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.

  • I hate the small talk bit and I also don't like seeing my reflection looking back at me.

    I quite like the feeling of the clippers buzzing against my head, it's quite pleasant as I sit there with my eyes closed.

    Does anyone complain that their hair is wrong or wonky, as long as I get out quickly and my ears are still attached I'm good.

    Although I tend to go straight home and wash whatever is remaining as who wants to be covered in itchy offcuts.
