Line 2:
You might be there for for any number of things: a trim, a shampoo-and-set, a perm, a dye job, or possibly a facial or manicure. But she's there for only one thing: to talk. Compliments, quirky personal anecdotes, urban legends, gossip, and romantic advice come free with the purchase of any beauty treatment. If you're lucky, it's just comic relief. If not, plot may come crashing down on your head.
 
The [['''Chatty Hairdresser]]''' is [[Always Female|usually female]], and has a greater-than-usual likelihood of being a [[Sassy Black Woman]] (especially if the main character is working- or middle-class) or [[Camp Gay]] (especially if the main character is upper-middle-class or higher).
 
[[Distaff Counterpart]] to both [[The Barber]] and the [[Always Male]] [[Driver of a Black Cab|chatty cabdriver]].
Line 66:
* With the amount of things [[Scooby Doo|Shaggy and Scooby]] have dressed up as to [[Zany Scheme|distract]] the ghosts of their episodes, they must have done this once, at least.
* [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] in "Homer Scissorhands", a season 22 episode of [[The Simpsons]]. Homer takes up a job as a hairdresser, but having to pay attention to all his clients' stories takes its toll on him.
* [[Parodied Trope|Parodied]] in ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]''--in—in one episode, Daffy styles Bug's wig (he's [[Disguised in Drag]]) while Bug confides the entire subplot in him. Daffy proceeds to give him Chatty Hairdresser advice. No [[Mythology Gag]] about "interesting monsters", sadly.
