Haircuts as an autistic person

Wib

So I’m really due a haircut. However, I find the entire experience to be a nightmare. I have really bad sensory issues when it comes to people or anything being near my head and the noises of the barbering stuff. I also find the small talk part difficult and struggle to explain to the barber how I want my hair done. Does anyone have any tips if they’ve had similar issues ? Trying to hype myself up to go on Thursday but it’s a struggle lol.

  • Find a picture of what you like and show it to your hairdresser, they may say that what you've chosen isn't suitable for your hair, like if your hair is to thin.

    Do you only go to a barber rather than a hairdresser? You don't have to have cuts involving clippers or other gadgets, they can just use scissors, it depends on the cut.

    Unfortunatley they do need to get close to you and stand behind you, it's impossible to do a haircut without doing so.
