A long way for a hair cut

I saw this article about families travelling long distances to get their kids hair cut at a sensory friendly hair-saloon.

Wouldn't it be nice if there were more good autism-friendly hairdressers. Maybe I could get mine cut then!

  • Hello Cinnabar_wing.

    As you say, hair dressers can be a bit of a hotbed for those with sensory needs  - I know for a fact, even as an adult, I try to avoid them where possible.

    After doing a little bit of trawling, I noted that we do have reference to a sensory needs friendly hair care service in the London area - I wonder what other opportunities might be available elsewhere in the country, this could be worth a look.

    All together, you’ve raised a very interesting point - finding suitable hair dressers can be an incredible chore.

    Thanks - Mod Zac.

  • Thank you Zac, there must be more places, shame more aren't putting themselves on the NAS directory. Seeing that there are families travelling great distances when they might have closer options, it would be good for their business!
