In today’s busy and sometimes stressful world, finding moments of relaxation can be challenging. Having your hair styled or coloured helps you feel confident and fabulous – but for some people with social anxiety, the thought of visiting a hairdresser and conversing can bring its own stress. At Rodney Wayne, we believe everyone is unique and has the right to look and feel fabulous. So we are thrilled to introduce our new option for ‘No Small Talk’ appointments.
What is the Rodney Wayne ‘No Small Talk’ Service, and How Does it Work?
We understand that social interactions can vary significantly from person to person. While some find small talk enjoyable and energising, others prefer a quieter and more contemplative environment. At Rodney Wayne, we always aim for a balance of 95% professional and 5% personal when speaking with our guests. In determining the exact proportion, we take our cue from you.
When you book a Rodney Wayne ‘No Small Talk’ service, you can expect the same professionalism and expertise with your hair service, style, or coloration. The difference with a ‘No Small Talk’ appointment is that you would only receive spoken information from your salon team that is essential to provide you with the hair service you require. At the end of the appointment, you would receive brief words of advice about how to care for your style after leaving the salon and any simple rebooking and payment information. At all times, you will be treated with the same professional care as a regular Rodney Wayne service.
Why Is Rodney Wayne Now Offering a No Small Talk Service?
Every Rodney Wayne New Zealand hair salon is built on the promise that we listen and care. We continually look for ways to improve the quality of our offerings and how we respond to the needs of the communities and individuals we serve.
Recently, representatives from the media organisation Warner Bros. Discovery ANZ contacted us. The producers of TV3‘s new current affairs show Paddy Gower Has Issues were researching the story of someone whose social anxiety makes them nervous about going to the hairdresser because they are worried about having to hold a conversation. Paddy Gower and reporter Karen O’Leary were interested in the hairdressers’ and stylists’ perspectives.
During the filming, it became clear that Rodney Wayne could provide an extra service to make visiting the salon a more comfortable experience for people who may otherwise have been hesitant.
As a result of participating in the story, we are implementing a new feature on the website where people can update Rodney Wayne with their preferences and book a ‘No Small Talk‘ service.
