I would guess that there are a few others here who don't like getting their hair cut! I'm fairly certain that I haven't visited a barber in 20+ years. My grandfather boasted that he only had his hair cut twice in his life: for his wedding and his mother's funeral. I didn't have mine cut for either of those occasions. I always justified not doing it because of the expense, but in truth it's more to do with having someone get so close and having to make small talk. I didn't go to the dentist for 20+ years either, which I called dental phobia, though having someone "man handle" me was probably more of a problem than the dental phobia, to be honest.I imagine people may relate to this experience...
I have my hair cut by a friend and former work colleague of my daughter. Both of them have worked with autistic people. My daughter does most of the chatting with her. The way things are going I don't think I'll need a haircut in a few years time. Mind you I was saying and thinking the same over a decade ago. It's a very slow process. I seem to have patchy hair on my arms and legs.
