Hair cut anxiety

Deleted user
over 5 years ago

Does anyone else have issues with hair cuts?

I hate being touched especially on the head. I've always hated getting my hair cut. But I also hate it getting long and will not tie it back so have no choice but to get it cut regularly.

The person that has cut it since I was quite young - for at least 15 years has given up hair dressing. This has really thrown me and I'm now really anxious about finding someone new to cut it. I'm not keen on meeting new people either so that really doesn't help. I don't even know where to start to look for someone new that may have a bit of understanding. My old hairdresser always cut it the same every time. The thought of someone cutting it differently really freaks me out.

Probably sounds a bit daft at nearly 30 but this is a massive issue for me.

    I hate going to the hairdressers so much that I stopped doing it years ago! I think the whole social side of it is traumatic enough, then with the added sensory issues relating to the use of hair products, and having to pay for such a difficult experience...it’s just all too much for me. Funnily enough the actual haircut or having my head touched doesn’t bother me.

    I have resorted to trimming the ends of my hair myself or getting my mum to do it for me,  which isn’t an issue as I keep my hair long. I’m very minimalistic in terms of hair care that’s for sure (I often say my hair is ‘free range’)!

    I wish I could do this. I am minimalistic with hair care but I really can't stand it long so it's gonna have to get cut.

    Would one of those hairdressers that will cut it in your home be any better for you (if there are any in your area)?

    Hate my brain sometimes. Simple things become so flipping complicated.

    You can usually find things like this in local directories or by searching online for mobile hairdressers in your area. I also have great difficulty using the phone, so I understand the issue there. If a mobile number is given you could always try texting instead of phoning. I agree that an email address would be best though.
