Haircuts

Yes I hate the mirrors too! Zarastura 25 years growth thats a lot of hair!
Someone mentioned drinking beforehand, theres a hairdressers in London which has a bar! Perfect, it would be great if they had ear plugs and non-speaking hairdressers too. A gin and tonic and a cut and blowdry please...

Hair cuts are a good recipe for high anxiety, and about half the time result in a panic attack or near panic attack condition. From the social interaction to the itchy hair and the stiffling collar and cape, it is no fun.

I cut my own hair. I've reached the point where I can do a better job than any professional that I can afford to go to. I also cut other people's hair, at home, for free.

I've had some bad experiences with pro haircuts. One girl let a lock of hair with dye in it fall in my face, putting a bright red streak down my nose. Another one stabbed me with scissors after arguing with me about the cut I wanted.

It's a burden to get my haircut for the same reasons; I deliberate about getting it done. If I manage to get to the other side of town, I commit. But sometimes I just change my mind and go home. I usually get a crew cut in summer do that I don't have to worry about it for a while...right now, I'm just letting it grow in and wearing a hat during the transitional stage where nothing goes right with it.

I really like the feeling of getting my haircut, and I like the stylist or barber firmly touching my head, but I don't like the rest of the process and I felt awkward knowing the only reason I went was to get physical contact with another person. I bought my own set of clippers and whenever my hair and my beard are getting long I shave it all almost completely off. I don't like the feeling of a lot of hair on my head. Now I save money and time by doing it myself.

When I was a child I had extremely long hair that went all the way to my butt. I didn't need to go to the hairdresser much, I remember that I probably had when I was about four and I suppose it didn't went well, since I've never been to a hairdresser after this until I was 13 years old. However, I can't imagine that it went too horrible, because my granny always did my long hair into a plaid and put things into it to compliment my horribly and way too cute childish look. I should have been used to someone touching my hair as everybody always wanted to.

Today I'm okay with going to a hairdresser, only because I know my hair will probably look cool after. But I can't stand the small talk, I don't start a conversation and even my answers are short and to the point. I may ramble when I'm bored though and then it unnerves everybody, so I try to keep it in check. The only thing I don't like is when someone is too rough with my hair and when they just push my head into a certain direction to better cut the hair on the back of my head or on the sides. Can't they say it rather than just do it?

thead makes me have ptsd flashback of my last haircut.

The lady kept talking and talking and talking....gaaaaaaah

There I was cutting off 13 inches of hair....depressed....on my birthday.....big mistake....

I like it better shorter now though...

I always freeze up..I am always unable to properly express myself and what I want to the hairdresser....


the horror.....

My daughter loves her long hair because she can hide behind it when she needs to. My son gets his hair cut once a year whether he needs it or not.

Don't mind havin a haircut but its da small talk dat puts me off.

i dont like people touching my head or if they do they need to use alot of force

Haircuts were not a joyride do to their interpersonnal-interaction; but they sure feel good.

I'm getting my haircut sometime this weekend. I want a new style so we'll see how that goes. I love getting my haircut, but not when I'm trying to grow it long!

I've never minded the few times I've been to a hairdresser... the hairdressers chatted a little but not a lot; they liked to work in silence sometimes... I cut my own hair a bunch of times too because I was bored and just wanted to do something exciting that might get reaction. I chopped it completely off one side of my head and cut the other side down to my neck at different lengths, then I cut it completely off, before that I've dyed my long hair blue, I've dyed it green, I've cut in in wierd but acceptable layers, I've worn it in freaky styles, but I mostly didn't care how I looked due to boredom and depression and unhappiness with my life and preoccupation with stuff I was trying to figure out.

I have not been to hair salon in over one year but don't actually mind having hair cut. I like when hairdresser washes my hair and when they cut it

The only thing untolerable is getting hair brushed with one of those thin combs...arghh I hate it!
I also don't get my hair blow dried.
