I managed to get brave and ring a salon and booked an appointment for this morning.
I went and it was fine. She was happy to cut it dry and I think she's cut it ok. Always takes me a while to get used to a new hair cut. As much as I wanted it doing because it was annoying me, I struggle with it looking different.
She did a little bit of chatting but not too much so I could cope with that.
I now have the dilemma of what to do when my usual hairdresser messages me to book in another appointment when she is better. I think I'm going to stick with this new salon. I found it an easier experience once I'd managed to book the appointment and actually turn up.
My usual hairdresser advertises as having understanding sensory issues etc but would often chew gum, wear strong perfume and have her phone on loud and beeping near my ear. All of which I found very challenging. She was also extremely chatty and I found the lack of mirror to see what she was doing difficult. I don't particularly want to tell her any of this but would ignoring her if she messaged just be really rude? I'm not one for lying so I don't really want to make something up.
