Haircuts! Why are the small things so hard?

I'm having a dilemma. Last year my normal hairdressers shut without warning. I found this very difficult but found someone that could come to me. Wasn't the solution I hoped it would be but I was getting my hair cut. I can't stand my hair getting longer by the way - mega sensory issue! I was a bit late booking what should have been my most recent haircut and that hairdresser is now unavailable for reasons that aren't her fault. This means that my hair is now at a really annoying length and I have no idea when this person will be able to cut it. The obvious solution is to go to a salon and ask them to cut it. But I am struggling so much with this concept. To ring or walk through the doors of the salon and speak to people feels too much as it is. To also explain that I struggle with haircuts and get very anxious is another level. To actually have someone else cut my hair fills me with dread. Will they do it right? How much should I tell them to take off when I've left it so late? Etc etc. I can manage to live alone and have a career but getting my haircut is a lifelong problem. Why are the small things so damn difficult?

  • Yeah I've hated getting my haircut since I was a child. I hate the horrible itchyness of the hair cuttings down the back of my neck. I hate the knowing what to say, and what to ask for. I dreaded when the haircut day was getting closer and then was so glad when it was done. I got to the age of 25 and just decided I was sick of it and decided to cut my own hair. Now I just shave it off and let if grow back, rinse and repeat :p
