Was my hairdresser hitting on me?

[spectredenali21]

I get my haircut at one of two barbershop in town. I look young for my age (22). At the time I had grown some facial hair so I didn't look young. My hairdresser is shorter than me and she's middle aged. As she was cutting my hair she asked me what I did and I told her I was a college student studying economics. She asked me what I thought of the oil prices. She asked me my age and I told her that people always thought I was younger. She said that only men can grow beards and she knew I wasn't a boy. She accidentally made a mistake doing my hair due to miscommunication. I kind of panicked and she said she would fix my hair. She asked me if I had anxiety and she said she has anxiety too. As she styled my hair she asked me if I had a girlfriend. I said no and I asked her if she had a boyfriend and she said no. She then asked me what my plans were for the rest of the day. I also got the haircut for free.

Yesterday (11 months later) I was getting my haircut. Once I finished that same woman kind of stopped me in my path and asked me if I remember her from the year before (she even said the month). She said that she messed up my hair and has never made a mistake like that since. She then asked me why my hair was short now. She said she noticed when I came in the location over the past months that my hair was longer. She then asked me if I was wearing it short due to summer. I then told her everything was good and shook her hand. She gave me a firm handshake.

Maybe?
I think it's more likely that she makes conversation with anyone who's in her chair... I mean, she's going to be right there right up against you for 10-20 minutes or however long it takes to do a haircut and silence would be awkward. Asking what you do, where you're from, etc. and running with available conversation topics only makes sense, especially if you seem willing to chat.
She probably remembers you because of her messing up your haircut that time too.

It's beneficial for hairdressers to be a little flirty with their male clients to get you to come back and have them cut your hair in the future. If you like the attention you get from a particular hairdresser, and they're good enough to remember you and remember details about you, that's probably enough of a relationship to keep you coming back rather than going somewhere else next time or having another person cut your hair.

I wouldn't overthink it. But at the same time, if you're interested in her, you could throw it right back at her... ask what she's up to after she gets off work and maybe let her know you'll be at such and such bar watching the game and that she should stop by or something like that. Or just ask her if she'd like to get together some time. But I wouldn't take what you posted about as her hitting on you seriously...
