Hair cut dilemmas

Expecto_Patronum

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.

    My length is ok atm but it will need cutting soon as it's started feeling unclean and that for me makes me anxious. I'm a clean freak.

    Really good idea! When I was younger I hated going to the hairdressers and in the end my mum found a local mobile hairdresser for me who was really good, she was patient and kind, never put any pressure on me and was always gentle with my hair.

    I have looked for mobile hairdressers where I am now but none are in my area - I hope you will find one for yourself. I remember that helped me a lot as a child so hopefully you will find the same. :)

    I can't stand hair being tied up. That is one of the reasons I keep it on the shorter side. 

    There are more important things than haircuts if you're ok with the length your is.
