Well, exactly! I guess social interaction demands that some comment is passed (ideally, "ooh, your new haircut looks nice!" would work.). It's weird that the default is informing the cuttee that they've had a hair cut.

This is true also when looking for a "new baby" card. Most of them seem to say something like "You've had a baby girl!"[*]. Which seems weird to me, since in most cases the person/people to whom I'm sending the card have already informed me that they've had a baby girl.

[*] In pink lettering. On a pink card. Surrounded by pink teddies and pink hearts. But that's a separate rant.

Similarly for birthday cards - "It's your birthday!" "Yes, I know. I told you that."
