Haircuts

A

Today’s task was to go and get my hair cut. One of the most stressful things I have to do on a regular basis.

Getting the crowded, noisy smelly subway into town. Sitting in an incredibly noisy and busy barbershop with people touching me and talking at me and clipping and buzzing around my head.

I hate it. There must be a better way (other than shaving my head!).

  • I haven't had my hair cut in like 8 years. 

    If it was just something you had done and that was it, I'd forced myself to get through it, but you have to keep enduring it every so often for forever. So I just put up with my hair down to my belly button.

    In general I’d agree with you but I have to go to a work event next week at which I have to look smart Worried

    Yes, I think it is. Somewhere quiet and out of the way.

  • Why does it matter? who told you having a hair cut matters? i've only been to the hairdressers twice in my life, i either let it grow long or keep it short, the only people it matters to are the people you don't want around you in life anyways, because they're judging you.

  • The last time I went to a hairdressers was around 30 years ago!

    I hate everything about them, the forced small talk, the noise, the smells, the mirrors, the hairdryers, etc.

    I wear my hair long and just cut off the split ends every once in a while.

  • Well there's definitely better than what you're doing at the moment. 

    I only get my hair cut about once every 3-4 months and that's because I need to keep it short or it's bad sensorily. My hairdressors is very small, and usually only has one person working in it at a time which means I don't have to deal with the overwhelm of the noise of everyone else in the shop.


    While I know changing routine is hard (I didn't get my hair cut for 5 years after my old hairdressers shut until my mum helped me find this one) is it worth looking for smaller barbers in the outskirts of the city?
