. "Anyway, normally trips to hairdressers in Turkey are fairly boring for me- I´m not fluent in Turkish and i´d rather just pass the time peacefully. Anyway, this particular hairdresser kept making eye contact with me and it made me cringe inside as I had to give fake smiles. Then he appeared to get closer to me than necessary and whilst he was washing my hair seemed to spend what I would class as too much time washing my hair and massaging my head (he used about 8 different shampoos- no joke!). I started to feel uncomfortable, wondering whether it was totally innocent or if I should trust my instincts and say something... "
You know I had an expirence something similar to you. This male-hair dresser was putting a small towel around my neck, I felt wird, I think because the hair dresser was a male and I have not have a male hairdresser before. I immedlitly responded. I took that towel saying: I can do it.. It worked. And next time I went there I had wore turtle-neck top

i have similar experience and can just say - share this with your bf - and he will take you to female hairstylist, as i am sure that he would feel uncomfortable also...

As for the suggestions about not telling your boyfriend - why? Should he not know that one of his friends probably was hitting on you and/or making you uncomfortable? He should drop that friend right on the spot! You have done nothing wrong.

Because he was putting a towel around your neck? It´s something every hair dresser does and it´s a part of their job.

Male or femals hairdressers,it has nothing to do with gender,both do it,its part of the way they perform their job,so when he cut your hair it wont fall on /in your clothes .

I agree - hardly qualifies as inappropriate behaviour!! Better than getting hair all over your clothes.

Wow! Was this your first trip to a salon girls? A good stylist will wash your hair and massage your scalp for a long time. And I have never been to a stylist that doesn’t wrap a towel around the neck or shoulders before putting on a drape.
I would bet they were just doing their job and hoping for a generous tip.

I would not go back to a salon where the stylist was NOT giving me a towel around my neck, sculp massage etc. If he wouldn´t do that I would think he didn´t know his job!

In Turkey it´s not normal for a woman to have their hair washed or massaged at the hairdresser. It´s only standard for men. They simply have a clerk to spray water on the hair so it´s wet enough to cut.

But these girls who seem so shocked by this aren´t Turkish.
