The only time I know it wasn’t incidental was in an up scale place where there were seperate hair washer babes. Mine would reach across me for hair care stuff, suffocating me in her cleavage. I saw her doing this with other customers, reaching across for products that were also available on her side. She could have put herself through college with her tips. I said tips. 😃 ---

I have to sleep with my hairdresser before she will cut my hair. Mind you I am married to her. 🙂 ---

Yes I’ve had hairstylists press against me too and it didn’t bother me nearly as much as the dentist I had who would work in so close I could see up his nose. Thank Og for masks. No I dont think it was any kind of harrassment or whatever and he did beautiful work so I just closed my eyes and forgot about it. ---

I haven’t used a female stylist in years, but I always figured it was a) completely unintentional, or b) they did it to make the little hairs on the back of my neck stand straight out, thus making them easier to trim. ---

Happens a lot to me, I believe mostly unintentional. There were a few though, which I know were intentional. I must say, depending on the stylist, I enjoy it. - But it doesn’t actually increase the tip. That’s based on how well I like the cut. ---

That’s nothing! My hair stylist sits on my lap and takes her top off. Of course, I get my hair cut in a strip club. Well, not really cut _per se_. More like stylishly disheveled. Sometimes. By the bouncer when I get a little too friendly. It’s still worth it. ---

I’m glad you don’t begrudge your husband getting a boob rub while he’s getting his hair cut. The only reason I don’t get them during my haircuts is that I’ve only been able to find a male barber I like. Sheesh, I have to go to a strip club to get that treatment. Fortunately TheLadyLion isn’t the insecure type either so I didn’t have to say it was a business meeting because my boss was in town. She just said it would only bother her if I went to titty bars by myself. ---

This never happens to me. Then again, my hair stylist is a Gillette Mach 3 razor. ---

It happens quite often, and tips are increased accordingly 😉 ---

> [@Padeye](#): > > I’m glad you don’t begrudge your husband getting a boob rub while he’s getting his hair cut. Naw, it’s cool. I know he’s coming home to me. So it looks like the general consensus (except for a few lively fellows like \*\*Giraffe \*\* and **Rayne Man** , apparently) is that it’s probably accidental, but enjoyable for the guys nonetheless. Hm. That’s definitely not what the hubby described to me, but the boobage might have clouded his judgement. I’ve seen it happen. ---

> [@](#): > > So where was the screamy all caps thing? Look at the word right before the sentence you quoted. I dated a hot Polish stylist briefly who cut my hair, and who 50% of the time gave me a semi-crappy haircut. But it was the tips that kept me coming back. Or rather the tips on my back that kept me com-- nah, too dirty. Happy ---

It has happened to me as well, both breastal and crotchal contact, with several different hairdressers. I guess it is accidental, at least that is how I’ve interpreted it. But considering how bad I am at picking up signals, it could be that one of them was trying to hit on me. We do not tip hair stylists over here so they are not trying to increase their tip. ---

It happens…It would be like trying to work on a car without touching the fender. Although I’ve never based a tip size on the booby contact, I have based it on how good it felt when she washed my hair. I could have gotten the crappiest cut in the world, but if my scalp was still tinglin’ from the shampoo job, she was gettin a tip… I think it just feels good to have someone else wash my hair. ---

Only once, and that was a real experience. I not only got a boob job, she blew the hair off the back of my neck instead of using a brush. I thought I had wandered into a salon that was actually a front for a brothel. My ex, who had already had her hair done, watched the whole thing and completely agreed that none of it had been accidental. If the stylist was shooting for an improved tip, it did no good—I gave her my standard $50.00 tip and not a penny more. ---

> [@bienville](#): > > But here’s what I really dig (POSSIBLE TMI!!!): I kinda have an armpit fetish. Give me a woman in a sleeveless blouse _reaching_ for something and I’m all smiles! My hairstylist almost never wears sleeves. As I lay back in the chair and she leans over me to shampoo my hair . . . Hot Damn! I’m in Heaven!!! Shaved, or with the little curlies intact? ---

I recall this happening a few times, although the only time that may have been intentional wasn’t while I was getting my hair cut. It was at a place that used a tag-team system, with different people handling cutting, shampooing, shaving and everything else. After the shampoo, cut and shave, an attractive young woman came over and started giving me a face, scalp, neck and shoulder massage. She was definitely putting her weight into it, as boobies were being bounced rather vigorously all around me. As she was doing my shoulders, she said, “feels good, huh?” to which I could only agree. No tipping in Japan, but I do recall that around that time I decided to start keeping my hair regularly trimmed. ---

I never had any of my stylists do this. _:: gets out notepad ::_ So where are these salons, and what are their addresses? 😉 Though when I had my braces and had to go to the orthodontist, I always hoped I’d be seen by his one assistant who’d have to smother me with her cleavage. It was kind of like a pillow on the side of your head. Too bad you don’t tip people in doctor’s offices. Ah, like **wolfman** said, the fun of being a teenager. ---

When I was in high school, the woman who cut my hair used to _grind her crotch on me._ She was kind of cute too, and one day she invited me to an after hours party at the salon. [sub]Yeah… I was an idiot and was too hung-up and insecure to do anything… of course, she seemed pretty much coked out all the time.[/sub] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guys-does-your-hair-stylist-do-this/283141.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guys-does-your-hair-stylist-do-this/283141.md?page=3)
