As long as we can still work on your hair, it's a-ok. Earbuds are better for cuts rather than color, but they can still get in the way.
Rob Casey, a barber at Fellow Barber, told BuzzFeed News that wearing AirPods in the chair is akin to coming in with a newspaper. It might offend some barbers, who could see it as a slight, and he wouldn't recommend it.
Stay Off Your Phone
Communicating with your barber or stylist during a haircut might be necessary, and you can't do that if you're on the phone. Some stylists find it rude, but some don't mind. If you don't know, just ask. It's not a bad idea to silence your phone and take the opportunity to unplug and unwind.
Don't expose AirPods Pro or AirPods (3rd generation) to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, perfumes, solvents, detergent, acids or acidic foods, insect repellent, sunscreen, oil, or hair dye. All of these can negatively affect water seals and acoustic membranes.
The original AirPods or AirPods (2nd generation) aren't waterproof or water-resistant at all, so don't ever let them get wet. The same is true of any AirPods charging case. Despite what some websites say, like MacRumors, the MagSafe charging case with the third-generation AirPods or AirPods Pro is not water resistant.
Firstly, no barber wants to cut dirty hair. It's unhygienic, and it makes the job a lot harder. If your hair is clean, your barber will be able to do a much better job.
For one thing, it's just plain courteous. Your hair stylist will appreciate it if you come in with clean hair, and it's not fair to make them work with dirty hair. Secondly, wash your hair before going to the salon so that your hair color will look its best.
When was the last time you got a haircut that you thought looked great right off the bat? Chances are those precious moments are few and far between, but much more often, people get haircuts that they don't exactly like at first that they grow to love within only few days. This is generally the normal experience.
You might be tempted to close your eyes, but you should not. A shoulder massage is offered, accepted. After your haircut, ask for a rinse. It is also perfectly appropriate to request a trim of the eyebrows, nose hair, or ear hair, if necessary, or a beard trim, if applicable.
As Capizzano puts it, "barbers are visual people." Pictures really help barbers visualize what you're looking for in a haircut and serve as a great guide. There's a catch though — the best photo you can bring in to show your barber is a picture of yourself after a haircut that you really liked.
One of the list items was “It's okay if you don't want to chat.” Usually a hairdresser can read the person well and if you are quiet or not very responsive, they won't keep chatting.
First of all, Apple's Airpods don't provide active hearing protection, meaning that they don't have a built-in function to reduce or filter out the range of loud noises that cause hearing damage. That's probably why Apple itself doesn't list hearing protection as one of Airpods' features.
While you may feel more focused when you are in the zone with your tunes and Airpods in, it's mostly illegal to wear them while operating a vehicle. There may be some exceptions where you can wear one in one ear, but this varies from place to place.
Using one AirPod is super easy and it can come in handy when you're multitasking. Using only one AirPod also allows you to charge the other AirPod so you can optimize charging your AirPods while still listening to your favorite music or podcast.
If you're planning to visit the salon to get your colour done and are wondering whether or not to wash your hair prior to your appointment, Gareth advised showing up with hair that is "not too clean, but definitely not greasy" is the sweet spot - and explained why arriving with greasy hair is a big no-no.
Come In With Relatively Clean Hair
While it's okay for your hair to be somewhat dirty before an appointment (it's okay if you've gone a couple of days without a wash!), if you think your hair is overly dirty, your stylist probably will too.
Make your appointment go as smoothly as possible by coming with your hair detangled. A mixture of water and conditioner in a spray bottle and your fingers – or our personal favorite, the denman brush – can help get out those knots and tangles and make your hair stylist very happy.
A fresh haircut makes you look presentable and adds an extra touch of polish to your personality and look. It's a way of announcing your presence and making first impressions last. A fresh cut works in flow with your energy and ensures that you feel good about yourself when meeting people.
A butterfly haircut combines short layers with long layers to give your hair dimension, movement and body. The short, wispy layers hit around the chin to frame your face, highlight your features and even contour a round face shape.
Clean hair results in a better, faster haircut because it's less work for the barber and easier on the equipment. Avoid coming in with products in you hair, come with clean hair whenever possible. Shampoo or rinse product out of your hair before your haircut.
Plugging hard plastic earbuds, like AirPods®, in your ear may not be terrible in the short-term, but falling asleep with them could add discomfort. Plus, in-ear earbuds can lock moisture into your ear canal, especially if you're headed to bed right after a shower.
Any headphones can damage your hearing if you play the volume too loud and listen for too long. Any in-ear headphones can cause irritation if you use them for too long.
Wearing AirPods that stay deeper in your ear to provide better music could cause ear wax build-up. Long-term use of Airpods could prevent the natural leaking out of ear wax. Also, sleeping with Airpods for more than 6 to 7 hours can cause ear canal and other problems such as ear pain, hearing loss, and ear infection.
