A long way for a hair cut

Cinnabar_wing

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!

  • I got my haircut today! I found a place for my daughter and the website said were they were good with sensory needs kids, and they were a family place so could do adults too. Plus I could book online so I didn't have the stress of using a phone which made a big difference. 

    My daughter got to watch TV while hers was done, and she was okay with it despite it being her first time not me doing it, and she could keep watching while I got a much needed tidy up. 

    One thing she said there was lots of new growth and asked if it had fallen out, I think it might have been due to all the stress last year, especially with mini breakdown, burnout, trying to get a new job and getting diagnosed. I had thought it was looking really bad and had wondered why shorter bits were coming out, at least it doesn't look so awful now! 

    It was a thing to note that the last time I had been to a salon was before my son started primary school and I got it cut just after he left!

    Congratulations :). I just shave mine off myself. I don't get much chance unfortunately, but I'm planning to do it tomorrow.

    That is one way to do it and make sure it's even! Smile
