Autism friendly hairdressers in London

NAS50109

Hi all,

I hope this is an appropriate place to post this question! I am trying to find an autism friendly hairdresser for my brother, who is 29 and non-verbal. He has been going to the same hairdresser for many years, but now that he is an adult and big and loud, they are getting impatient with him. I've been searching online and have found some good resources for children but nothing for adults. If there is anyone who has any advice I'd really appreciate it. Many thanks!

    First place to try for a mobile hairdresser is your local old-age home - they will have someone who goes to them.

    I live in a village in Bucks. Ours used to work in a salon which my wife used, and when she was leaving she let her regulars know.

    Have you got a local Facebook group? Getting recommendations is probably better than a yellow pages pot luck. Asking for a mobile hairdresser in there should at least get you some phone numbers. You can then talk to them - and you'll get a feel for how flexible they are. If they have any sense, they'll leap at the chance. What business does not want repeat custom actively averse to change and moving elsewhere?
