Autism friendly barber - Scotland

aileanmohr

Hi everyone,

I’m Alan and I’m new here. Does anyone know of a good autism friendly barbershop in Scotland? Specifically Perth & Kinross, Dundee, Fife, or not too far away.

I’m wondering if anyone else has issues with going to the barbershop? As long as I’ve been getting my hair cut I’ve hated the entire process. 
I am not very good at small talk, however I can cope with that part. What I struggle with is the feeling of someone touching my head and hair, the noise of the scissors and clippers in my ears, and the smells (scented spray etc. & barbers who smoke). 

Thank you.

    Hi Anna, 

    Thanks for the link. I have already tried practically all the suggestions that I’m comfortable trying - I’ve found that once I’ve asked a barber to accommodate me, I feel very guilty and won’t go back. 
    I have not tried asking a barber to come to my home yet though, that’s something I will look in
