Hair cut dilemmas

Was mentally preparing myself to go to the hairdresser's this week. I hate the hairdresser's - sensory issues, small talk, worry about it going wrong etc. Usually on a Thursday I would get a "look forward to seeing you" text but it never came. I found this odd so I swallowed down some anxiety and tried giving them a call but got a message saying "this number is no longer taking calls". I googled them and it came up as saying business is closed. This has completely thrown me and I feel like they could at least have let their customers know, I'd only made the appointment 8 weeks ago.

I'm now in a total spin of needing to find a new hairdresser but I hate going to new places and having to try and explain. I don't like them to do anything other than cut my hair so I don't want anyone that is going to want to faff about styling it or anything like that. I also wouldn't want someone that is really chatty and I worry about whether they'll cut it right. I just can't quite get my head round going somewhere new. But I also hate my hair getting long as it really irritates me so I know I need to get it sorted.

  • I'm sorry you're struggling with this. It's something I relate with, I get so overwhelmed and am always hunting for new new places to get my hair done but I hardly ever go out because it's such a sensory overload. I need my hair done but last time I went to the hairdressers I had a big meltdown and I haven't had it cut since. Now my hair looks like I'm from the 80s lol.
