Haircuts as an autistic person

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.

  • A while ago I sat down for a questionairre with the C.A.B designed to indicate how well I managed my money. The only recommendation they could make was that instread of my normal six monthly haircut at the cheapest barber I coudl find I could perhaps go and have my har cut by students for a tenner a go. 

    I promptly bought myself a set of rechargeable hair clippers from ebay for 15 quid, and now I always have smart short hair whenever I get the urge. Admittedly I am male and of an age and demographic where I can get away with that look fairly well.

  • Me too. It's saved me money and stress.
