘Silent Cut’ service is becoming increasingly popular in Japan. |
| As a way of curbing the spread of the coronavirus during the Covid-19 pandemic, authorities in Japan started promoting “no conversation” or “less conversation” policies in schools, shops and supermarkets. Less talking meant fewer risks of spreading the virus via saliva droplets. One Tokyo salon decided to implement the ‘silent cut’ service and it proved so popular that others quickly followed suit. |
| “It’s great…! I’ve been waiting for this service for 20 years. Because chatting is so depressing, I only get a haircut every 3 years,” one person wrote about the silent cut service. |
| “I’m saved because the conversation with the hairdresser is troublesome,” someone else commented. |
| A recent survey revealed that over 70 percent of respondents preferred the silent experience, with the most common explanations being that they found it more relaxing, as they were able to rest instead of spending what little energy they had left on hearing unwanted information and making small talk. |
| As it turns out, hairstylists prefer the silent cut as well, with many claiming that they were taught to chat up clients in their apprenticeship. |
