I would hold off on giving her the quilt and see where conversations take you in the future. Sounds like your hairdresser is really good at communicating with her customer (you) and it may simply be that...and, she may really be interested in quilting too. You don't know yet. You just know that she is a very friendly person! If she seems genuinely interested in quilting you could bring some of your WIP and share with her what it takes. Her reaction to actually seeing a quilt would tell you. (BTW - you sound like a very friendly person too!)
